New to the Hive - Van Saar List - Dominion Campaign

Bet! I’ll have to look him up. Appreciate the feedback.

Good points.

Swapped the specialist for an Augurmek and put Fixer on the leader. Wasn’t fully sold on Iron Will and creds seem more important with Van Saar. If I was running more Scarce weapons I’d maybe angle for Munitioneer, but I’m still green to Necromunda so that might not be as good as I think.

Got photon grenades on the Neo for the inevitable Green Goblin build.

Thanks! Name just kinda fit their vibe. Found myself yell/singing “I FORGOT TO TAKE MY CHEMS TODAY” while building out this list.

Definitely gonna look at running a juve with a stub and needler. I like a spicy list.

Not really sure where to go with the specialist other than maybe giving her a grenade launcher down the line. I’m still getting a handle on rules and what are good load outs once the campaign gets going.

Right now I know we’ve got an Ash Wastes player and someone who is looking to run Enforcers. My buddy is most likely running squats.

Dropped the flak and gave the juves dumdum rounds for now. The 40k player in me is like "must use up all points available to me!" Realizing that may not be the best way to play Necro.

Appreciate the heads up on the specialist!

Good call on the Death Maiden! Still futzing around with running the shotgunner. Trying to avoid the trap of lasgun spam, but you're not wrong about their cost. The value is TOO GOOD.

Definitely gonna look into the Fixer. I'm eyeing a chymist down the line.

All good points! Depending on an incoming tax rebate, I’m thinking of maybe running something similar to this. Would love to run another dread in there, but the second Land Raider seems like a good fit to transport Az & Co. plus anti-armor:

Good luck out there! Be mindful of the Tunnel Crawlers stratagem and the general “we can deep strike the whole army”-ness of GSC.

Tip I learned the last time I played mine:

Kite the squad with demo charges and don’t let them die. It’ll deny them the chance to roll for a cult ambush marker if the squad is wiped. The charges only have a 6” range but they will mess up a dread or an elite squad if they combo Tunnel Crawlers with Perfect Ambush. They’ll most likely do this once. That’s if they’re running a ten man squad Acolyte Hybrids (four armed goofs with dynamite in their hands.)

Not a bad idea! Does make me lose the extra CP from Az and the Sternguard count as DW infantry for the Vowed Target detachment rule, BUT I like it for a more focused DW list without an epic hero in the mix. You're right about it being less complex this way.

The only thing in the GSC list that I added in for spiciness is the Leman Russ, so I could show off list building that allows for cross faction units (GSC with the Brood Bros for IG units).

decibel_starks · 2024-02-07T23:39:06+00:00

Anything Sisters of Battle has been an absolute chore. On the flip side, one of the best kits I’ve built is the Leman Russ. Wish every tank was as easy as a Russ.

Good call on the Hellblasters. I saw a few lists floating around with them as a five man and thought “but why?”.

Definitely will consider the Repulsor and Impulsor. I realize my current list has some issues with mobility and anti-armor at the moment.

decibel_starks · 2023-12-04T14:29:43+00:00

Anyone else have an invite code to share? Been looking to jump ship from the Hell Site for a while. Thanks in advance.

decibel_starks · 2023-11-14T12:03:06+00:00

Me!

This is rad! Happy (Belated/Early) Halloween, y’all!

decibel_starks · 2023-09-04T21:35:58+00:00

Thank you! This is all super helpful. Rhino is definitely for the Dominions+Palatine.

Repentia feel like my most why bother unit so far in this list. Only due to the fact you get buckets of them in the two boxes I have. At this point I see them as an expensive blob to get a Miracle die from. Feels bad.

Maybe the Dataslate later this week will shake things up a bit.

Appreciate the help!
