N18 First N18 campaign list - Slave Ogryn

[kemponoid]

Hey! After playing N18 for the first time with friend decided i want to build a gang for a possible future campaign. Used to play pit fighters ~15 years ago. From the available gangs ogryns looked the most cool in my eye and theres some pit fighter flavor.

So here is the list.

I have only played 1 game so might have some rules wrong.(Las cutter + 2x Axe legal?) I was also thinking about dropping a lobo and moving 2 axes to add hazard+2x Axe to Lobos.
Credits plan; undersuits(&stimms?) for underbosses->Lobo gear/add Lobo->Ambot & Underboss with heavy rock saw->???->Ogryn with Storm-welder+spudjack.

Depending on who you're likely to play id leave the Lobos be and buy them gear later, bodies are important for Ogryns so starting with 4 lobos is strong.

Las-cutter and 2 axes is, to my mind, perfectly legit.. gives you that second melee weapon when the las cutter inevitably fails its ammo check.

Though I would perhaps consider dropping the spare axes, and the incendiary grenades to double up on arc emitters for your champion, augmetics can only be picked up when you hire a model, everything else can be bought later so if you want him to have an extra attack without having to split dice with a lesser weapon, you need to pay for it up front

There is a lot of over-equipping going on there.

Get rid of the grenades. Ogryns don't have good enough BS to make them worthwhile.

And all those axes. I don't understand. +1 strength and disarm is not that fantastic.

2 arc welders feel overkill, i understand 2x arc would be nice later on but i think 1 will prob get the kill most of the time.

Hmm i though the charges would be a must, but i prob overvalue blaze after 1 game against cawdor. The axes are mostly backup for if las cutter goes out of ammo but i guess in the start you could go unarmed.

I could drop the incendiary charge and 3 axes to get 1 more Lobo-Slave.

And after the extra info on the future outlaws gang im now contemplating them also. Prob should make both. : D

An extra Lobo is a good call, 7 ogryns on the table, even largely unarmed is a concern for anyone fighting you


I wouldn't sweat not being able to hit with incendiary charges, its a 5" pie plate, you just have to land it close enough.
