moths: Aug 25, 2004; I would also still appreciate some danger.

They weren't all bald in the original release.

Delaque gangers were available at a time when GSC figures weren't, so GSC players used them extensively.

Then 1d4chan enshrined what their older brothers did because that's what that do over there.

If you're talking about Delaque, yes they were.

Power axe leader has short cropped hair, but it's hard to see in that photo.

I have a theory that they were to be the "blade-looking black dudes gang" (to go along with the weird exploitation theme) until someone realized how racist that idea is.

I think you have a curious mental image of how racially aware Britain, and Nottingham in particular would have been circa 1995. Also Blade in 1995? That�s a little bit of a stretch.

Cant argue with the first point, but Blade's been around since the early 70's, whether or not the Delaque's were inspired by him is anyones guess.

Blade actually had a UK-only comic run well before his US solo series. So British nerds were probably more aware of him at the time than US nerds

Its this.

I was around for the first Necro and it wasn't even hinted at in anything put out. Someone has just decided that bald dudes = gsc.

I guess it would have been a bit early for movie Blade! And 90s trenchcoats were ubiquitous. Hair-having leader's hair looks a bit like Snipes' in Demolition Man, but that's clearly subjective.

Still, I'm not sure 1995 GW would have found "black people gang" inconceivable and insensitive to include in the line alongside "Klan looking lynch-gang" and "Indians on the warpath gang."

For Necromunda, is the rule still that you can never remove guns from models unless they die? There's been so many rule modifications through the gang war books I'm no longer sure.

I think it's been changed now, but could do with confirmation as I have another game tomorrow - and GW4 hasn't arrived yet!

I don't think it's changed.

quote:

Designer�s Note: Put away the Clippers
Note that once a fighter has been equipped with a weapon or Item of wargear, it cannot be removed from them unless they die or are retired. Gang members become attached to their weapons, often customising them or going so far as to give them names, and asking them to part with their beloved gear would be akin to asking them to remove an arm. On a more practical point, this means that players never have to snip the weapons off their miniatures!

You can place weapons into a stash and distribute them from there, but once a member "owns" a weapon, they own it for life.

My shop is currently running the Kill Team campaign kit GW put out. I'm having fun, but I'm constantly surprised how many players think moving forward on the first turn against Harlequins is a good idea.

As a guard player I'm hanging back, using my level 3 leader to give re-roll ones and abusing 'take it down' with Sir yes sir.

I'll do this with my plasma sniper and lv 3 demoman flamer also. If I get charged, I'm mobbing you and abusing 'a fix beyanets' instead of 'take it down'.

I'll still loose but I'm not making it easy for you.

Edit: also I'll keep everyone in one big blob.

I finally got around to reading the Kill Team errata and Designer's Notes.

So it seems that a Black Shield being unable to take a Heavy Thunder Hammer is "working as intended". I guess GW doesn't think someone would want to give their best combat option the coolest weapon?

Yeah, multiple loadouts is definitely legit. But I don't think any ganger worth their salt is going to give up their prized gat to some slag juve.

Yeah, my group is going with "once they have it, they have it", except for leaders, champions, specialists and juves.

IIRC, Old Necromunda had a �leadership challenge� mechanic in one of the random campaign event d66 tables where it would simulate a duel between the leader and a rising star who�s gotten �too big for his britches� (as the kids say these days), why not use some sort of similar (probably somewhat less lethal) contest for attempting this?

Latest Warhammer Community Orktober update says the new vehicles will be available for preorder "Very soon," which in the context of a Thursday update probably means it'll show up in full in the Next Week's Preorders article on Sunday, October 14th, which would put the preorder itself up Saturday, October 20th and the retail release Saturday, October 27th.

That's great. In Mordheim if a goblin levelled up and rolled, "lads got talent" bonus, instead of becoming a hero, he's murdered by the orc boss.
