[Necromunda] L.T. Shineysides and his dirty dozen

[Captain Slow]

okay, after being talked into getting a necromunda gang up and running for a campaign that May OR May not be started at my local GW on a tuesday evening. the staff just have to convince the manager to let it happen, as the tuesday night is suppost to be a core games night, as its a GW club and tehy need to advatise thier main systerms to kids blah blah [GW propoganda] Blah.
end of the day, GW DOES have to get people buying the core games, espically to little kids, so it makes perferct buissness sense.

that however does not mena i have to like it.

BUT!!
that not the point of this thread!
the point is, the gang!

and the gang, is based of a group of guardsmen. it uses the van saar house list (as it bears the most resemblance to the guard) and its generaly a themed list, so if you see things that may look alittle out of place ina 'true' van saar list, then its for a reason, a fluffy reason, but a reason; besides, its necromunda, its meant to be funny.

the gang itself, is a group of deserters, they've left there guard unit for a chance to make some real money.
or so the grunts have been told. only Shinysides and Mcguyver (*sniker* i just had to work the name in somewhere) know whats really going on.
shiny sides found a map, that leads to an old closed off section of the hive, more importantly, it shows an old tech lab, that is filled to the brim with acrotech. enough to keep shinysides in good food and good times well in to his three hundreds, and his right hand man, McGyver wants in on the action, be it by helping shinysides, or stabbing him in the back at the earlyest oppotunity. luckily however, shinysides has his faithfull bodyguard to keep McGyver at bay, trevor the ogryn.
I can't wait to see who stabs who first.

The Gang:

Gang Leader: "L.T. Shinysides"
Plasma Pistol, Las pistol, Chainsword

Ogryn Body Guard: "Trevor"
RipperGun, Bludgon, Photo Contacts, Filter plugs

Ganger: "Ex-Imperial Commissar McGyver"

Well, theres the gang, so what do ya'll think?

What does the ripper gun count as or are you using crazy house rules that allow you to use a real ogryn and ripper gun. It is going to be a horror for your opponents if they let you use it and they don't have equally unbalanced things.

[Captain Slow]

'Trevor' (im sorry but i just love that; why in the name of god, would someone call a great stupid huling ogryn tervor ><) the ogryn; his rules etc, are taken from an article i found on now defunct fanatic website (noes! i just found out that fanatic is being absorbed by GW totaly! so the ra of fanatic support is gone for good T_T) I'll post the PDF up as an attachment, but its not as bad as it sounds, it works slightly diffrently than it does in main-stream 40K (thank god, that would be harsh in necromunda if they kept ogyns mainly the same!)

I will be using that model yes, but im doing it after Ive done yours, which i should be finsihing this vets night.

[JoeGuardsman]

The rules for the Ogryn are well written but I'd never want to see him on the other side of the board from me. He is expensive as hell though which should balance it out.

[Captain Slow]

Indeed, but thats one of the reasons i choose him, he is damn expensive, and since this the start of a campaign, im going to suffer as it increases my outlaw rateing from the very start ><

but, at the end of the day if my GM or the consensus of gamers dont like it, i'm more than willing to take trevor out. at the end of the day, the ogryn rules are only an article, there not a part of the main rulebook. But i have run these past the GM for the campaign and he has approved, i guess im just going to ahve to see how thing pan out, BUT thats not going to stop me from getting round to paint him ^^

[JoeGuardsman]

Yeah that's cool. I mean you want a fair game but no one should really play Necromunda for anything but fun. Let me know how he does. My Ratskin gang is doing fairly well right now.

[Captain Slow]

i will, but the campgain has not started yet, it may not start ><
but never the less, its been fun painting what I've got so far, i might even start a blog about it, dunno, if i did i would feel as if i NEEDED to egt stuff done, and that just does not work well for me. I mean, look at my imperial Fists blog! i started it in january, with the aim of getting 1 full unit built and painted every month, its now july, and i havent even got one unit done!

meh, guess it just means im a lazy ass ^_^

Regardless, ill tell you how i get on when it finally starts, should be a barrel of laughs, looks as if every gang possible is going to be in the campagin.
