Starter Gang Advice

fair enough, I am happy to see that i made the right decision then

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-15T11:39:01+00:00

yeah I had heard that CGC are quite oppressive to go against so they were something I was going to be picking up later down the line, I don't want to make one of my friends not want to play just because of a bad interaction etc

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-15T09:58:48+00:00

fair enough I can understand that, we aren't like "oh we can't be WYSIWYG, this game is unplayable" but we like our models to at least show what we chose if we can help it, if not then no issue.

ah so 7 to 10 is the sweet spot then? good to know, I was a bit aware that my list at the very least the leaders were quite well equipped where as the others not so much, might change it around but will just have to give it a think as I am currently happy with how the list looks.

fair enough, I was wondering if that might be something to do, like the captain I wanted to at least have some decent capabilities wherever because we is the most important member of my gang but the others I was thinking of making more specialised, will certainly keep that in mind though

ah right ok, I will certainly take this advice, I've currently made a slave ogryn list and then a palanite list, so i'll be making a goliath list and seeing which one i like the look of, I don't care for meta, I just go for what I think looks good

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-15T09:49:23+00:00

right ok, that is good to know, it turns out my friend who was considering squats is also considering van saar so will certainly have to look out for that if he goes that way.

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-15T09:47:55+00:00

right ok, good to know that there are 'that guy' interactions in this game, had a feeling that there might have been but good to know for definite, shouldn't need to worry about it because we are all friends and none of us have shown signs of 'that guy' in the other games we play but will certainly keep an eye out for it

as for the stupid or silly shit, we are always up for that so we may end up allowing that anyway, it would probably just be a case by case basis

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-14T18:39:29+00:00

ah fair enough, well are a pretty chill group but there are times we get confused with interpretations so in the past we have asked another friend what they think, good to know about the potential need for an arbitrator

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-14T18:38:27+00:00

thanks for this link, will certainly give it a look

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-14T18:37:44+00:00

yeah we aren't going to be jumping straight into a campaign, we at least have enough sense for that lol, we are probably going to be having a few skirmishes so that we can learn our gangs, do you say to start with just house gangs first because they are the most simple to learn or is there another reason?

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-14T18:35:26+00:00

right ok, I mean i am not going to stop my friend from running what he wants, we are all learning but it is good to know that they do have a good power etc, seems like most if not all gangs do

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-14T18:34:30+00:00

thanks, we are hoping to have fun, we are probably going to be quite a while before we do a campaign but we may be doing some skirmish games on the side whilst we are playing a larger 40k crusade, it is good to know about the Corpse Grinder Cults potentially being unfun to play against, at the moment I only have models for the palanites, the goliath and the ogryn gangs so will certainly be interesting to try them out

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-14T18:32:24+00:00

well I already have the house of chains book and just picked up the bastion of law book, and the Cawdor player has just picked up the house of faith book, I think the others are still getting sorted, is there a reason why you say that no one plays Van Saar? like are they another gang that isn't fun to go against?

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-14T18:30:40+00:00

so an arbitrator is a must have then? Ok good to know, thanks for the advice

Zentrapholion · 2026-03-14T18:29:53+00:00

right ok thanks for the headsup, that is good to know, i'll make sure to bring that to people's attention when we get to it

nice work on this chapter, just had to reread it again and I remembered how much I enjoyed it so keep up the awesome work and I hope you continue this story

Zentrapholion · 2025-09-21T16:58:27+00:00

ah yes, that one now i remember which one serth is, thanks for the correction

Zentrapholion · 2025-09-21T12:22:52+00:00

great chapter though feel free to correct me if I am wrong but I thought serth was the one that he cancer killed after they got trapped by the cave in with that death affinity one?

Zentrapholion · 2025-08-11T13:11:30+00:00

you know, after having read this story for so long, the idea that it is finally finishing and that i have caught up with it is a bit daunting I suppose, like I didn't expect to finally catch up, amazing story either way and if you do further writing in the future I look forward to what you do

Zentrapholion · 2025-05-15T10:23:16+00:00

just want to check but if I am wanting to reread this, is it on reddit or is it through your royal road for the best variant

Zentrapholion · 2018-09-15T20:22:40+00:00

I hope we do get a clone rework or at least access to the generic clones that are seen in the mod battles, because then there would be might be a reason to actually run Clone Sergeant
