Necromunda general

What I dont understand is that FW plan is to release weapon kits, then update the house weapon lists. The question is, if they update the house weapon lists with what has been previewed in the upgrade kits, what the fuck is the point of an updated trading post? If at the start of every gang you can buy plasma guns, melta guns, heavy stubbers, and flamers, what is the incentive to buy shit from a trading post? Wheres the gang growth? What happened to all that bullshit about gang identity? Even house can manufacture plas, melta?

So I'd guess the house lists won't change but the trading post will be expanded much further. The resin FW kits are so you can model that Escher with a plasma gun from the trading post or Goliath who buys himself an Autogun.

Say goodbye to that Escher leader with 2 power swords and step aside. They just got vaped.

Phoneposters are not normal human beings.

I changed the filenames because my browser refuses to actually use the sort options when I try to select an image to upload. Easier to name them something memorable and type it in.

Probably most house armories will have a couple weapons for cheaper. Escher can already buy discount laspistols, I wouldn't be surprised if Van Saar get plasma guns for cheaper.

You know, doing the math, Maximal power on a plasma pistol/gun is only worth it if it's a T3 target with a 5+ or better save at long range. In any other situation the low power is superior.

Also, they should have made the pistol's low power S4 rapid fire 1.

best place to get the new pdfs? can't see them in the 40k trove

>Escher can already buy discount laspistols

Escher do not get discount on laspitol, they get discount on Lasgun.

The only reason you will ever get lastpistol is because they give you a millions laspistol in the sprue, instead of the gun you actually want, like a right hand Autopistol/Plasma pistol

For some reason they make all the stuff you want left-hand only. On the Goliath sprue they only provide left-handed stub guns so you have to make melee gangers stub gun/spud jacker instead of brute cleaver/stub gun or power hammer/stub gun. There's also no fighting knife hand which is complete bullshit.

You don't want stub gun on your ganger trust me. Their value fell off pretty quickly after the first game and after that you are stuck with a shitty gun for the rest of the campaign. Autopistol is the way.

You'll have to check the archives. For whatever reason the person who created the last general put them in a weird fileshare rather than on mega.

More like stuck with a shitty pistol until you get to the trading post and replace it.

The rules say you can't take guns away from gangers. It doesn't say anything about giving them more guns.

>and replace it

You have max 3 weapon, you you have 1 slot occupy by a shitty gun, which I'd rather not. Another Brute Cleaver or backup Autogun is better.

I think every single person is agreed that is the single shittiest rule in the new edition and everybody outside of official GW stores is going to ignore it.

How is it possible to fuck up the rule releases this bad? It's a shame because the models have been great.

If I recall, Andy Hoare did an AMA on Reddit shortly after the game came out. Apparently GW is currently in late stage TSR mode and only allows designers to playtest in off-hours and doesn't let them organize playtests with focus groups.

Correction. It was James Hewitt that did the AMA.

Any kind scanbros out there willing to put up GW2 for us poorfags?

>gets FREE scans
>Bitches

Neck yourself.

This. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea, its retarded.
"Hey Ironjaw, I bought you a new plasma pistol"
"Oh no thanks, I bought this stub pistol 6 years ago, its fine"

Ain't no one following that rule

Who needs play testing? What're you expecting this to actually be a game? This a nostalgia cash grab, and geedubs isn't even pretending.

The fuck kind of underhive gang can afford melta weaponry?

What the fuck is the song they use for the trailers? Shit's jammin' but I can't find it anywhere.

that is pretty much in keeping with the nature of the weapon. if the other team has got a melta gun, you are going to make damn sure you murder the dudette carrying it from a safe distance.

agreed. weapons can be recirculated inside the gang at will. as long as everyone is still using weapons from their permitted lists, it simply makes nil sense to force them to stick with their original lasgun when a bolter becomes available.

how dare you? how DARE you call me inhumane!

Thank you for putting these up! You can definitely scan with higher res, but I really appreciate your going out and doing this

drop the name, fag.

Sometimes they use small nukes, couple meltas shouldn't be a problem.

