Nomad Watcher

The Space Taliban to the Chaos Cultists' Space al-Qaeda.

Nomad Watchers are the second-in-command in a Ash Waste Nomads clan in Necromunda.

Overview

Nomad Watchers are the champions of the Nomads and are usually treated as the clan's heavy weapons guy. As their name may indicate, the Nomad Watcher is designed to act as the 'look-out guy', which means that his responsibility lays onto overwatching a Nomad perimeter. Any foreigner caught entering Nomad territory is going to be found out and alerted by this guy.

As they are pretty high-ranked. Watchers are given weapons that is usually off-limits for normal Nomad Warriors. These weapons are always Charge Casters and Rocket Propelled Grenade Launchers. Given that intruders always drive around in vehicles, having your spotter be armed with anti-armour weapons is the common sense approach.

Crunch

On Necromunda, the Nomad Watcher is more mundane compared to the flashy Nomad Chieftan. They are very shooting focused indeed, with nice Heavy & Special Weapon choices and good skills to further complement on this. Given they only lug around heavy weapons, they are powerful ranged units, but are quite vulnerable to melee and given that they are more sluggish compared to their brethren, care must be taken on where you would want to position them. However, since they are your only choice for anti-armour, you can't really complain that much.
