Necromunda...

[bansh]

Is anyone here playing necromunda?
Now there are more options weve started and have found a bit of an issue...

The esher gang seems severly hamstrung by the chem thrower, it feels like a weaker flamer due to its wounding style...
We now just give everyone a combi bolter, which while doing 2 damage and -1ap, the 24in range versus a heavy stubber is hard to get around..

Has anyone else found this or can you give us some advice to help out a ganger

We are trying very hard to get this up and running at our flgs but having 1/5 of the gangs derping makes it tough, as does the snails pace of gang releases...i bought orlock as i know im going to have to wait months/year for the redemption/ratskins/skavies to be released...

I'm planning on getting into it with the release of GSC gangs. my buddy who was very excited about Necromunda when it released hasn't been successful in getting others to join, mainly because they don't like the gangs available. It's a bit better now than it was a few months ago, but I'm unsure if it will have staying power. GW only releasing 2 gangs at the start was a major misstep IMO can killed any release momentum possibility.

It seems like a terrible waste as well, the system itself is fun and fluid, if they just quick released say another 4 gangs on top of the current 5 playable, i could see it taking off

Regarding necromunda, is this edition written to be more supportive of one off games, or is it still focused on league-play like old necro/new shadow war?

I really wanted to enjoy shadow war armegeddon but the rules and my available play time rendered it a waste of effort. playing one game every 2 months when the leagues ended after 5-6 weeks meant always only having starter lists, never expanding that list, never having skills available, never using specialists, etc etc. Total waste of time for me, personally.

If you play the 2d game out of the box, it is perfect for 1 off games, using tha advanced rules is more for campaign play
