Necromunda: Gang War III – The Van Saars Arrive
We’re going to take a brief look at the new Gang War III Necromunda Supplement! If you want to play Van Saars in Necromunda, you’re definately going to want to pick this one up. Come take a look inside the book with us.
Gang War III brings the new Van Saar Gang and they are pretty great. With a focus on superior firepower, they can blow the competition away! While this book does have all the rules you’ll need/want to play your Van Saars, there is actually a lot more in this book than you might expect.
The Expanded House Equipment Lists provide lots of new wargear for the existing gangs. They don’t have stats, but those are available elsewhere – but they do come with all the info you need to buy them for your gang (ie, the credit costs.) The new ‘Hangers-on’ include Servitor-Ogryn and the awesome new Ambot:
There are tons more fun things in the book like new Mercs and such to add some extra punch to your gang. One of the sections I’m really excited about is the Multiplayer Game rules. There is nothing quite like throwing down with multiple gangs at the same time. Old rivals may become quick friends when an interloper (or 3) show up at their latest scuffle in an attempt to take them out. It adds a new dimension your games for sure.
On top of those rules, the new scenarios add a bunch of new ways to game in the underhive. This book really does add quite a bit to the game so even if you’re not planning on playing a Van Saar gang, you’ll find something in there for you.
Necromunda: Gang War 3 $30
The rules included with the Necromunda: Underhive boxed game cover battles between Houses Escher and Goliath – these are not the only Houses vying for supremacy of the underhives. Necromunda: Gang War 3 introduces House Van Saar; the technological powerhouse of Necromunda, creators of the finest weapons and armour of all Houses, whose power is built around a dark secret. Along with this, the book introduces Brutes – a new type of hanger-on – and rules for expanding the role of the Arbitrator in your games of Turf War.
