Reyner Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Bolter is pretty similar yeah but the Heavy Stubber has fair bit more range and -1 AP to drop saves. It also looks pretty badass, give your leader a Heavy Stubber and a power sword and you get RAMBO! Oh my I have a slaughter priest and a heavy stubber in my bits box Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338039-the-drinking-hole-general-necromunda-banter-thread/page/20/#findComment-4939883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoic Raptor Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hopefully, but I'm waiting to be able to use the Heavy Bolter again. That was my favorite Goliath model and he won me many games.

Aqui Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I think I'll only be able to (just) afford a box of Escher for now. I had planned on doing a Jem and the Holograms themed gang, but I was beaten to it :lol: I then considered doing a gang based around some of the people in a Seventh Doctor story called "The Happiness Patrol", but they look too silly. A few members mentioned Dias de Los Muertos and I considered that, but I wanted something quite unique to the brilliant ideas so far... Then, I had it: :devil: Commander Dawnstar and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338039-the-drinking-hole-general-necromunda-banter-thread/page/20/#findComment-4941415 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Traitor Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Alreasy had two games, one with escher and one with orlocks, both agaist goliath, and the games is awesome! I think I'm going to make an Orlock gang, mixing their old imagery with the new one that has been leaked, but right now what weapons do you like most in your gang? I've found the regular boltgun to be awesome, though a bit pricey at 55 points, and so far I like the autogun better over the lasgun, but haven't tested enough. Also I think grenade launchers are the only special weapons worth taking, maybe flamers too, as templates are simply devastating in zone mortalis but still pretty good in sector mechanicus as usually you take groups around your champions and leaders. Also, now that hand flamers are available to anyone, what's your thought on them, I haven't tried them out yet so are they worth it at 50 credits?

Reyner Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 It's annoying how many pieces of art there are showing Eschers with Plasma Guns (one's named Miss Fire hehehe) but there's no option in Gang War to make plasma guns :( could use the armoury in the legacy download though.

Marshal Rohr Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I think Necromunda might be a good medium to push the Normcore 40k aesthetic someone had mentioned elsewhere as an alternative to the Blanchitsu trend common in Inq28. Could be a fun opportunity to do something a little different.

I think he means "Normal Core" as in the accepted norm for a certain style i.e. john Blanche's Dirty Victorian style as seen in INQ28 as mentioned by Marshall Rohr he's suggesting that Necromunda might be a nice launchpad for perhaps a different style of look (i'm kinda over the Dirty Blanchitsu style myself) a cleaner but still rugged look might be a breath of fresh air Mithril p.s. @ RandomMarine - that bulletstorm artwork is very cool, good find Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338039-the-drinking-hole-general-necromunda-banter-thread/page/20/#findComment-4942236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I think of the gangs so far those are my favourite. I've just ordered the boxed set and once I have the rules and lore I'll look into getting that town thread started. I may have a way to make alternative heads and gear for people, but still in the testing stage at the moment.

Could be a fun opportunity to do something a little different. Can you explain what you mean by "Normcore 40k"? (I googled, but it wasn't particularly helpful.)Well, that’s kind of what I’m hoping to start! Credit for the idea goes to Xisor, though. Blanchitsu is very much grounded in a surrealist style that is hard to replicate for many modelers without significant skill with green stuff and access to lots of bitz across multiple ranges and third parties. This would be more grounded in the possible. It doesn’t get rid of the religiousosity or steampunk aesthetic of the culture any more than you can disentangle the classical aesthetic from Greek and Roman cultures, but something like a feather adorning a hat wouldn’t be six feet long and a foot wide. The example of Karl Kopinski’s art was a good one. He’s my go to for realistic 40k styles. Edit: It would be the ‘low fantasy’ version of sci-fi.
