N18 Get blinged! (Optional campaign rule)

[JawRippa]

I was looking at the old art for Necromunda and then it hit me: a lot of fighters are carrying excessive weapons and are in general overequipped. This is fun and cool looking, but is actually useless in-game, since you probably won't be able to use all weapons during the usual battle.

So what if we encouraged players to bling their fighters out, or at least reduce the gang bloat?

• Option A: Fighter's cost is only increased by a single most expensive weapon, armour and single most expensive wargear he has
• Option B: Fighter's cost does not include the third cheapest weapon that the fighter has (in case of unwieldy weapon it is the second cheapest weapon a fighter has).

Spoiler: Art

a lot of fighters are carrying excessive weapons and are in general overequipped.

So is the classic art suggesting that fighters chose to retain their weapons even though they’ve got clearly better ones…
