House Van Saar Guide - Necromunda Guide and Starting Lists 

Ye mate 100% on the spiders, such a sleeper I think (though obv experiences differ) They help negate the combat weakness and add web, I mean that’s an immense combo

Aaaah fair enough; good shout! Gets can Saar into a combat realm aswell I suppose with the combat loadout you’ve suggested which is an attractive thing (but of difference to normal play)!

@BearfootMiniatures in addition, it can be a cheaper alternative to saving for the Spider Rig. Allowing the rig to be used after 1/2 way.

I hadn’t really thought of the flash tbh (never pops to my head outside Escher tbh) but that’d be such a good/annoying usage of them!

I find neotek being one of the best options in this codex. 1) He always has light cover 2) he can have mesh armour => this things are ridiculously sturdy and can be positioned in a way that melee fighters can't reach you at all. Photon flash for lulz and green goblin vibes and hand flamers as an upgrade. Now it doesn't matter if your ballistic is 4+, you just ignore at and fry people alive. Excellent move allows van saar to excel at pick up\escort etc missions requiring movement. Photon + flamer turns him into fine CC machine. And don't sleep on toughness upgrade, this guy now can be used as a screen for you heavy weapon guy.

Hail Jensen!

Have you had success with it?! Id written it off due to the shooting seeming just a more expensive option compared to a short champion tbh

@@BearfootMiniatures Not in the competitive sense, that said occasionally the Acheotek is in the right place at the right time to counter the opponents melee attempts, situational and more luck based tho I'd imagine. I'm going to try a las carbine spam list with dual las sub carbine archeotek w/ spider rig, an Arachni-Rig and then all gangers with las carbines for the luls.

Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it!

Hey mate! Glad you enjoyed it, the more recent vids have had a steady increase of equipment (and post processing) quality so is better as you work through!

Haha shooting ground to do it?! Worth a go just for the lulz I think!

@@BearfootMiniatures Yea, rad-guns are templates right? Deck the radphage champ out for combat, send them in and then shoot into combat with the rad-gun. I think the archeotek shines as a promotion for a neotek during a campaign, and the agility skill to put on the neotek isn't spring up, it's sprint. 3 moves with that board attack. Could you infiltrate the cyberarachnid to try and get a first turn charge or web gun shot before it panics and runs for it's owner?

100% agree in terms of flavour; I don’t think they needed a boost power wise but it would’ve been nice to have options beyond “shooting champ”

@@BearfootMiniatures Its is hard to build them to fight in melee they are at best awerage. Like champs A1 is making them poor to it even they have acsess on combat as secondary. I have mostly been looking making staling close combatters but I have yet time to test such builds at full
