GSC in Necromunda

[tomb]

When I get my next tourni out the way (next weekend) I intend to have a look into Necromunda. I hear it's good.

What are your thoughts and does anyone know if we can play GSC allready or do we have to wait for an update?

Cheers!

Necromunda? GSC? Ummm...are you sure you're not thinking of Shadow War: Armageddon? I mean, I think GSC would technically fit in Necromunda, but I don't believe they were ever a playable faction, and I'm almost positive they aren't at the moment.

They aren't currently but both them and chaos cultists are confirmed as getting rules as some point.

Thanks, I guess we wait for Gdubs.

Hey Gdubs, if your reading this hurry up and release the GSC rules for Necro. Thanks!

People on yaktribe are saying the rules for chaos cults are going to be coming in WD with the release of gang war 2 supposedly.

This would help a lot of people get into Necromunda. 

Now a Forgeworld GSC special character would be very cool.

My news was apparently slightly off, it looks like both chaos and GS cultists are coming in a WD soon after Gang War 2 comes out.

We're going to be needed in the Underhive... Apparently we missed a Squat.

Shortstacks are back on the menu boys!

Next months White Dwarf has the rules for using GSC in Necromunda. Abberants, Acolytes, and Neophytes only but all weapons in those kits are rumoured to be useable. Can't wait.

Wooooot!

Perfect timing, I've heard great things about Necromunda. Time to get involved.

Does anyone know what a sensible guess would be at what models and how many to paint up?

Cheers!

I think you usually play with between 4-9 models at a time and usually want 2 to 3 teams worth of guys in a campaign. They level up as you play though so, buying and building AS you play seems to be the most sensible thing to do.

Yep I'm just trying to get a sense of the gear we can use - from a white dwarf review Mining Lasers are definitely in so hoping for Seismic cannons and rock saws too!

So your leader is an 'Adept' which is basically a lower ranking Primus but in the article they are using the Primus model so hopefully bone swords, toxin injectors etc. Your champions are Acolytes (2 in a starting gang - and can carry up to 4 weapons) and you can also recruit some number of Aberrants though 90 credits each. Bear in mind gangers (regular neophytes) must equal half or more of your gang, but mixing up their weapons will be great fun.

Can't wait!
