    N18 New Rules Incoming

    I'd guess the Orrus is mostly in there due to logistics of the plastic kits. The Orrus is a chunky bit of plastic, much more so than the other hunting rigs. I'd bet it turned out easier to have it off on its own sprue, and to fit the other 3 smaller rigs on another sprue together. Nothing to do...

    N18 MEEEEEEEEEAT!

    The first Sumpcon had a tweaked version of the scenario with only Nerves of Steel as a skill on the ravenous hordes, what I think was slightly cut down statblock, and slightly larger crew sizes as it was mostly played as 2 player. I think they got the balance about right: with me running Corpse...

    N18 New Rules Incoming

    Looking into this yesterday they'd capped the books at 1 ordered per customer, which I take as a sign that scalpers buying up tons of them were *part* of the reason for the immediate previous stock shortage. Only part though- stock allocation to stores was certainly still awful. Wonder of...

    N18 Thoughts on the new mutant gang?

    @spafe may have thoughts to offer as he converted a previously Wyrd led gang over to mutants mid campaign when the rules came out. Not sure he's had much table-time with them since the change though. Being a sane (*snort*), reasonable (*guffaw*) and fair (no comic expletive on that one, he's a...

    N18 Electricity related weapons?

    Good point: Arc Welders are maybe more of a very intense fire (I have no idea how welding works), but the Stormwelder (also seen on Goliath Prospects) is a full on lightning gun.

    N18 Electricity related weapons?

    There are a few on the Black Market if you're willing to risk extra attention from the Enforcers. Off the top of my head there's the Arc Rifle (Mechanicus gun that shoots electricity, Xenarc Death Arc (short/melee ranged xenos lighting projector), and Static Rounds (spcecial ammo for solid shot...

    N18 Corpse Grinder Chaos Cult Blood God Benefits

    Bad news I'm afraid- The Favour of the Gods is earned by successfully performing a Dark Ritual post battle action. Corpse Grinders can't perform a Dark Ritual action (the ritual is Helot Cult or Corrupted House Gang only usually), so can't ever earn the favour of the Blood God in a mechanical...

    N18 New Rules Incoming

    As you buy mutations like a primary skill, I'd assumed that there's the option as an advance to spend a little less XP for a random roll or a little more to choose what you want. Agreed that could be more clear though. It's also odd that RAW Mutant Champions still get leadership as a primary...

    N18 New Rules Incoming

    Eh, I like it. Gives an option to run many different kinds of mutant gangs, not just scavvies, and adds to the already significant flavour and options of Outcasts. Not every mutuation on the list is a winner for flavour or mechanics but plenty of them are, and they seem like a good starting...

    N18 Corpse Grinder Group Activation new 2023 Rules Question

    Exactly that- it's just a rules hole left by the core rules getting updated. Playing the leader as Group Activation (2) and champions as Group Activation (1) is the sensible way to do things until an FAQ or gang list update tells us otherwise. I can sort of see the narrative argument that...

    One of the FW miniature designers recently quit to do his own thing, and looks to be releasing some stuff in a style some people here might appreciate: https://linktr.ee/deadearthminiatures?fbclid=IwAR06LMqaYt2ZhU3tZkSU7WYaYRuBjyEy2Sd8j1wqhEOD_rAMULF1ywlkOsw "Dead Earth" models that look a lot...

    They're all in the Book of the Outlands I think? It's pretty much an expansion book for the Ash Wastes starter box.

    And nobody ever said the average Cawdor ganger is especially bright- "Wyrd powers? No, no, of course not! I've been blessed by the most holy Emperor to be able to call his cleansing fires using only the strength of my faith! If that wasn't it, surely I couldn't be holding this very real and...

    That's definitely a Tyranid, but I'm not convinced it's a Genestealer- they never usually have those sorts of head plates. Suppose it could be a redesign?

    N18 Narco Lords Sympathizer benefit reads badly, and RAW is insanely powerful

    It really has to be the "adds to equipment" option. Anything else is kind of nuts, and not consistent with the power of other Sympathiser boons. This keeps it as very useful, but not entirely over the top. Is it worded badly? Yes. Is it sort of inconsistent with the phrasing of other equipment...
