[@russellpizel3750]

Love the simple paint scheme

[@digitalwastrel]

Thank you!

[@Matt-md5yt]

glad you did this one my friend

[@digitalwastrel]

They're one of my favourites!

[@arktophylax4559]

I love your "Introduction to" Video Series. There are no better vids for the factions out there, afaik. Looking for forward to the next to come!

[@digitalwastrel]

Glad you like them! I'll get to all of them in time, for sure!

[@lostsignal7961]

Are the photos your models? Im looking into making a gsc killteam and id love to use a similar color scheme. They look great!

[@digitalwastrel]

Yes they are! Thank you!

[@lostsignal7961]

@@digitalwastrel you wouldn't happen to have a photo album containing all of these pictures would you? I'm also curious how you achieved that pale skin if you have a recipe.

[@digitalwastrel]

I have some photos on my insta if you go back far enough (a few years at least). I'm planning to do a proper showcase for my GSC gang and maybe a quick painting guide too in the future. Fortunately this was one case where I kept notes on the paints used! Hooray! This is what I wrote down for the skin recipe: paint skin VMC sky grey wash reikland fleshshade highlight palid wych flesh final highlight sky grey (especially smooth areas such as bald heads) i think there was some watered down purple washes around the faces after that too Hope that helps!

Great vid, completely agree with youre views

Thank you!

Amazing content ! I'm just unsure about aberants. I've just reoppened my Book of Ruin and there's written that you can buy 1 aberant. Im pretty confused because i've bought the biosanctic battleforce to have everything for a gsc gang and some ash waste vehicles. But i think i have too much aberants. In fact i guess the abominant i just enough?

[@monolithichashies7477]

Was the extra ability of the Alpha erata'd? I can't seem to find what you're talking about.

[@Le_Petomane]

What janky gang creation rules about recruiting Neophytes with special weapons were you referring to? I haven't read that anywhere? Can you point to where it says that or what book?

[@Le_Petomane]

Or are you talking about being armed with anything in the stash?

[@digitalwastrel]

The Book of Ruin says something like "During a campaign additional Neophytes may be armed with special weapons as they are added"

[@austinthomas6828]

Where does it say that all gangers can be specialists when purchased after gang creation? I can't find it in the gang composition and during the campaign sections

[@digitalwastrel]

Helot Cultist description says that additional cultists purchased during a campaign can take special weapons. Not specifically a Specialist in terms of how they spend XP though, sorry!

[@austinthomas6828]

@Digital Wastrel no problem, I misread the rules and just assumed they functioned like the house gangs. Thanks for the clarification!

[@digitalwastrel]

@@austinthomas6828 Clear wording has never been a strong point of Necromunda rules haha

[@austinthomas6828]

@Digital Wastrel that's a core mechanic of necromunda though. It's the arguing over rules! 😂

[@LoomyGUK]

@@digitalwastrel Why do you beleive this applies to GSC?

[@DavosTheDegen]

I am a bit confused, in your 1 box wysiwyg list you list both neophyte and acolyte hybrids. I thought they are two different boxes

[@digitalwastrel]

That's right! The Neophyte box contains a heavy weapons guy (or two maybe?) with 3 arms, and I'm using that guy as a champion. You can also run champions with only 2 arms. So you can make all the options in my list just using the Neophytes box. Acolyte/Neophyte is mostly just a 40k unit and box descriptor. The gang uses Generations to determine rules, so you have more flexibility when it comes to miniatures.

[@DavosTheDegen]

@@digitalwastrel thanks for the clarification!

[@cillamccarthy6987]

Where do I find the rules for mining lasers? I've looked all through the book of ruin and I might be being blind but I can't find it...

[@digitalwastrel]

Book of Ruin is a bit poor in terms of summaries, apparently! GW's website has the Trading Post pdf download though, which has stats for most weapons, Mining Lasers included.

[@cillamccarthy6987]

@@digitalwastrel cheers will check it out

[@digitalwastrel]

@@cillamccarthy6987 no problem!

[@EmanLeerton]

I thought Neophyte Hybrids had to make up at least 50% of your units (So you can't just stack Aberrants) Might be wrong though

[@digitalwastrel]

You are correct! I missed that, thank you

[@jacobcdenton8524]

Thanks for the video, looking to join my first necromunda campaign later this year and considering GSC as I already have the 40K army. Thinking of running the Sanctus model as an acolyte with long las, familiar and evade for a really hard to hit sniper character!

[@digitalwastrel]

GSC are really one of the best GW ranges right? Such good miniatures! You'll have a nice looking gang for sure.

[@equals-kl9hm]

Where did you get this information from?

[@digitalwastrel]

The GSC gang lists is in the Book of Ruin

[@equals-kl9hm]

​@@digitalwastrel Thank you.

[@digitalwastrel]

No problem!
