@55:00 On Tek-hunters - The Expert in their field rule ends with "You may only have 2 of each sub-type" So no spamming.
I wish I was in a position in life to get into this game, it seems to marry the best aspects of tabletop RPGs and wargaming.
It scratches severe hobby itches, tactics, rpg, scratch building/kitbash
Are you not cause of money? I thought necromunda was a cheaper way to get into 40k
@@jameshill8493 Money, time and company, all of the above.
@@jameshill8493 It is. Roughly $100 and you can get more than enough to run most campaigns.
As far as the rules go, however... yo-ho, all hands, hoist the colors high...
@@jameshill8493cheaper, not cheap. One basic ganger box, plus the special custom dice you can only get from GW, plus the core rulebook, plus your gang rules adds up to a good $200 bucks.
Then you also need the paint, brushes and crafting supplies to actually make and paint the models.
If you're playing with someone established who can hook you up with the core book, dice, champaign book, who has terrain to play on ect, you can get that to $100 total, but on the flip side, if you're the one trying to get others in, it's closer to $300-400
Admittedly, a lot of the costs sre front loaded, a lot of the costs can also be shared and spread out over time and even the total cost for the person getting everything is still less than a single 2000 point 40k army, without any books, paint, supplies terrain ect. And the follow up costs can also be pretty ghastly if you're trying to be competitive.
Basically, for no good reason, GW decided to make Necromunda significantly more expensive than it had to be, especially at the beginning, when it's hardest to convince someone to try it out
As Tek Hunter, You can hire them on creation, because you can upgrade only 1 Tek to specialist, is no limit on specialist on creation, and they are not Tek (in the article when they are announced this was confirm). You pay 10 credit more, have 1 Mv more (Tek have 4 Ws too), but lose specialist access to house equipment for they special equipment. So no plasma weapons from house list (but can get it from trading post). And you can have to 8 of them, 2 each type.
Thanks for the deep dive! I love the new book, and think the campaign looks very fun! Still building the minis tho!!
Tek Hunters are simply an additional fighter type for Van Saar. There nothing stopping you taking multiple Tek Hunters. Their 'Gang Fighter (Specialist)' type means that they count towards the basic ganger numbers but gain Advances as a Specialist. Notably they're a bit more pricey and you'll often want their additional gear which may force them into a supporting role (eg medic) and make them even more costly.
Guys, the Mancatcher has a statline in boxed book, which is: S:S, AP-1, D1 Entangle, Mele, and Flamer S4, AP-1, D1 and rest is correct ;)
Don't worry we found it eventually!
This book seems absolutely awesome. I can't wait to snatch it up when I have the funds. Thanks for covering it guys 🙏😃
The review I’ve been waiting for.
As I call it, The Book of the Underlands.
And akshually, in the HIve Secundus book the fluff mentions that the Imperial Fists wanted to just exterminatus the western hemisphere with virus bombs, but the Inquisition overruled them.
i love the little pearls of wisdom you guys drop great vid! How would you spec hard into Rad. would love an example. great way to add flavor to VS gang
Best book since the House books
just to point out what ya glanced over
tek hunters a van saar gang may never have more than 2 of each sub type
Tek-hunters are a bit problematic outside of secundus. There isn't a magic bullet to fix them, but I suggest removing their access to Tech and having a pre campaign chat about not overly abusing the unrestricted trade post access. Rules as written, they can quickly get to bs2+ boltguns with plentiful and 4+ armour without taking a champion slot, nor being too taxing on gang rating.
That’s a lot of board games.
Our set is under renovation, we had to borrow the one from our friends over at Board Game Rundown!
Is the 2nd Downtime really different from the first downtime (apart from the Ferryman Teams leaving your gang)? The book doesn't have the effects of downtime written explicitly in the 2nd Downtime description (p70), but that might be just not repeating itself. But the words used are exactly the same (re-equip, fix up wounded fighters and repair and upgrade vehicles...) Essentially, the effects of Downtime (p69) effect both Downtime. That was the way I first read it.
I agree, they're not different
new to Necromunda, can I use my corpse grinders for this?
Yep. You could even have malstrain-infected corpse grinders.
What is the largest amount of players you guys have ever had in a necromunda campaign?
Ten is the most we've had - it's a lot to keep track of, but it wasn't too many!
A shame you needed hivescum and couldnt just have monsters in your malstrain gang. the small beachballs should have been the hivescum filler and genestealer muscle
Hail all
Squat after?
custom rig
technically its a custom vehicle so yes crew outside of desolation could take it
So lets sum it up.
The guys who are trying to get some loot from the Hive Secundus on creation get gang worth of 1000 creds, 3 dudes that worth of 400 creds or more (if prebuilt) and a freaking RidgeHauler. (And fair men are jot counted for your points power, so potentially you are getting more tactic cards then ur opponent). Also they have some special abilities that may allow you to basically resurrect someone on death after each battle.
Ok, sounds nice, I wonder what the Malstrain tainted gangs can do.
Oh... So, I am getting... Uh, 1400 creds, 400 of which will be used only for 2/3 of the campaign... No special benefits... Hey, look, I have a Malstrain Genestealer brute... that is got killed by "neutral" Malstrain Genestealer...
GW fucked up here. One side obviously SUCKS
does anyone know if with sentry gun, if there is a controlling fighter, do they get the XP or will that fighter just never get xp
Why do i need to hire a furry-man?
😂
To get you into the Uwunderhive.
@@miniaturesrundown HAH!!!!
Can you do squats next please?
Listen - I'm a massive fan, but you have got to learn how to pronounce temporal. It's not a Japanese dish. 😂
Wait was I saying it wrong? Temp-oral? Is it Temp-eral? Tem-Purr-al? Look it's a good day when I pronounce ANYTHING correctly...
4 minutes and no likes? Fallin off...
Well we had a good run 🥲
You guys rock. Keep it going ❤
