I haven't got my GW3 book yet. A friend tells me there's point lists for the earlier gangs in it. Have the points changed again? I only just made and printed cards for the Escher and Goliath gangs I have. I'd hate having to re-calculate, reprint etc before I even get to use them.

I can check.

And "I got you fam" if need be.

EDIT:

There are some additions of new weapons in there. Dude, you're gonna want that book.

They've updated the Escher/Goliath/Orlock weapon lists to include the FW conversion pack stuff, right? So heavy bolters and hand flamers and meltaguns and whatnot are now available right from the start?\

Do Escher get a special rule if you buy all three weapon packs and use the 11 (or however many it is) hand flamers in a single gang?

Yes (Heavy Bolters are for Goliath and Orlock, not for Escher though*).

Well, everyone can take pistols and they're in the lists of all three** houses.

Edit:

*Van Saar don't have them either.
**Four.

Everything has changed: Rarity values (Bio-booster for example), point costs (Goliath Axe for example), weapon traits (Blaze, Webbed for example).

Skills aren't listed in GW3 so they have not changed.

If you're going with 11 hand flamers, I suggest genestealer cults cause they only pay 50.

Not that I've seen but Mad Robot, Victoria's Miniatures and Minimax all have extensive lines of 28mm small arms that should fill most gaps.

Also Anvil Industries.

The Guys from Mad Robot did some own Van Saar and so the heads for Gangers and Juves...without these big silly data wires in the back...if i would buy replacement heads...it would be from Mad Robot :-)

The wires are all seperate bits and easy to not use if you don’t want. I actually kind of like them better in person than I thought I would.

So does Gang War 3 actually fix the rules about Armor or not?

What was wrong with the armour rules?

Like how you buy it? Or was that explained in GW2? I missedthatone out asim not that bothered about Orlocks.

Pay careful attention to what 'Las' you use. There's a small difference between the Lasrifle and Las-Carbine's barrel shroud. Just in case you end up getting them mixed up and run into 'that guy'.

I would except the instructions tell me nothing about what I'm gluing together or any options but what they show me. Seems like I need GW3 just to know what the weapons are.

If you look at the image in the post below, you can see the different designs at the bottom.

Thanks for the heads up. At this point I'll be happy I'm buying this stuff for the RPG because the difference between the lasgun and lascarbine is almost negligible. A fin is the difference?

On the model, the Lascarbine is a bit 'fatter', but not much. You could also ignore that and use gun components with no stocks and say those are your carbines.

It’s on the trade post with prices and rarity as of GW3, if that’s what you’re looking for? There’s also a two styles of Carapace now.

Previous to GW3, some fighters came with armour, some didn't and you couldn't buy it later, IIRC. It might not have been what people wanted, but I don't think it was unclear.

Anyone with no armor can buy their house common armor, like GSC Leader can buy hazard suit, or Chaos Cult character can buy flak armor, and Juve after the Weapon pack.

They just couldn't get a better one like Mesh or carapace until GW 3.

Neat. Van Saar hazard suit, Heavy Carapace, and a personal shield = 1+ save vs Attacks from the front.
Also about as many creds as a heavy weapon, but there you go.

Do you have no front arc when pinned, or a 360degree front arc?

I can't see where it is specific about being pinned and your arc, but I do know when you're prone you have no arc at all.

Van Saar, Orlocks, and Escher can all buy both Flak and Mesh armor from their 'house armory'- which means 'at creation'.

Goliaths can buy only Furnace plate at their 'house armory'.

From the trading post, which is a campaign thing that you can only hit after the first game- you can get other types of armor.

I believe it says anything combined with the Van Saar undersuit can only go to a maximum of 2+. I would have to look again later.

A question to those who have the van Saar boxed set:



What is the part in the middle of that sprue?

A random doodad they added in when they saw there was extra unused space. One possible use given was a biobooster.

It said a 'lantern' somewhere, but it could be anything you need.

I was gonna use it as Spook Juice.

You can drill a hole in the base, and use it as a light. It works on scenery as well....

Maybe the part that sticks in the hole in the middle to give it a handle?

That's what I thought to begin with, but then you would need 2 of them.

Andy Hoare said it was a flask on the twitch stream.

Maybe Van Saar or oher gangs simply would get away with using any lasgun/laspistol model as any las weapon (carbine/sub-carbine/suppression/long/pistol/gun).

Quite a few las weapons out now, plentiful of plentiful!
