@Stoof I see house ty has dark, secret ties to the harlequin

I know Helmwar employs delaque spies, which they made a point of in the Jericho books, but nothings proves that other houses don't as well. Ironically enough the thing most notable about house Ty seems to be their motto "no one hunts like house ty" despite spyrers being the one thing mentioned...

So you're not the first one to notice that the tau seem a little too good for the setting, but the problem is that every writer has their own answer to what the tau's dark secret should be. In dawn of war 1 they use sterilization on the humans that join them, in kill teams (the last chancers...

So on the topic of houses intermarrying, as has already been said above, it does happen with the noble houses, but there is also a mention (in the lexicanum article for escher) that part of the reason escher is okay with orlock is that orlock is known for political marriages, which would suggest...

So, from what I understand, Van saar is actually the gang with the most expensive base guys while escher has the options for the cheapest. Van saar is the shooting gang, with 3+ bs on their base guys but they suffer from horrible initiative and poor ws. In terms of advice for making a list for...

so, from what I understand, the difference between the lascarbine and the lasgun is purely mechanical since the fluff says the only difference is the type of powerpack and firing mechanism, so it might be the same for the laspistol/las sub-carbine dichotomy

also, thoughts on 5 autogun gangers vs 3 bolter gangers. Normally I wouldn't do toys > boys, but hot damn do those look tempting

@Chitriel the weapon swapping thing is from the panel from the section on stashes (59 in the compiled version): "Should any fighter purchase new Wargear, old Wargear may be added to the stash." so assuming that the weapon distribution shenanigans (rightly) don't fly, how does this look Leader...

honestly, you could have fooled me with stats like these. :( Also, if the user buys the weapons to spread out, then whatever they actually want the old wargear can be put into the stash.

@Ravenclaw that actually wouldn't be the case, since it specifically says that you can't equip them with anything above rarity 8, not that they can't purchasse it, so regardless of where it comes from, they can't equip it.

@Whiysper technically you wouldn't need a house rule since the rules for the stash say that anything you purchase at the trading post gets put into your stash (as well as "old" wargear if you want to argue that the legacy HWL isn't the trading post) and since you can equip a new fighter with...

@Chitriel while I completely agree that under normal circumstances I wouldn't think the discount should apply to starting gear, the problem is that without it, the venators are kind of screwed, and since there aren't many situations where the discount will actually save you enough to justify the...

how does this look Leader: mesh + undersuit +van saar legacy + plasma cannon + suspensor (60) Champion: mesh + undersuit + escher legacy + long las (160) champion: mesh + undersuit +shield + power sword (205) and then 5 gangers with las guns (250) if I did the math right, that leaves 30...

I realize this may seem too vague or that I'm asking others to do work for me, but I'm genuinely paralyzed with indecision. I'm trying to make a venator gang for a campaign and I'm not sure what is a good boys vs. toys balance is for them. On the one hand they actually have remarkably cheep guys...
