N18 Delaque Gang Options

We have played that it adds to all the range, but the first range measure is the most important.
Btw when you cast it , I think you roll the will power and then you measure and pick a valid target, first we played it like shotting pick target, measure, roll, but I think that was wrong.

The choir rule certainly reads as though it adds to all ranges.

I have always read it as needing the willpower test to be successfully rolled before measuring anything or declaring targets. If the psychic power needs a hit roll or other subsequent test then that would occur after you have declared the target and measured the distance.

Would that work for the range on that teleport too?

Yes

Is a leader packing Overseer using it to push around a Piscean Spektor viable in a starting gang instead of taking a 2nd champion?

Technically you can’t start a gang with hangers-on (which brutes are a sub category of) so you will have a poor first game, but it would be a viable tactic.

The big Piscean Spektors are monsters in every way.

You could probably still sneak a champion of some description in anyway as your leader will be cheap and you can load up on cheap gangers.

Edit: here’s a quick knock up list to demonstrate what you can still get with a piscean Spektor in a starting gang (and it still looks decent).

Interesting, consider overwatch instead of faceless

Done a bit of retooling. No psykers. Two scary melee threats that will drop on the table turn to cause merry hell and a webber and a couple of smoke grenades to keep the more squishy block of 5 covered until the champs can get in.

So the test game with the gang went well. I went into Eschers and thanks to being able to drop the Nach-Ghuls behind the enemy I was able to quickly wipe out their Leader whilst my main body of spods held the centre and constantly failed to open objective chests.

The 2 Nacht-Ghuls is probably overkill for a startting campaign gang but I note that they seem to come in a little cheaper than a good gun toting equivalent so maybe they will stick around.

The web gun put in a lot of work and I think if I go for Delaque for the campaign I might try and build around that.
