i have been interested in necromnda for a while now. i allready have an enforcer gang, and i will be picking up a box of catachan guard for a house orlock gang to try and get a friend or 2 into it.

the one problem i am having is, what do i build the models to be equiped with?

for the enforcers i was thinking of running the patroll team with.

4x bolt guns and bolt pistols
2x combat shotguns and bolt pistols
1x heavy stubber
1x gernade launcher
1x shield and bolt pistol
1x shiled and power maul (this is the dog handler)
and leader with plasma pistol and either boltgun, or combat shot gun (he is built with boltgun)

it seams like a balanced team... but not having played, i know nothing... ive heard that taking the heavy stubber, gernade launcher, and then giving everyone a shield and bolt pistol is nasty.

as for Orlock i was thinking

2x heavies - heavy stubbers and lasguns (for when ammo roll is failed)
3x gangers - lasguns and laspistols
2x gangers - shotguns with man stopper rounds, laspistols
and a leader - lasgun, laspistol, and chainsword

it is a lot of shooting, most stuff can fire at 24 inches, and everyone has a backup weapon incase the main one jams.


any thoughts for either of these gangs?

Been a super long time since I played, but if I remember correctly for Enforcers... you cant go wrong with shotguns. Best AV in the game means you can get up close and let the special ammo rip them a new one.

Other then that your lists look ok for starting. Play a few games and see how they do. You can always restart if you dont like it.

For Necromunda, a lot of the choices of equipment depend heavily on what kind of terrain you´ll be using.

For example, your shooty orlock gang might do well in a mostly open field, but necromunda is meant for a built up claustrophobic battlefield, and in such a setting you´d need someone who can actually fight.

All of your guys have basic/heavy weapons, meaning that none of them will have more than one attack. So in pretty much any close combat, you´ll be toast.


Better a well thought out list than a one trick pony. More fun to play as well.

Just my thoughts, make of it what you will.

The enforcers look fine.

With the Orlocks, anyone with a lasgun does NOT need a backup laspistol. Id be tempted to run the leader with better CC, for those who get through (and if you have enough terrian, someone will) the firestorm. I would suggest either Chainsword, Laspistol and Dum-Dum Stub gun (for S4 CC attacks), or close shooting with Flamer, Manstopper Shotgun, Chainsword (droping the 3 laspistols will give you more than enough creds to buy the flamer).

As a personal prefernce, Id never run a gang without any CC (or shooting for that matter), as otherwise it gets too boring and untatical. However, its your gang and up to you
