Hey gang(ers).
I used to play the original Necromunda with my brother and his friends when I was a teenager, so about 20-isch years ago (Wow, I feel old now)
I only played as Orlocks, but my brother played both Ratskin and later the gang that lived outside the Hive or something, the ones with the respirators, which I actually had wanted to play to be honest.
For some reason I been drawn to start playing a miniature game again and of course I thought of Necromunda first (also played 40k)
But this time I want to play a gang more to heart of what I'm about, but there is not really a house I like currently, so I'm probably going for a custom gang.
I know there are rules for both Hired Guns and Venators but both options don't fit as much as I would like (or I don't understand them fully)
In that case, like I said, my gang would be more to heart with what I'm passionate about.
So basically I want a gang of seriously cyberized cyborgs and transhumans/posthumans.
I don't think Van Saar really fit that wish as I want more of crazy cyborg junkies or post/transhumans that live and breath machine and flesh mixed together.
I like the monstrous absurdity of Ortruum 8-8, more of a "thing" than a man and also devoid of gender/sex, so I would like that character or miniature in my gang in one way or another. Also looked at Belladonna, as a Hired Gun or a custom character, but as my idea evolved I actually don't think she's cyberized/cyborg enough.
Like I said, been away from GW Games for a long time so didn't know that Adeptus Mechanicus existed until some days ago.From what I understand it, they are the most like cyborgs in 40k universe that have miniatures currently available?
I found the Sicarian Infiltrators more fitting for what I'm after, cyborgs with almost no flesh remaining, but still human.
So I was thinking about incorporating a couple of those miniatures with my gang and maybe customize them a bit with weapons more fitting for Necromunda.
When I read about Venators I was a bit disappointed that they specifically don't have any juves.
I think for me, it would be more fun with juves on my gang too, also for a cyborg gang they fit quite good also I would argue, juves could simply be much less augmented humans that just joined my gang and it's cyborg philosophie/culture, but as they prove themself and gain experience, they become less and less flesh and more machine.
I also read that Hired Guns don't gain XP and can't be customized and if I count the Ortruum 8-8 as a Hired Gun that would feel a bit odd and disappointing, especially if I would choice them/it as the leader or a champion..
So what are your thoughts?
I will probably mostly be playing with my partner and my brother so house rules would not be a problem as long as they are fair, what are my options?
