    Listened to this carefully then went out and ordered Delaque because the matrix really does mean that much to me

    House Delaque is clearly modeled after the strangers from Dark City, not from the Matrix. Otherwise great video!

      It's so rare someone else gets a Dark City reference so I just default to the low hanging fruit.

    Catching up with your Necromunda content - it’s great. I played the first edition way back in the 90s and am looking again. For the excellent reason that I already have the models for 40K, I’m looking at GSC for my first gang.

    Van Saar can be surprisingly effective in melee with smart use of the shock stave & grenades, and can gain cyber teknika when they advance, but their placement was spot on

    • @miniaturesrundown
      @miniaturesrundown  Рік тому +4

      The Arachni-Rig is also pretty decent in melee, and their energy shield giving a big armor bonus in melee is also very handy for keeping them alive if they get charged. But overall we agree, just a tad harder to play than the top 3!

      From my studies over the last month, The flail is a big one to help with WS, which is Van Saar's starting weakness. Then i might suggest a Greatsword as it also gets +1WS. In addition the cyberteknika can be geared to fight certain gangs. Like the disarm cyberteknika vs goliath chain axes. The cranial cybertechnika vs. Escher chems and Delacque psykers.
      The other idea i had was to use Van Saars house list for an Outcast gang which allows you to equip their weapons on select fighters only you will then have access to Combat and Ferocity skills with a better WS on your leader. I like to think of VS outcast gang like this as a STC looter gang. A group of Underhivers bent on raiding Van Saar tech, so much as to begin to look like them.

    Got my first game next month in my local clubs campaign. Went with Deleque as my friend and I shared the Hive War box. I maybe should have watched this video before we picked haha. That being said the models are so dam cool so I’m happy loosing every game!

      Even though we rated them low, the Rule of Cool is king - you'll have more fun playing the guys you like the look of than playing something just because it's good!

    Yesterday there was a WarCom article with a new faction called Mutants. They're based from Outcasts, and I'd love to try them out, just can't find any minis for them anywhere. Slowly but surely though, I am learning how to play the game, which is nice.

    • @miniaturesrundown
      @miniaturesrundown  Рік тому

      Yeah they look super interesting! Unless they come out with something directly you could always try some kit bashing. Human models and some green stuff as well! Glad you're enjoying the game!

    When I started with Necromunda, which was only a few years ago, I started with buying the hive war box set and the ash wastes box set and then just filled in the gaps with a gene stealer combat patrol, the missing rest of the gangs, a bunch of hired gun models, an ambot box and a box of hive scum. Pretty large financial investment but I said to hell with it because it’s an investment in years of fun. I still need the house of books and the book of outcasts but I have the book or ruin, judgement and peril.

    I have noticed that near every where (and personally) Van Saar seem to suffer cripling curse not hitting on 2+ hits.
    Like how can so many vansaar players just fail those rolls that cost the game to them (personal expiriences as well)

      CGC are a great example of one that only KIND of belongs in the last slot. They're really powerful, very straightforward - but their melee-only style is easily shut down unless you know all the clever tricks and tactics to get there.

    If my Orlock are going to be played in hive setting and in Ashwaste games is there a preferred load out that would work for both or is this a two different gang situation?

    • @miniaturesrundown
      @miniaturesrundown  9 місяців тому +2

      The main difference between Ash Wastes and Hive games is there is much more open space in the Wastes, and much less cover. For Orlocks, things like Wreckers become even more valuable for their speed while short range weapons like their cheaper combat shotguns lose some value. For Orlocks specifically, I don't think too much changes.

    • @miniaturesrundown
      @miniaturesrundown  6 місяців тому +2

      1. That's a VERY good box, if it's a decent price we recommend it!
      2. Corpse Grinders are pure melee. Faster and kill whatever they touch. Palanites are less "good" but still very playable!
