Great video, thank you

Solid advice on the stims, Crimson. Hey, where did you get those shelves from? They seem amazing for magnetising. My eyes keep drifting to them in your vids :)

[@crimson_oracle]

the shelves are Ikea Kvissle, I have a LOT of them lol

[@robsmith4500]

@crimson_oracle thank you. Lol, yeah I imagine you have a trillion gangs to contain.

Nice video! As a new player, playing Escher, have a couple of questions: - From House of Blades. "When an Escher gang visits the Trading Post during the post-battle sequence, they can buy a Chem-alchemy Elixir in the Purchase Equipment step. Each time a chem is bought, regardless of the number of effects it includes, it represents a single dose or application. A dose or application lasts for the duration of a single battle (unless otherwise noted) then it is used up and removed from the gang’s stash." You chose the elixir type and up to 3 effects, you pay and you get 1 dose. But can I buy more than 1 elixir every time I go to the trading post? - Does the Clan Chymist discount apply to every elixir you buy? - " A fighter can start a battle under the effects of any stimm they are equipped with if they choose, or can administer that stimm during a battle to themselves or a friendly fighter in base contact by performing an Administer Dose (Simple) action during their activation." Im guessing you can use that simple action while you are seriously injured (besides crawling)?

[@crimson_oracle]

You can buy more than one elixir, yep, and the discount applies to every one you buy. The Chymist is basically mandatory for anyone who wants to get into chems! We don't have official clarification from GW about the Administer Dose (Simple) action, but there's no restriction listed on the action for a seriously injured fighter, and frankly some of the chems really only make sense if it can be done while injured so, I tend to favor them being usable while seriously injured, but obviously down to the arbitrator's call without any clear guidance

I wanted to get started with Escher simply because I love the chem system and fell in love with the idea of flame throwers spewing poison gases and poison tipped arrows and the like, so this video was very helpful! Even if it's not the strongest system I think I want to create a gang that makes heavy use of chems, even if my group doesn't agree to the suggestion of making them limited ammo instead of single use. Thanks!

How do you recomend to run chems in a Venator Gang?. Using Escher legacy give acces to chems right?. Can a Hunter use a chem in other members?, or the use of chems affect only to the user?

[@crimson_oracle]

So, this is one of those things that isn’t explicitly clarified by the game developers, I would say House legacy lets you access chems (and the other house specific stuff for other house legacies) as I think it’s pretty pricey and that makes it more worth it. I would say it’s restricted to the fighter’s inventory, but for example they could use a stim on someone else during the game

[@MickeyMulligan]

I'd encourage you to test out leaden more. The amount of times its been a game changer for me is stupid. Battlefield control is always useful.

[@crimson_oracle]

Yeah, it’s just a very short term form of board control, if it had a chance to stick around like smoke or grav I’d definitely be more likely to take it

Hail all

DINOSAURS!

I want a barbie jeep inspired custom vehicle.

[@crimson_oracle]

I love it

[@olivesherwood]

because Chems count as Wargear, I'm pretty sure the Khimerix cant actually take any stimms. Please let me know if im wrong so I can start roiding out my creeper xeno dog!

[@crimson_oracle]

Yup, brutes can’t take wargear, would be fun if they could though!
