Genestealers are my fav factions from a lore perspective. But I think GW failed to capture how dark they are. Thanks for this!

[@Steve_Keen]

I'm kind of hoping the next big box set they do for Necromunda is focused on Hive Secundus and has some new Genestealer Cult gangers and all new rules on par with the House of.. books.

[@Gobolino7]

It seems your wish is answered!

[@nraketh]

Dude, you were psychic. Hit up the casino!

[@tenthdeviation]

Perfect timing, was eying up the combat patrol box for these guys as my second gang.

[@garyjenson8262]

Yeah I'm a big fan of house ruling to get more variety on the table. We allow gs champions to have 2 wounds. We also allow ogryns to be point costed as ambots. Currently im trying to get the delaque thrall to get whatever weapons and gear they would come with from their previous house (added to the cost). One nerf: no leader champion or specialists from other gangs, just gangers. Imagine a Goliath thrall with a heavy rock saw. Expensive but brutal.

Pretty sure the gunfighter alpha with 3 pistols was FAQ'd to confirm that yes, you could fire all 3 in one round. Use it all the time, its not super powerful (i think heavy weapon and familiar is the way to go for an alpha) but irs a lot of fun

[@frankkluge6297]

Very cool Video once again. I really want your book, because I really love Aberrants without taking mandatory neophyts - but the Book of Ruin says „no“ 😅

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Do it anyway!

[@cymrodave]

Great video cheers mate.

[@dylancutting4089]

Sorry to say that although aberrants count as gangers there is a separate rule that says you must have as many neos as acos and abberants and the leader so RAW its a no can do. Love to see the 3 pistol leader, it was cleared up in the FAQ 3 pistols are all good.

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Not in my rulebook 😃 it's fair game in our group

[@dylancutting4089]

@@wellywoodwargaming tbf I agree it's a dumb rule. I live a abberant with a heavy rock saw. Super expensive but damn they hit.

I'm going off necrodamus

[@alexlalligator4376]

Love the new intro

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Thank you! Its my brother's music too 😃

[@MalakhimJWQ1]

Hail all... at last!!!

[@Pleksilasi]

Firstly, what a bitching 'stash 👍🏻. Secondly, ape-rrant together stronk is the funniest list I've ever seen 🤣🤣

[@simonmiller5351]

the errata covers the gunfighter alpha page 22

[@ashforbes4666]

Newby question, as I am just getting in to the hobby.

[@wellywoodwargaming]

What's the question?

[@ChitosVids]

Are there links to these gang lists?

[@hairybob7402]

Kia’ora. Regarding the third build, whilst fluffy and awesome, I don’t think it is ‘legal’. If we’ve got the same version of Book of Ruin, check out Page 40 second bullet point. • The total number of Neophyte Hybrids in the gang must always be equal to, or higher than, the total number of other fighters (Leader, Hybrid Acolytes and Aberrants) in the gang, not counting Hangers-on.

[@hairybob7402]

It’s very confusing to have it squirrelled away in the text and is different to every other gang which defines the ratio of gang hierarchy and gang fighter. Would love to play with/against that list though. Thanks.

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Yeah its not the book of ruin I'm looking at mate. It's Necrodamus which is far more recent. It's legal here so we'll run with it

[@hairybob7402]

@@wellywoodwargaming 👍🏻👍🏻 as would I because it’s a cool list.

[@Steve_Keen]

@@wellywoodwargaming is there anywhere in an actual Necromunda book or errata that updated their gang composition rules? I'm not really familiar with Necrodamas but I thought it included community house rules. I agree that Abberants should be counted as a ganger, but not sure if the official rules state that anywhere.

[@wellywoodwargaming]

@@Steve_Keen not actually sure to be honest but our gaming group uses necrodamus as law so regardless it's cool here 😎

[@raymondwright5996]

Cheap and easy to get into… well you just described my ex-wife 😧

[@wellywoodwargaming]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ashforbes4666]

Do I need to buy the Book of Ruin to play Genestealer Cults in Necromunda

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Oh sorry it's on another comment. Erm yes you do if you want to own a nice shiny book. Otherwise all the rules are available on the internet if you so desire
