The CGC are still a headline (as in, listed on the promo splash in the Secundus Box as one of the supported) gang without a book, a bad reputation for one-dimensional playstyle, and a lack of build options (outside of initiates that are...badly tuned) and mid-late game narrative hooks. The...

Well, it is a Frequently Asked Questions document as much as an Errata document. :p People always seem to ask frequent questions about matters that should be subject to an errata entry... Stuff like the exotic beasts being not counted for gang makeup might seem clear to veterans but I have...

A bit more than that (following lists not exhaustive). Major general changes: basic hangers-on now obtainable by outlaws (who are now more sustainable); psykers have to have a power (so the Helot Witch can get fixer + a power as many have been playing it); Omen of Fortune is now sensibly...

Pretty sure they're holding back scavvies and mutants-proper for Hive Mortis, probably after they get around to Hive Skull (aka Feral Orks vs Iron Prospectors). I'm sore that we didn't get Book of Ruin 2 as the CGC are now the only boxed gang* not to have a meaningful rules rework. If they...

"suffers a S3, AP-, D1 hit". Not "roll to hit". So...autohit, roll to wound (the Strength of the hit being on the profile indicates it still needs to wound)..

Don't forget the option of taking mutations on Champions/Leaders, with the possibility of said hierarchy fighter to losing the ability to make post-game actions if they get too mutated! (aka normalising the Xenos Abomination trait within the system)

Best summation of the state of psykers in each gang I've seen. Helots are not directly penalised in any way at the Trading Post as of the 2023 Core Book changes to the Trading Post - it's lawful gangs that have -4 penalties to accessing Illegal equipment, outlaws can access both lists...

You mean the stalking knife? Where's the rending knife?

Yep missed that subtlety during composing a long reply. They're "considered" part of the gang list, could have been written as "considered common-but-exclusive to Escher", but then that opens up a can of worms (there's already sets of players out there that start playing the game thinking they...

There's a difference between selling the Goliaths their creatine-supplement equivalents and selling them chems that make them immune to having their arms blown off!

To clarify, you're talking about getting an UnderHive Trader with the type Connected Trader (from Book of the Outcast, page 36), which allows you to trade with other gangs in the campaign and also double the price you sell the items at. As usual when combining the effects of two Hangers-On...

Precicely. The fact fighters can go bargain hunting gives another dimension to Trading Post interactions beyond the "get whatever goes bang biggest for buck that isn't on my list". Genestealer cults are particularly interesting in that regard - they have really expensive Needle Pistols...

Making the Trading Post less expensive than the gang list is actually pretty reasonable - it prevents gangs from spamming with weapons that offer strong synergies right off the bat. Possibly a result of people playtesting a gang and finding out that there's just A Build that trumps all others...

Dustback Helamite being added as a specific bit of Personal equipment (available for 60 credits) is great - opens up access to everyone in the gang without need for house rules. But it isn't listed on any fighter's equipment list, and is missing a scavenger rating (and the Exclusive tag...ruh...

Before I jump into this, have you looked at the list of territories in the Dark Uprising Campaign (recently reprinted in Necromunda Apocrypha, previously located in Dark Uprising)? As written for the Dark Uprising, they're very involved with the Ruined mechanic, but the vanilla territory boons...

Sorry for the necro (possibly this could be its own thread - post Aranthian Succession House book implications?), but has anyone noticed that RAW the Basic Weapon Wyld Bow does not require two hands to use - for hilarious implication that Wyld Runners have gums and teeth of steel? Sidearm...

Vortex grenades is a bad example (in addition to being inaccessible to the relevant gang list by any measure - Xenos Abomination champions aren't going for I16 Rare equipment actions and their mooks certainly wouldn't either), as it's literally a Single Shot trait item - no ammo roll involved.

I think it was intended to offer the ability to become hidden before the end-of-round auto-application of hidden to everyone. Use Case 1: a Nomad close combat specialist gets hit by a spotlight, can’t charge a relevant nearby enemy or get to cover and is going to be shot otherwise can still...

Phantom kit sighted on page 119: Proximity Auspex (Exclusive) - no cost, no reference to in equipment listings for any of the Squat fighters. The kit itself is an activated-by-Basic-action variant of Augerspex (from the Book of Desolation/Hive Secundus lists) that Reveals a hidden target within...

Goliaths have default strength and toughness of 4 (5 with genesmithing), Ogryns start at Toughness 5 and usually have an extra wound - but their equipment options until now were limited...now Venator-variant Ogryns can choose between the Slave Ogryn leader's gear options (which are great) or...
