Very cool analysis of the Water Guild! Quick question: are you going to do videos on all of the Guilds, Criminals, and Noble Houses too?

Hello, nice analysis as usual. One thing to note is that the Slopper hanger-on is a 0-1 choice (so you can't buy extra sloppers to get a better roll to recover your fighters in recovery, like you suggested, unless it has been House-ruled so in your gaming group), meaning the Water guild alliance is the only official way to improve the Slopper 6+ recovery roll to a 5+. Also keep in mind that if you're playing an Outlander campaign the Doc's clinic Building allows the gang to automatically (no dice rolling) take out of recovery up to 3 fighters, which would make the Slopper+Guild bonus kind of redundant in that case (unless you are playing a 20-men Cawdor gang following the Path of the doomed and get 4-5 fighters in recovery on a regular basis). That said, the main draw for making a Water guild alliance is the 'instant selling of prisoners to the guild' and the bonus to capture rolls; again if played in an Outlander campaign, the Gaol building gives its gang another +3 on capture rolls, making capturing enemy fighters almost automatic and if they happen to be Outlaws/Unsanctioned psychers, you could be getting huge bounties for selling them. Anyway, keep up the good work and cheers:)
Ahhh the merchant guild analysis, so glad someone put the work I wasn't bothered to in! Beautiful minis, even if only to be used once or twice I must have them

Excellent timing for this leg of the series, as now these guild gangs can be the core of an outcast gang.

They are so neat. Not sure how often alliances will come up for us. Hard fought for numbers etc. Guess tie them in more for narrative rewards. Thanks for the analysis.

You're very welcome. For my gaming group, I always allow them to take their Guild Allies, even if their Reputation is higher. I mean, why not? Lol!
From the previews of the new book out soonish it looks like it'll be possible to play alliances as the core of a guilder themed gang. So that could be an option for someone wanting to allow alliance models in a campaign without the potential for unbalancing games the alliance rules can bring. Will be neat seeing how that's balanced.

Indeed! My gaming group and I are excited for the release of the new Book of the Outcast rules. When I saw that you can use a Guild Delegation for the core of an Outcast gang, building a Corpse Guild Gang called Soylent Green suddenly filled my imagination! Can't wait!
Slick Breakdown. You missed a benefit... Water is Life! ;) Cheers

One of my players, Iron Major, has a Water Guild Alliance for his Venator gang in our Anarchy Road Narrative Campaign. That Subnautican is an absolute beast in close combat, especially when combined with Overseer. The Master Nautican and Syphonite are meh, but its entertaining to see them on the table top too!
no AP for the big guy might be a problem in melee, esp. if you are running into heavily geared champs

That part is true. The no AP is a huge hurdle. A buddy of mine uses the fighter's Knock Back rule to push enemies off of ledges and bridges, and its been working pretty good for him :D
Good afternoon and happy hump day commander! Hope you’re having a great week! Do you plan on playing the Halo campaign when it comes out on the 8th?

Happy Hump Day to you as well! As for Halo, not really sure. I mainly use a Playstation for my video game playing needs. But a buddy of mine does have an Xbox; might have to jump in on it :D

What song is that playing in the intro? It sounds familiar, but I can't place it!

It's the end credits song for a film from early 2000's called "Way of the Gun". I thought the titles sounded similar and decided to use it for the videos.
Noob here I'm thinking of getting into Necromunda. 11 months ago the new Water Guild miniatures from FW were announced & are now available. I'm looking for ideas using these mini's & I haven't come across any battle reports with them in. Have you any suggestions that I might add to the mini's??? I haven't gotten any books either including the rule book.

Below is a link to battle report where my friend uses the water Guild in a battle. kzread.info/dash/bejne/la2AsJRqZti3iaw.html Go on Google and look for the Necromunda Comprehensive Rules pdf that you can download which holds most rules from the Rule Book, Gang Book, Book of Peril, Book of Judgement, and Book of Ruin. These rules will help you learn the game. If you'd like, you can also Purchase the Book of the Outcast so you can make the Water Guild delegation into the core of your gang as well! They can gain experience, purchase wargear and weapons, and earn stat and skills. I hope this helps!
