Necromunda Beginner's Guide - Recommended Starting House Gang Lists 

Very helpful! Just starting with House Escher. Got 2 boxes of Gang with an additional upgrade kits and 1 Death Maidens/Wyld Runners box. Got a little more so can build nice variety and play around to see what I like.

Your Orlock Leader is probably my most used leader loadout right down to the skills. Nice choices mate

Really useful information, looking forward to you covering the other factions.

Wonderful lists, very helpful! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the nomads.

Thank you very much, list building ist quite daunting at the beginning. I would love a video like this for the other gangs!

Very cool, thanks. Your cawdor List is Almost the same, as the one that i am building at the moment, except that i have a brethren with eviscerator instead of the granade launcher dude. Great video, as usual 😊

This is super helpful. Got my first game with the Delaque this week 👍

Great video! I'm new to necromunda tabletop. Played the video game a lot so looking forward to trying the skirmish game.

Great video. Very helpful.

Thank you for this

Great video, looking forward for squats as well

Great video, would’ve benefited from chapter marks to add to rewatchabilility and finding the gang you’re planning 😊 Hope you do a follow-up with squats at least!

This is so useful for a new player like myself. I hope you do the other gangs as well.

Great. Love yours Videos.🙂 Thank you

Ok long time Van Saar player here with some advices: 1. Getting subteks (juves) instead of teks (gangers) with lasguns might actually save you few credits at the start of the campaing, but first of all its kinda dirty play (because your juves are the only juves who can take basic weapons - lasguns) and second - they have really awful psychology stats which might be really bad in some key situations during your games. Please, be a good guy and dont spam subteks with lasguns. Also - gangers could be advanced into specialists and Juve's adnvances are nonexistent. 2. NEVER EVER take combi las-plas. Combi weapons are basically awful. Combi trait is awful. Regular plasmagun would cost you 5 credits more and it has no combi trait. It used to be kinda okay-ish pre-House_of books when it was 75 credits and second components was lasgun, not laspistol, now it is nonexistant at 95 credits. 3. Dont hire Archeoteks at the start of the campaing. They have awful skills, pretty bad and extremely expensive weapon choices and they would be absolutely useless most of the time. They can actually do work once you get some credits for good heavy weapon (plentiful Heavy Bolter, Plamacannon without scarce), but its really better (and more fun to you!) to start with 2 Augmeks. 3. Dual-plasmapistol agumek with gunfighter is my MVP in EVERY campaing i play. This lady does so much work and it is so fun to play a gunfighter - get yourself a gunfighter from the beginning! 4. You dont have to take shooting skill on your leader with plasmagun - he is already THE BEST shooter in the underhive. Iron Will is actually a great choice for Van Saars. Or some savant stuff. I can assure you - you would regret running forward (hip shooting) with your best and the most expensive leader lol. 5. Gravguns are great. As a van saar player you want both preventing chargers with graviton pulse and having a good template weapon to deal with "hordes". 6. Keep in mind that lasguns can be upgraded with hotshot packs (S4 is a extremely good) and lascarbines can not be upgraded. Most of the time players pick lasguns over autoguns when they are priced equally, but lascarbine is basically an autogun at the price of two lasguns. 7. The biggest issue with Van Saars in campaing play is that they dont have any good basic weapons. That means that we only have lasguns with hotshots and supression lasers. Supression lasers are actually good weapon in Van Saar's hands, it wont be a bad idead to buy one for a starting crew!

would love to see your lists for skirmish only versions, where the skills/weapons/gang member you've picked superficially for campaign don't matter as much. for example gene smithing terminal biology for skirmish would be so unfair. also you don't need to pick a certain load out with the mind set that you'll buy what you need later. And of course skirmish games get 1500 credits

Delaque Building, don't forget Nach Ghuls are champions and can activate in pairs. Two activated together are really lethal as can cut through a gang core. Also, any Delaque gang needs Smoke granades.

I love this channel! love playing necromunda and this is the best channel for munda content. Ive learnt heaps watching your vids

Thanks for the vid! Really useful for juves and necromunda aficionados in general. What is your take on dual wealding flechette pistols Delaque leaders?

Hail all

As rule of thumb I like to have five gangers with autoguns/lasgun at gang creation as an insurence policy against bad luck to ensure I can safely lay down some real pinning fire. Other than that I would advice you keep a close eye on costs, avoid heavy weapons and only buy wargear if it really makes a big impact. Since a lot of new players make the mistake of getting far too many toys, and not enough boys early on. Also as a early goal, having 10 fighters every game isn't the worst!

Hi there! Kinda new to Necromunda. Starting to play with House Escher. I see everyone goes for the Chain Axe on the Queen. How do you rate the Shock Whip and Versatile? Do you think its a decent weapon? Tbh a bit afraid of converting this beatiful sculpt.

Generally do you think it's not worth giving armor to juves? Whether the points for mesh armor are just better spent on a better fighter? Thinking mainly from the perspective of House Delaque.

are you going to create lists for the other gangs? could you also add links to your gang lists?

Can you please share the stat cards so I can print them?

Any chance of getting a link or some screenshots of all those gang cards you've made up mate ?

How would you rate Bulging Biceps on a Firebrand with the Heavy Crossbow?

Do you think respirators are worth it in the aaah Wastes?

How is it that everyone seems to start their Orlock leaders with 2 skills? The House of Iron book only allows you to take one. Am i missing something?

Ash wasters feel left out

The way you talk about the hame and cheesy lists really kinda really turns me off from trying to start playing a game that seems to be mainly narrative and fluffy. I'd like to get away from the 40k super competitive mentality you seem to bring to these lists
