I think those 9 could serve you well. At 14 he must be running 6 or more Juves which aren't much of a threat until they get closer. If those Heavies have good positions and the dice gods are fair then you could really hit hard.

Right now, we haven't even started. I'm still working on terrain, Greg is working on his gang, etc.
Oddly, we both picked Van Saar. When we're playing? WHENEVER.

Geez, Dave, it took you THIS LONG to figure that out?

Necromunda is splashing up all over Dakka since September rolled in. Am I missing something?
I remember when I first picked my gang I was told Van Saar were by a fair margin the best gang due to the Tech skills. Is there any truth to that? I went with them anyway becuase it fitted my concept but I'd like to think that wasn't true, especially not using NCE.
And yes, pictures of your terrain please! You should have loads of inspiration from the competition, I hope there is lots of card and sprue being used.
There's several people running Necro, there's Inqusimunda going, and a general push toward people wanting:
- Smaller games that play faster than the 2+ hours of 6th edition 40K - More narrative in their games
- More fluff in their games
And probably a bit of backlash against GW dropping specialist games. People are 'rediscovering' Necromunda, and the site Yakromunda is a tremendous resource.
Additionally, there are games like Killzone and In The Emperor's Name that fulfill the same 'grim future' niche.

I really fancied getting the kids into all this, but the battles are just too long. I thought maybe Necro would be the answer. Sold my set about 6 years ago though, "ah well I will go buy on Ebay".....OMG the price people are asking for original box sets. £180. So I am up for suggestions. Only need the rule book. Or an alternative, will look up Killzone.
I am sure I can knock together a gaming table, I might be able to put together some terrain!!!!!!
You can get everything you need on Yakromunda, I'm sure you have minis, dice, and figs. Oh I guess you need the sustained fire die....

If you use the "Community Edition", you only need:
d6's
Scatter Die
Artillery Die (From warhammer fantasy)
Standard 40K templates.

Folks, sorry for my absence, my new job is really cranking down my free time, until I get settled in. A large workload was dumped on me. This is not a bad thing, just...very very busy.

Congrats to all the winners in the contest, and thanks again Brian for hosting it! Soccer season and Cub Scouts have kicked into full gear, so I haven't been on here in a week or so. I'm very proud of my best recycler award though! Now to get some work done on the 'Fire at Will' competition...

Very interested to see what it is that requires such a sizeable cutting device.

Dr.H, it is useful for taking large sheets of the free foam I get, into manageable chunks. I can also shave 2" foam into 1" foam, and a few other interesting tricks.
The main advantage is that it is the foam cutter equivalent of a scroll-saw or band saw. The wire is very stiff, VERY HOT, and allows you to rapidly cut down foam, do intricate cuts, etc.

Oh yeah, I knew that. I've seen little hand-held ones. I was expecting scale mountains or something...
Useful none-the-less and free foam is the best kind of foam.
Just make sure you're not using the scooter at the same time.
