N18 Ash Waste Nomads campaign starting gang

[Skullcrusha]

Hello! My area is starting an Ash Waste Campaign (first time playing for all of us) and I went with Ash Waste Nomads. After some tinkering and getting some advice from people i've come up with this build. Note, it's standard Ash Waste (1000 credits + 400 credits in "vehicles" which has been ruled simply the guys themselves and not their equipment)

Ash Waste Nomad Chieftain = 205 pts Ash Cloak, Sky Mantle, Mesh Armor, Chain Lance, Blast pistol, Overseer
Ash Waste Nomad Watcher = 150 pts Ash Cloak, Sky Mantle, Mesh Armor, Long Rifle, Scavenged Stubgun, Fast Shot
Ash Waste Nomad Stormcaller = 175 pts Ash Cloak, Dustback Helamite, Mesh Armor, Scavenged stubgun, Stormcaller Staff, Fixer
Ash Waste Nomad Stormcaller = 175 pts Ash Cloak, Dustback Helamite, Mesh Armor, Scavenged stubgun, Stormcaller Staff, Fixer
Ash Waste Nomad Dust Rider = 140 pts Ash Cloak, Dustback Helamite, Chain Lance, Scavenged Stubgun
Ash Waste Nomad Dust Rider = 140 pts Ash Cloak, Dustback Helamite, Chain Lance, Scavenged Stubgun
Ash Waste Nomad Warrior (specialist) = 105 pts Ash Cloak, Sky Mantle, Mesh Armor, long rifle
Ash Waste Nomad Warrior = 105 pts Ash Cloak, Sky Mantle, Mesh Armor, long rifle
Ash Waste Nomad Warrior = 105 pts Ash Cloak, Sky Mantle, Mesh Armor, long rifle
Ash Waste Nomad Dust Runner = 50 pts Ash Cloak, Sky Mantle, Blast Rifle
Ash Waste Nomad Dust Runner = 50 pts Ash Cloak, Sky Mantle, Blast Rifle

I like most of the list but can I ask what is the purpose of a second Stormcaller?

From my experience you only need 1 and give him as little equipment as possible, as he will mostly sit in a corner and do his prayers

The ability to set the visibility to 18" on the first round can't be understated. It also gives you the ability to increase and decrease the visibility much faster and reliably because your opponent has to pin 2 guys in one activation if they want to stop you from reducing visibility at the start of the round

Correct the 2nd Stormcaller is for massive visibility control. As well, double fixer for more early game credits.

Double fixer is a great idea, it will give an insane advantage after the first game or two.

Honestly, I never thought about going the double stormcaller path, but it's actually a pretty good idea.