So I'm new. Can you use Orlocks in Underhive?
Also why don't they have access to shooting? Ferocity and Savant? Fuck off GW.

Not necessarily the place for this question, but are there any ways in which New Necromunda is superior to Old Necromunda?

Old Necromunda was already a pretty good system.

The turn sequence is nice in the new one. Activating per unit is better than I-go-you-go.
Underhive is nice for a quick game because you dont need to worry about setting up a table, I can just bring the box to a friends place and play.

pros
- alternate model activation
- action based system
- differences between the House gangs
- slightly simpler approach to rules

cons
- everything else

GSC rules when

fair enough. so use the new rules on table and the old rules off.

The difference between the old gangs was mostly skills but scavvies, deemers, ratskins were still a lot different so that user is kinda wrong.

Plus only 3 gangs out da fuck can you say that.
Anyway.

I dunno how the new 3d rules work but old necromunda had stuff about jumping onto dudes from higher ledges and things. New box set is just 2d so that's poopy loopy scoopy if you need another book for a game that isn't poo.

christ you're a fucking imbecile just kill yourself already

So after orlocka what's the next gang in plastic? I keep hearing Van Saar. Also as a guy getting into this what are some major things that need to be added/reworked.

Do you like underhive or 3d? Plus what are your views on campaign vs pick-ups?

I wouldn't bother getting into it to be honest until the next gang, FAQ and Gang War 3 are out. The rules are a cluster fuck right now.

In my opinion Gang War (3d) is garbage and Underhive (2d) is where it's at. That isn't because 2d > 3d it's just because the rules for 3d are a hot steaming pile of garbage right now.

The two problems are that A: They only playtested 2d. and B: They assumed a lot of things were "understood" and didn't bother writing them down. (Determining LoS for blast templates in 3d, for instance.)

Necromunda Almanac when?

After Chaos, xeno scum.

In a year maybe? Not soon I'm afraid
I heard that we will get GSC rules in the next WD

I can almost understand removing opposed checks for WS in the main game where you need to roll it very often against a variety of foes and that'd slow down the game.

But why the fuck do you need to have X+ WS in a game with maybe 25 miniatures on the table at any given time?

>we will get GSC rules in the next WD
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Get dragged to my niece's third birthday.
>Brother's friend just received his GlowForge kickstarter, so he now has a 45W laser cutter he's willing to let friends use.

I guess this solves my terrain shortage. Now I just need to learn how to use inkstation.

Arbites when? I want to play as the good guys not criminal scum.

You shouldn't have to be dragged to see your niece on her birthday user, family is important.

Yes, yes user. We all think you're very mature and well adjusted. Well done.

I wasn't really dragged, it's just that it started at 11 when I thought it started at 1, so it kind of threw a ringer in my plans for the day.

Mostly I was annoyed because the game store didn't open until noon, which nixed my plans of showing the Orlocks to my brother (Who played Orlocks back in the day.)

Arbites? Never. Enforces probably next year.

So I got a look at Gang War 2 while I was at the store. (Didn't buy because I'm hoping for a scan.) Here's some info that hasn't been passed on before.

Impale: If the target is sucessfully wounded and no armor save is made, check if there is another model within 1" of a line originating from the target directly away from the attacker. If the model is within long range of the weapon they're struck for S-1. As long as the weapon succeeds to wound, the attack continues diminishing in strength each time.

Drag: Roll a d6, if higher than target's Strength they're moved d3" in a straight line towards the attacker. (Same rules regarding obstacles as knockback.) If the weapon has Impale, only the last target hit is dragged.

Dramatis Personae: All worthless.

Hanger's On: You basically get one for every 5 rep.
Ammo Jacks: Reroll failed ammo tests on a natural roll of 1 to 3 depending on how many you have.
Docs: Gives you a free "Escort to Doc's Office" action after each game at no credit cost, but best result at Doc's is counted as second best result.
Dome Runners: When you gain territory, add 1 to the roll to see if you gain a special territory. You can choose which die is the tens and which is the ones for the d66 roll. (Only 20 credits, but you can only have one.)

