Shadow War Armageddon- what Kill Team are you planning?

[The Voivod]

I suppose you could always field them as guard.

And the rules are suppoosed to be pretty much the same, so mayme you could do a bit of improvising.

[Daeothar]

The way I understand it, the original gangs can simply be used as is. However: the campaign rules are so simplified, that the experience may vary, as the advancement works so different.

I'm planning to recreate the original Necromunda campaign system for SWA, with slightly different flavors for each faction.

So the campaigns for gangs, guard, orks etc can work 1 on 1. But necrons or nids for example would require a rework of the Outlanders campaign to make sense. And then there are loads of factions inbetween those two extremes.

But I'm pretty sure it can be pulled off. And that way, the original gangs can be integrated seamlessly, which is something I'd like too...

[Wachaza]

I wonder if there will ever be rules for using the original Necromunda gangs.

If it sells weĺl I wouldn't be surprised to see Forgeworld do Shadow War:Necromunda.

Gang rules could de made esily enough by tweaking the guard or marine scout lists.

[livanbard]

Using I scout force backed by some true scale conversions I had made prior. After that maybe custom guard using anvil or victoria models.

[eilif]

Space Marine scout lists would be a bit overpowered for gangs, but if playability is the priority over fluff, that could work.

The Genestealer cult list (possibly IG also) looks better suited for representing Necromunda gangs.  I'd be curious to hear if anyone has used the original Necromunda gangs as-is and what their experiences were.  I have a feeling that they'd be outmatched pretty badly against the other factions, but it'd be good to know.

By the same token, I rather like having Necromunda being it's own thing.  Part of the charm of Necromunda is that it's made up of more "human" characters who are weaker and a bit more ordinary than the aliens and supermen that inhabit the rest of the 40k universe.

I have got my Chaos and Ork kill teams ready:






I'm also planning Inquisition and maybe scouts and IG. I guess I'm just indecisive.

[The Voivod]

Those are some nice old-skool mini's.
Really loving those Orks.

Here is my start of a Kill-team:

[Pictors Studio]

With Harlequins that is pretty much the finish of your kill team too. 

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Those are two nice kill teams.

My first kill team is here:

[The Voivod]

Cool. I'll be sure to do some guard too, to double as my veterans  in my regular army.
I'll wait untill my book arrives though.

Skaven... I'm mean really, why wouldn't there be mutant rat men in the bowels of a giant industrial complex?   



These are actually leftovers from WAY back in the before times when I actually tried making a Skaven gang for the original Necromunda. 

[Pictors Studio]

Here is my Kill Team, just need a hybrid metamorph and to get one of my many Genestealers painted to match and we should be in good shape with all the options. 



The boss man. 



The Hybrid Acolyte



Two of the lads. 




He doesn't really fit, but such a cool model.  Maybe we will use him as a purestrain, or just make him one of the options for special operatives. 

 

The whole crew. 

[Romark]

Love those genestealer cult minis,very menacing 

[Pictors Studio]

I'm ultimately going to use them for a campaign where we have 3 players a side, Imperial vs. Genestealers.  We do three games of SW:A so that everyone plays everyone on the other side. 

Each game will have an impact on the last game of the day which will be a 40K game with all of the models from the SW games plus more. 

The winners of the first round will get to pick one of several scenarios to play.

The second round winners will get to pick which side of the board they start on.

The third round winners will get to choose whether they go first or second in the game. 

Each side will also get 1000 pts for their army plus 100 pts for each Promethium cache that they got in the SW:A games.

Pictors Studio-

I had absolutely no interest in the Genestealer Cult figs until you posted those pics. Now I've ordered two boxes of them. I hope you're happy with yourself.
