Hi, looking to join a campaign, but want to use my old models. Is there a gang best suited to this, i.e. doesn't have much new stuff compared tot he old models?

What gang(s) do you have? Venator (Bounty Hunters) should work for most of them.

Should have said we have specifically warned off venators, enforcers and corpse grinders.

I have all the old models.

Welcome back, gamer

Your old models will work fine. Pick whichever gang you like the most. Get them on the table and have fun, PLAYER!

Well that doesn't seem to be completely true... For example Goliath seem to have lots of new weapons that the old models don't have. So far it seems Orlocks and Van Sars most closely match the old range?

Most of the House Gangs have most of the old options available in the House Equipment List, but not everything is there for every Gang - Van Saar can only start with a Lasgun while Orlocks can't start with Lasguns, for example. Once the campaign is running you can get the 'missing' weapons from the Trading Post.

Helot Chaos Cults & Genestealer Cults both have options very much like the old gangs, but each has added stuff.

It is completely true. If you have a bunch of old Goliath minis, all of them can be used. Any old weapon like stub gun, stub cannon, chainsword, power axe, grenades what ever can be used in new Necromunda.

What do you want exactly? Use old minis with old weapons? Use old minis with new weapons? If you have old Goliath minis, nothing stops you from using them. You're not required to use new weaponry.

There is no (good) reason why a new orlock gang can't start with lasguns. It's just a silly rule that doesn't make much sense. Game runs much better ignoring useless rules. Whenevere you start a new gang, you can pretty much buy any common weapon you want. Nothing will break or fall appart.

Why would you do that?

Views of the guys running the league and what they think about them and balance.

Surely if you're worried about balance, you'd ban Van Saar first!

I started a gang with my old metal Eshers. Only issue is the bolter on the leader isnt on the house list so you gotta not have that for the first battle
