The kill team made of marines from different chapters would probably be fun to paint but I wouldn't want them for anything except for the board game part. Generally the standalone board games are meh and people buy them to get the 40k minis. YMMV. Deathwatch is always made from marines from other chapters, but they play with Deathwatch rules in 40k. Nah I think that's all you need, I mean maybe tokens or whatever and a mini tape measure.

If you just want the cult side of things, I'm sure you can probably still find them on ebay.

The rules are online here if you're interested in reading them (or don't want to buy the white dwarf mag) https://spikeybits.com/2018/02/genestealer-cults-gang-for-necromunda-rules-revealed.html

Overkill probably isn't the right choice for necromunda unless you absolutely have to have the aberrants or can sell the deathwatch side to make it worth it. It's all fixed poses with a duplicate of each, so it's good for filling in a GSC army but not for getting different weapons and poses. If you were going to spend that much I would just get the genestealer cults battleforce on ebay, it's a good discount on those kits when bought together.

You just add the genestealer side of overkill later to boost numbers.

Overkill is, I believe, the only way to get a hybrid with grenade launcher, which you definitely want for your GSC gang as it’s hands down the best weapon in the game currently. Also you get cool character minis. And you might even be able to use the Overkill board sections for special Necro scenarios - I can’t remember but they look like they would work. But you would also probably want the Neophyte Hybrids box as well as that comes with shotguns and pistols and various special weapons etc.

There's a grenade launcher in the neophyte hybrid box. I'm pretty sure the only models exclusive to Overkill are the aberrants.

I should probably accept that I'm never gonna paint up my deathwatch overkill box. If anyone wants mine NOS (as in box has been unwrapped but all contents and sprues are untouched) for 100 bucks plus shipping in US, lemme know. That's 40% off retail.

Can anyone recommend any good Newcromunda blogs / sites? I love following 'Tale of 4 Warlords' style blogs and campaign reports, and would love to see something with the new game. I just won a copy + Gang War on eBay, and I'm super pumped to get back into it after all these years. Need something to tide me over until I can hopefully start playing in a few months.

There have been a number of campaign report threads on Yaktribe over the years. You can go and look through the archives there. My group has run a few of them, and is planning to start another when we get our proper campaign off the ground (likely to wait until the Van Saar plastics come out so that we have more house factions released than not).

I'll take a look, I've seen some of the stuff there. Is there anything with the new version? Rhaegar posted:Speaking of tale of four warlords what do you recommend outside of Necromunda? There aren't a ton, sadly.. Off the top of my head, here is one that sort of meets the bill. Basically a blog where a few guys build up their forces over time, small scale at first, and fight multiple battles. I enjoyed their style. Nothing fancy, but fun and the first thing I thought of. You may need to go back into their archives to see what I am talking about. xhorikwar.blogspot.com/

Nice details on the weapons but IMO it is lazy design to ape the arm poses so completely. The main thing Goliaths needed was more ways to pose the minis and this doesn’t help.

Some kind, patient person out there has put together a comprehensive 2017 Necromunda Underhive Rules Transcript that reorganizes and includes all base and expansion rules for the game. It looks like a very promising project that incorporates the FAQs and WD articles. Two of my favorite things: it's actually organized and it's on a white background.

Got back from Adepticon on Monday, and I am loving exhausted. With all the free stuff, my suitcase was 48.5 lbs, just 1.5 lbs shy of the weight limit - I was sweating it until I saw those numbers flash on the scale. I managed to take Best Painted in the Warmaster tourney with my 30 day Vampire Counts! There were only ten players, but it was still nice to see that those 30 days were well spent. That being said, the army/my dice performed miserably - the first game, I couldn't get an order off and all but one unit was stuck in the backfield for two turns.

Tbh ten people for Warmaster is nine more than I would have guessed, lol. But you did a great job painting and should be proud.

Weirdly, we usually get more for Warmaster than Epic, which I find bizarre. It's not usually 10 though - more often than not it's around 6.

Yeah it's odd to me that you'd get that many for a dead game that simulates a dead game. Epic at least still simulates a world that is still around. Ten dudes is about what we used to get when I started playing Necromunda at AdeptiCon. I'm sure it's larger now.

I don't think the Old World being dead has anything to do with it - the game is still good, and as long as the player base is there, you'll still have people playing the game. I'm just surprised that many showed up to Schaumburg (though three were from my local group in CT and three came in a group from Michigan.) As for NM, yeah, it's still a draw. It fills to capacity every year, and this year was no exception, even with the rules changes. In fact, the TO, Jeremy, ran additional games through the weekend and was able to get an assistant to run games of the Zone Mortalis version concurrently. I want to say there were four games of each over the weekend, though it may have been a high as six.

I've used each set a bunch, and although there are some pretty good cards in the Escher and Goliath packs, they're by no means necessary. Escher has some nasty stuff in theirs, but the Goliath's set from the main box is already pretty good. Orlock pack was kind of a let down to be honest.
