    You should make it more clearer right at the first post then "This idea is bonkers, straight from the personal feel good kit, don't try it at home." Otherwise beginners might try it, get frustrated when friends Ambot fills the same role and it's cheaper and more effective and way cooler looking...

    Take the heavy weapon, you can bomb enemies with it from round one onward, instead of having 160 creds worth of gear skulk around for the first half of the game. All the above mentioned special champions have a head start when it comes to close combat. If in addition to this, they have been...

    N18 Versatile, bloody versatile

    Fine, I guess I won't be getting any answers otherwise. The original thread is here. Ok, am I supposed to understand this so, that once you do Attack (basic) action with a stick, the model will remain engaged for the rest of its activation, and can only perform Attacks and Retreats? But if...

    Ok, so the stick wielder can shoot first and then poke?

    Don't change anything then. With the current list you'll make a lot of friends and everyone wants to play against you. Win-win.

    Ok, so if the models are still Standing & Engaged after the stick soldier's first fight (basic) action, does it mean the only action they can make are Fight or Retreat? Sucks to be the enemy model, if he's not carrying a stick of his own.

    More plasma, less las. Drop leader's and champion's las weapons and the monosight. This should afford you to have a plasmagun to your boss or champion. Then drop Hystar shield, hotshot pack and power knife from your gangers to afford a combi plasmagun/laspistol to your champ or leader. You could...

    You are paying 100 creds for one extra attack? Wouldn't it be more cost effective to give the model a ranged weapon in addition of the stick. I mean the beauty of versatility is that once you have done a Fight action, you are no longer in combat, and if you are not in base contact, you can still...

    It was briefly when Necromunda: Underhive came out in Nov 2017, that Bulcing Biceps users could ignore the unwieldy trait. But in Gang War IV in Aug 2018, this was changed into the current one-handed version. It's probably one of these balance thingies, as in N95 every gang's designated heavy...

    No, that's how it is in the rule book. So, basically you can use the heavy x-bow with one hand, but it's still unwieldy ranged weapon, the skill doesn't remove the trait, you'll still need a double action to shoot it. The description doesn't say the bulging biceps is for ccw only, but...

    N18 Advice on using smoke

    This is true. So, you might want to keep in mind, that in high elevation terrain, enemy gangers on an upper platform might be able to shoot over the smoke dome and hit your gangers taking cover behind it. Just one more factor to take into account when placing smokes.

    I think it's to bring the total number of gangers to 14. This way you have chances to field them all in scenarios where the starting crew is 10. About the list, just some small things. Leaders and champions can only select from their primaries for the starting skill, so your word-keeper can't...

    N18 Advice on using smoke

    Usually it's better to cover your own advance, as enemies most often have more models capable of decent shooting and pinning, then goliaths' have smokes to obscure them individually. Of course there are situations where smoking the opponent's heavy hitter is a better option, like the gun he...

    N18 Using Genestealer Gang rules to play Pit Slaves in N23?

    Looks good, but did the old pit slaves really have familiars or something equivalent?

    N18 What faction logo is this?

    This is on the first page of Cinderak Burning, and seems to be on the chests of the coming Orrus suits. It looks like a stylized necromuda logo. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the modern 'munda lore but is there any story behind it? Like, does it belong to a specific faction?

    N18 A few Ash Nomads questions

    Ok, now I got it. Yes, the FAQ has several rulings, where a gang member can keep the gear and still use it, even if it's unavailable to the new type. Thank you.

    N18 A few Ash Nomads questions

    Yes, but when promoted, an ash waste nomad warrior's type will change into a champion. The Wasteland snipers -rule only speaks about ash waste warriors treating long rifles as basic, nothing about the champion types. Does this mean ash waste nomad specialists don't treat long rifles as basic...

    N18 A few Ash Nomads questions

    About the promotion, the Necormunda FaQ says (under Book of Ruin) "Should a fighter change type, they lose the special rules of their old type, but gain the special rules of the new type."

    N18 Grapnel heavy Delaque list for a special multiplayer campaign

    Sounds like an interesting concept, but why no nacht-ghouls? If the gangs taking part in a battle are small to begin with, couple nacht-ghouls could easily force 1-2 enemy gangs to start making bottle checks. With group activation and Deceit you could do the dirty work, before opponents can stop...
