I would have kept at least one Neotek. It's the only entry that is really fast. Even if you use only as scout, it's worth it.
N18 Help with building first Van Saar list
- Thread starter cvdasf
- Start date
I always start with at least one, two if I can manage it. They start off as fast-moving lasgunners and objective grabbers and end up getting Hand Flamers.
Hi I'm new to Necromunda (but I play a lot of other tabletop games since 2010).
I think this is maybe the right place for my question if not please tell me.
I've read a lot of things about the list building and wanted to ask you on your opinion on this Van Saar list I made.
Maybe I'll take the Mesh Armour from the Leader and switch the Laspistol on the second Champion for a second Plasmapistol or give the Neotek Mesh Armour... feel free to share your thoughts.
I don't want to play very competetive so three Plasmaguns seem a bit boring and I like the idea of the Meltergun Hipshooter and the Akimbo Dude.
Sorry for my englisch it's not my first language.

It's my humble opinion that the ratio price/efficacity make the Mesh armor the best one in the game. It's also very flexible in terms of sculpture creativity. For example Eldar wear some of the best looking mesh armor. You can use some for Esher or really any gang that fit the body proportion.
you can just start a topic for your own gangHi I'm new to Necromunda (but I play a lot of other tabletop games since 2010).

-hipshooting combines well with a template weapon or a plasmagun/pistols with +2 accuracy at close range
-considering your taking a lot of combiweapons a 'reload' skill can be worthwhile?
-one of the weaknesses of Van Saar is their limited movement... how do you deal with this?
a dedicated 'fast' prospect, just hipshooting?, the overseer skill, a melee archeotek to defend your gunline?
ps hereby 2 (theoretical) builds that may help:
- https://www.mundamanager.com/gang/63b7c5a5-fa2c-485d-bdbf-86ec4030fcbb (shortrange build, similar to your intent)
- https://www.mundamanager.com/gang/cdc219b1-9d69-402a-96f8-e00d014c9b5d (longrange firing line)
PPS the archaotec cybernetica build above goes well with the spider rig & with heavy weapons
