Hi there, So this is my first Necro list, if I missed anything let me know it ! Leader - powersword/plasma pistol(gives more XP to nearby friends) 215 Champion - combi bolter-needle-rifle/stiletto knife (can make a double move/sprint) 195 Champion - stubgun/stiletto sword/chem-synth (can fight twice) 155 Ganger - chem thrower/chem-synth 200 Ganger - lasgun 55 Ganger - lasgun 55 Ganger - autogun 65 Juve - laspistol/stiletto knife 50 I went for stiletto knife for my juves because she can't shoot with BS5+ and the Toxin rule helps her bypass herS2, so I guess it is the best and cheapest way to play juves ? My gangers have long range guns to use their better BS4+. (on the Escher New weapons list, some weapons aren't given rules, like the hand flamer, are they in GW2 ?)

I'd swap the autogun onto your leader. Make better use of the higher rate of fire. Also unless i missed something, toxin only affects the injury roll. You still have to wound as normal. As you might see in some of tge ogher threads on thus board, noone is quite sure why juves are worthwhike yet. Also you actually need to have at least as many gangers as leader juves and champions, so i dont think uour list is legal under the base fang war rules.

GW released a FAQ with the correction:
"Page 79 – Toxin
The first line should read:
“Instead of making a Wound roll for a toxin attack,”"
This makes toxin a lot better and makes Juves giant killers

Unless you expect to be playing principally on the ZM tiles, I’d lose the Chem-Thrower to save credits for some Plasma Guns.

I’m building some of mine with respirators just for the hell of it; I’ll just buy them after the first game.
I think yours is a fun list, and full of characteristically Escher-y choices. If we were talking in terms of optimisation, then I think you’d be advised either to ditch some of your more expensive equipment (and buy it at the trading post after the first game) in order to get one or two more gangers at the campaign’s opening, or to be ready to buy those extra bodies in the first post-game.

I have been told that chem synths are, in fact, rarely used: needing an action to be activated.
My ganger wouldn't be able to move, use it and fight or move, use it and shoot, etc.
What are you experience with chem synth ? Automatically Appended Next Post: Lord Fishface wrote:I’m building some of mine with respirators just for the hell of it; I’ll just buy them after the first game.

I think I'll do the same !

Yes chem synths require an action to use, which means there use in combat is limited as they can't be used when charging or for a reaction attack. However they may be of use for a defensively equipped character (i.e. 2x swords +step aside), who may be able to survive long enough to use the chem synth in their next turn.
They're more useful when combined with needle weapons, although you won't be able to aim or move while using it. However for that crucial shot it can make a difference.
Chem synths will also be more useful in the latter stages of a campaign when there are more high toughness characters against which Toxin will be less effective.
In short chem synths are a nice thing to have in certain circumstances but are far from a priority purchase.

Ok thanks, I guess I can remove them from the list for the moment, and put a las projector and the shotgun, that would be brutal
