N18 New to the game and going to be playing uprising with a friend.

[Sakata_Gintoki]

Hi all,

I'm completly new to the game and me and a friend split a box of uprising with him getting the corpse grinder cults and me the planites.

I'm unsure as to what to do for my first list since I am up against such a strong melee army and as my friend lives quite a way from me I don't have access to the rulebook unless I ask him something specific.

I have made my tentative list so far and I was wondering if people had any thoughts on it so far? Thanks in advance !
PS: sorry if this thread is in the wrong place, It is my first time posting here.


So far I have..

Handsome Jack: my Palanite captain stock with a concussion carbine and the fast shot trait - 170 credits
Handsome Jim: my subjugator seargent with a grenade launcher and dum dum rounds for his stock pistol with threat response as his skill - 165 creds
Handsome Jeff: another subjugator seargent with a grenade launcher and dum dum rounds for his stock pistol also with threat response- 165 creds
Handsome James: a palanite patrolmen with a sniper rifle - 105 creds
Handsome John: another palanite patrolmen with a shotgun - 130 creds
Handsome Joe: palanite patrolmen nombre tres with an enforcer boltgun - 120 creds
And finally Handsome Jiles: yet another patrolmen with an enforcer boltgun - 120 creds

altogether I have 25 creds spare. Do you think this list will do alright against corpse grinder cults? obviously it's not going to be 100% competative game but I would at least like to have a fighting chance!
Cheers,
Sakata

Its decent, you need templates vs Corpse Grinders as they have no way to mitigate pinning, blast templates also bypass the special rules on their masks as you can target the ground beside the model rather than the model itself, which will keep them from charging you

Looks like a decent list for general play, but corpse grinders are a tough opponent for anyone.

I’d look at changing out the Threat Response skill for something else as you don’t want to be in combat with corpse grinders under any circumstances. Got Your Six is a great anti charge skill and Overwatch is good for slowing down their advance up the board. Shooting skills are also good but lose some usefulness with grenade launchers.

Specifically against corpse grinders I would also look at switching the long rifle for a concussion carbine. I know it’s shorter range but with blast 3” and seismic it is really good for slowing down corpse grinders and with seismic and Knockback it is good for knocking them off building or down holes.
