Necromunda Survival: The first Survivers

Before I write up the battle report for the First game of the Survival Campaign, I though I would share with you the starting survivors and I would be interested in finding out what you though of them. 4 different gangs have made it so far, and must work together in order to continue surviving.

Last time I mentioned the number of survivors, I mentioned there would be 3 groups, however a new member has joined the club and wished to take part. The difference between the having 3 groups or 4 groups is probably minimal and I have only written one scenario at this point so I can change it in future scenarios if this was too easy/hard for them. Currently the gangs we have are Orlock, Cawdor (kinda), Van saar (kinda) and Ratskin. I originally just wanted original houses but ratskins isn't much of an issue. However the Cawdor player really wanted to use his Games day enforcer and Cyber mastiff, so I let him use him until he dies. The van saar gang is going to use mechanicum models to represent them and for the theme I let him buy a few rare items to begin with, it should probably be ok... hopefully. When creating the gangs they had a few rules to follow, they didn't have to have a leader, no more than half of the models can be Juves and that was it. I forgot to mention any minimum number (as I encouraged smaller elite gangs). Anyway, here are the gangs:

Orlocks: The Burning Chains

Pyro Joe (Heavy) -110

Flamer, stub guns, knife

Crazy Dave (ganger) – 75

Shotgun, hotshot ammo, knife

Steve (ganger) – 80

Autogun, maul

Stabby Micky (Juve) – 50

autopistol, sword

Van Saar: Forces of the Mechanicum

Hephestion Drax (Leader) – 315

Power axe, bolt pistol with red dot sight, bionic eye, respirator, flack armour, knife

Cawdor/ Enforcer: Whats left

Morten Von Schill (Enforcer Handler)

Power maul, laspistol, carapace armour

Cyber Dogmeat (Cyber Mastiff)

carapace armour

Lucky Leon (Ganger)

autogun, knife

Ratskins: Ginger bread Kens (I don't know why)

Wanky Wolf (Shaman) – 175

Shotgun, sword, Blindsnake pouch, Spirit walk

Sitting duck (Ratskin) – 70

Massive axe

Rattrap (Ratskin Brave) – 35

Knife, maul

SmackRat (Ratskin Brave) – 35

Knife, Maul

All together that's 12 survivors, some of which are a lot more geared out than others. It feel like a very good mix, and only 1 leader which is very useful. The Cyber mastiff looks like it will be a major problem, but we will see.

The first game will hopefully be a good test of the power balance, and so I can see what will happen in the future. What do you guys think of the survivors so far?  And here is a little preview of friday.
