The Final Hunt

 

Numeriel heard word that there were stashes of supplies, resources and information on the beast hidden at a Delaque storage site. 

Imagine meeting him on a dark street

Well that hadn't gone as planned but still the Outcasts could be followed and they may just lead her to the beast, she sent most of the crew back to the base, they would be no match for the beast. It was however finally time to send for Perseus.

And well that was that, the Hunt was over. Numeriels wet noodle turned out to be a gun when it was aimed at the final boss but remained a wet noodle for anything else. I never once got exp from Headshot.

Well after playing Venators for a campaign I felt like they were really strong yet failed to deliver on the Elite band of Bounty Hunters feel. In a few games my opponents got actual bounty hunter due to inducements and the real hunters look so much better on paper. I know they are meant to be that way as they are only hired for a game or 2 in the standard rules but having to keep hiring gangers to get my champs who were close to being bounty hunters. The massive band of old fogeys isn't really the elite tight knit bounty hunters vibe.

I still like the old fogeys but they played alot like old fogeys

I would rewrite the Venators entirely to be honest. they should function as a very unique type of gang. I reckon their "gangers" should be treated like champions and start with a skill and 2 wounds and whats generally considered the champ profile. The leader should go one step further and start with 2 skill (like a bounty hunter you hire). This does mean the leader is the only one who can group activate.

I'm happy with the pose

The cost of a background should automatically be included and you should be able to pick between a house background or xenos or ex military. Doing so gives you the house skill (or palanite drill) as a primary and you pick one other primary as well as access to the house list for weapons and wargear. For xenos its pick 2 Primary, and access to xenos weapons.

To cap this all off we don't want a large gang for a tightly knit unit of bounty hunters so we would introduce a rule "Only so many slices of pie" which would impose a limit of 5 Ganger types maximum in the gang. (This makes a maximum gang size of 6). And a rule where they use a D3 when bottling not a D6 as their starting gang size will always be low. 

Good Enough

Enough about my rules monologues. Onto the next campaign. I have tried roping in a friend with a lovely demo game. I tried my new gang which is Van Saar. 

 

These hi-tech Van Saar took on the forces of chaos undivided.

And well it was a draw. Most importantly my mate enjoyed the game and it was a close game. He played really well considering.

And once again have you ever seen a board game with a better board. That map was great fun.

Amazing boards of every sort
