    N18 How to incorporate new rules (Book of Chains) into campaigns

    I’m always reluctant to do pre-battle boosts. If someone chooses to lose a match and instead inflict as much damage to an opposing gang as possible, the winner is then rewarded twice as all his loses and then gifted back. I don’t view these games as individual skirmishes, but a long haul...

    N18 How to incorporate new rules (Book of Chains) into campaigns

    honestly, I feel the free hired guns coming from all over have been the reason for the change. While it’s neat to have a few with bolters and chain axes as you say, having that kind of firing line for free doesn’t seemlike the intent of the rules (see my “casual” implementations comment). Even...

    N18 How to incorporate new rules (Book of Chains) into campaigns

    I’m starting to realize the biggest issue with all these rules is the game comes from such a casual approach, the rules are casually edited. they are casually implemented They are casually modified Models that really need a unique model available (Pets, Brutes, Guild entourages, etc) are...

    N18 How to incorporate new rules (Book of Chains) into campaigns

    they’d drop the fluff and deliver the bare bones of the rules. This gives folks incentive to own both anyhow. But a consolidated listed of everything hirable that’s just stats and numbers would be an excellent idea. I’m not sold this was a good angle anyhow, but whatever. As long as Forge...

    N18 Exotic beasts limit

    Yeah......I’ll think we’ll keep it per gang personally. Start to get a little “pay/model to win” if busted combos arise and just the fact that a single character can provide that many “bodies”

    N18 HELMAWR -- pronounce it.

    Ya know, ever since I read this, I can’t say his name without contorting my jaw. damn you bro

    N18 [Baseless speculation] What will be the next 'Book of...' and 'quarterly Plastic kit' for Necro?

    I’m just bracing for impact at this stage. I was very disappointed with the Corpse Grinder kit/list. So with both the other cults, they dropped all the silly “Bone Sword” type weapons on the original lists and gave them standard weapon profiles found elsewhere. They reduced the amount of...

    N18 Goliath Juve models

    No. Just like you don’t change their stats to match. This is part of the fun of Juves: they become something completely different from the norm

    Comment by 'EarthDragon' in album 'Escher Chimerix'

    Pretty Awesome. I assume they have to “stay together” the way the model is done 😝

    N18 Any plans of Official Pets and Brutes?

    Sorry for the Necro, but this is Necromun.......never mind. Can you guys that have used other models as some of the Brutes and pets post them up? And what exactly are you using. Shocked I couldn’t find an older servitor model for the Orlock

    N18 Your best Hive Scum & Bounty Hunters ???

    It really does add a lot of personal flavor to the campaign, and when you are seeing the same scum being recycled like that, you’re more prone to pick up guys due to their reputation, even though statistically they are inferior to one of the other guys

    N18 How to use Corpse Grinder Cults

    I am mostly coming from the angle that most of the new weapons do more "for cost" versus the old weapons and add unnecessary bloat. I couldn't care less as to what some of them do in excess, but the mere fact that the Boning Sword schools EVERY weapon that was previously available for that...

    N18 Your best Hive Scum & Bounty Hunters ???

    Couple thoughts: when coming out of pocket, maxing our equipment isn’t always essential. Having a hive scum with ONLY a rifle, shotgun, or pistol is sometimes what the doctor ordered when needing to just fill bodies due to too many captured or in recovery. When NOT paying for bodies, like the...

    N18 How to use Corpse Grinder Cults

    I don’t think we completely are straying off topic however. The CGC is VERY representative of the state of the game and it’s pile on of issues. Things that could be smoothed out (like adjusting the Chain Axe trading post cost by putting it up against a gang list and realizing it had too much...

    N18 Cawdor Tactics

    Well, stat wise, the Leader wants to be a melee guy. With 3 WS versus 4 BS, he’s set to do the heavy lifting. But.........keeping him a midrange and allowing fodder to tie up melee combatants while he tactically pulls of charges is also a way to go. And Blast Templates don’t care as much...

    N18 How to use Corpse Grinder Cults

    The biggest problem I have with the CGC is their lack of inclusive weapons from other places and the over redundancy of their list if both function and appearance. Why don’t they have the Butcher Cleaver from the Goliath list and have a piece in the opposite hand? Why the “dual wield”...

    N18 Some Rackets are Crazy Good

    Where does it say that the 4+ save is “an armor save”. Don’t have it in front of me. I know the editors for Necromunda have been terrible and shows that GW has halfassed this entire game, riding on all us nastalgia idiots to buy and modify the game for our own purposes, but at the same time...

    N18 Starting enforcer gang

    There are many who suggest not worrying about CC combatants......that’s a symptom of how their play group sets up their terrain. Overly complex and over simplistic set-ups allow little to no encroachment. If that is how your group is going to play, then by all means neglect melee. But if you...

    N18 Looking for C&C on starter Van Saar gang please

    It depends how the campaign is run. I run scenarios that will be brutal on "only range" gangs, and others that will punish heavy melee gangs. Half the reason Van Saar are seen as OP by many is players preference to set-up criss-cross high stack jungles to where shooters get dozens of...

    N18 Non random advancements for gangers

    Yeah static balance is just different. Escher aren't using their Lasguns less efficiently then Orlock. Orlock aren't using their Shotguns less efficiently then Escher. This was just carry over habits from those systems trying to force players into specific flavors. But this could just as...
