Necromunda - Scavvies

[bensaunders]

I've been working on converting a Scavvy gang out of Mantic ghouls and zombies. Never played them before, though long thought of it.

The list below is basically what I've made, which was largely dictated by aesthetics and the contents of my bits box, so I'd welcome any comments or suggestions as to what else to make.

(For your information, this is to play a colleague from work who also has a Scavvy gang. I'm working on the assumption that we'll be using the rules as printed in Outlanders, since the ones currently downloadable from GW are a pile of garbage.)


Boss (100) Club, Autopistol (12), Tox bombs (20) 132

Scaly (120) Club, Speargun (55), Throwing spear (6) 181

Scaly (120) Axe, Axe (10), Throwing Axe (6) 136

Scavvy (25) Club, Autogun (16) 41

Scavvy (25) Club, Autopistol (12) 37

Scavvy (25) Club, Blunderbuss (7) 32

Scavvy (25) Axe, Blunderbuss (7) 32

Scavvy (25) Club, Blunderbuss (7) 32

Scavvy (25) Axe 25

Scavvy (25) Axe, Autopistol (12) 37

Scavvy (25) Club, Shotgun (16) 41

Mutant – third arm (35) Axe, Club (10), Autopistol (12) 57

Scavvy (25) Axe, Stub gun (8) 33

Scavvy (25) Axe, Stub gun (8) 33

Scavvy (25) Spear, Autopistol (12) 37

It's been that long since I played Necromunda that I couldn't even begin to pass comment on the list.

If it were a Van Saar or Escher list I could offer basic advice but never played Scavvies nor against them.

But here goes, get more Lasguns. 2+ ammo roll is always nice.

Unfortunately, Scavvies aren't allowed lasguns. In any case, they're so bad at shooting I was seriously tempted to take more people without any guns at all. I'd welcome people's thoughts on that.

Other issues I'd particularly like feedback on include tox bombs, scaly weapons, choice of mutants, and usefulness of blunderbusses.

I am also in the process of building a Van Saar gang - another I've never played before, but that I thought would make a nice contrast. Again, I'm short on lasguns, but figure it won't matter when I have a few weaponsmiths. (Plus my bits box had plenty of bolt weapons.)

I used to play against a Scavvy gang and the thing that i hated playing against was plauge zombies! People have a tendancy to forget about them but if they attack in numbers they are rather good.