Chef(Forget the name.) At the Spend Experience step of the game, roll a d6 for each fighter in recovery. On a (5 or 6?) clear the in recovery box.

Just got my book. None of the named bounty hunters have a single unique thing about them. They are all cookie cutter page fillers. 7 fucking page fillers. Lol. The mighty leap skill got cleared up. Thats all. Nothing to write home about.

Is it the March WD that has the bounty hunter gang rules in it? Or the February one? Didnt grab a copy but im interesred to see where and how they buy thier wargear.

mind taking pics of the bounty hunter profiles/hangers on?

i wish people would stop making this mistake

March for bounty hunters.

Sure thing poorfag. Some of thier stat may better than the run of the mill, but none of them have anything unique.

Holy shit thats bad, round two!

...

...

>he could just leave them in his downloads app like any normal human being
There is no reaction image I posses that conveys my level of disgust

I'd buy a dark mechanicus book in seconds and I normally don't care for chaos at all.

...

...

When your famous 200 credit + BH prefer to use the shittiest weapons that they can find. How this these asshole survive for so long.

Also Eyros Slagmist literally have a life support suit on him that cover his head, but the system didn't have a respirator on it.

...

...

well there you go boys, you happy now i've given you the scans? Big fuckin deal eh? The named bounty hunters are just premade, generic ass bounty hunters. Although, if the Yar model looks like the art at all, he will be awesome.

Thanks, im the guy that originally asked...is it sad i'll probably buy the book anyway?

Also holy fuck the bounty hunters are expensive to hire.

Your welcome. And no, not at all. The art is gorgeous, and the lore is great, it has a high production value and quality to it. Its just that the actual content is sparse, poorly edited, and some nigh useless (an armoury no one can access).

Is it possible to get scans of the new terrain rules for badzone delta?

How did the mighty leap skill get cleared up? What does it do now?

I bought the thing in a store and holy shit gang war 2 is trash. They didn't even update the trading post and bounty hunters are expensive and since they don't even have access to useful weapons since they buy from the trading post.

The only parts of the book that are actually of any use are scum, hangers on and the orlock gang. It really is not worth $30 and it's easily the single shittiest gaming supplement I've ever bought from GW.

>gang war 2 is so shit nobody can even be bothered to scan it
lol dead on arrival

There really isnt enough content to scan, the bounty hunter profiles I provided, the weapons armoury and the orlock gang list is pretty much everything worth noting in the book.

It's enforcers you tardlet, it's been confirmed, Palatine Enforcers.

some people would like it anyway - also potato photos aren't scans

How about orlock skills?

>Dramatis Personae: All worthless.
wow, such info, very useful

Fuck off namefag, no one wants you here.

are you 5 years old?

its bizzare its like games workshop wants to stop this game from being good. too bad for them i can house rule anything

you misread, I was agreeing with the replied post, it was never arbites as arbites are the 40k equivalent of the feds.

They said on stream that they've made a PDF for the Sump Dogs for use in Underhive. Should be going up tomorrow, I'd expect.

Reading through it, and this shit is insane. From the Kirby era, but still.

I like the part where management asked that Eldar D-weapons have strength D across the board, and then followed up with barring them from increasing points costs.

How's this for a starting Orlock gang? I have no idea what i'm doing so went for more bodies + guns rather than extra gear. Figured I better give the two heavy stubber guys a backup weapon though:

Leader 160
Cost: 120
Servo Claw: 30
Auto Pistol: 10

Champion 235
Cost: 95
Heavy Stubber: 130
Auto Pistol: 10

Champion 235
Cost: 95
Heavy Stubber: 130
Auto Pistol :10

Ganger 70
Cost: 55
Autogun: 15

Ganger 70
Cost: 55
Autogun: 15

Ganger 115
Cost: 55
Combat Shotgun: 60

Ganger 115
Cost: 55
Combat Shotgun: 60

does Gangwar 2 have any errata or a faq? I think I may wait and order it with gangwar 3 if not, I would like to know what the fear grenades do,
