So I figured I'd run a little exercise to compare the cost of gangs at startup, to answer the question "what is a cheap gang" and "what is an expensive gang" - I don't see that ever being answered anywhere else before so thought a post here would do it. Trying to get an apples for apples...

Hi Yaks I picked up a cheap, poorly labelled job lot on ebay which I'm just dividing up and selling, and I found these handsome chaps in the pack. Any idea what these models are and what system they're from? They're destined for Ebay, unless they'd be useful to some Yak?

Just saw the trailer below This is being developed by the people who made Pathfinder: Kingmaker, which having recently played can say is an excellent c-rpg. Having seen what they did there, I'm optimistic about what they can do with Rogue Trader...

In most warbands you have a juve-type hero, who starts with low stats (dreg, youngblood, nightrunner etc) For warbands which can start with the maximum 6 heroes (Skaven for example) is it better to start with all 6, or run less than that in the hope of getting a Lads got Talent roll on a...

Yearning for simpler times, and confounded by the mobile library Necromunda has become, I recently picked up a copy of the Mordheim rulebook. My regular games buddy and I are about to play our first game this weekend and, with assuming all goes well and we both enjoy it, I've been looking at...

So, I've got my hands on a copy of the book, and am currently working my way through it, and noted that there are some tangential chats on the forum about some of the books contents, but no centralised discussion space about the book itself. So I figured I'd create one so people can comment on...

So, reading through the Delaque book, one of the things that struck me is how cheap Delaque champions and gangers are compared to other gangs. Presumably this is to give you spare cash to play around with some of the new, fancy toys, but that got me thinking, what if you didn't do that and...

So, now all the house of books are out, who do we think came off best, and which gangs do we think are bottom of the pile? This thread is for chatting the relative strengths and weaknesses of the changes made in the "House of...." series of books, so by all means talk about how X change nerfed...

So I've finally got round to building some if the big boys, or rather, I've built one and now I'm waiting for some Ork Nob arms to arrive from ebay so I can build some more. In the meantime I've been thinking about how to build this gang, as the combination of very expensive models, and the...

So I've finally picked up House of Chains - we have a Goliath gang but haven't really been tempted by any of the new models/rules - however my other half recently picked up a slave ogryn gang and we wanted the rules for them.. I know a lots been posted about the gene-smithing rules, and the...

So, over the past few days an idea has been coming together in my head, and I figured thr best place to post to talk about it was here. In essence, in 40k fluff, during the second Armageddon War, Commissar Yarrick made use of the underhive gangers of Hades hive in his battles against the Orks...

My partner and I recently played through a mini-munda campaign from the Goonhammer article of the same name to scratch our 'munda itch and had a blast, we're now looking to run another campaign in a similar format with some friends who are newer to 'munda as its a nice simple format. I'll be...

Thought I would share a little nostalgia for the real oldies on the site, through a process of slow accrual on Ebay I've managed to get myself a 10 man squad of classic, RTB01 space marines. Building and painting these guys purely for nostalgia as I remember having an original set of these...

So I've been thinking about building my Death Maidens at long last, and I've been reading around to see how people are building theirs - it doesn't seem theres much by way of discussion on the interwebs. They come with needle pistols and venom claws on the sprue, but their primary Finesse...

So theres two key changes in the "house of" books that got me thinking, first is that Juves get the "Gang Fighter" rule, and second is the lifting of the "no more than two champions at start up" rule. This got me thinking, how many champions "could" you squeeze into an Escher starting gang and...

I've (finally) got round to building the kits that came in our Dark Uprising box set, I'm taking the Palanites and have a pretty clear view of what my starting squad will look like, and my partners taking the Corpse Grinders, I'm building the list as they're more of the rock up and play sort...

Simple question that came up in a recent game - if you engage someone in melee with a versatile weapon outside of base to base contact, and you hit them, is the target pinned? The rules would seem to imply not but that seems to make versatile weapons pretty lousy as a failure to wound means your...

Quick question, Goonhammer just dropped their Necromunday article about Genestealer Cults, in which they note the Flamer isnt discounted and that the Web Gun is cheaper and better. However the cost of a flamer for GSC on Yaktribe is 100 creds, with the Web Gun costing a fair bit more.. is the...

Hi all Finally got my hands on a Dark Uprising box set and I'm looking to plan out a gang for an uprising campaign - I'll be the iron fist of the law in this campaign with the other gangs being Delaque, Genestealer Cult and the Corpse Grinders I've bashed together a starting gang and was...

Hi all, long time lurked here looking for a little advice on a GSC starter gang. Link is here. https://yaktribe.games/underhive/gang/double_aberrant.55111/ My groups looking to run its first campaign so this gang is with that in mind. My plan is, the two acolytes infiltrate and cause...
