That old one I’d have said was arachnid in style. Which could be anything still. Necromunda, KT, 40K, AoS..

new genestealers! oh and also necromunda board game i guess

Spyrers!!! Genestealers! Necromunda is back baby!

Munda had the best reveals today period!

easily the best

So chuffed we get mutated, manky Genestealers. Necromunda is at its best when it’s showing off the unlikely and unusual.

Spyrers are gonna look impressive!

The Spyrehunter suits look nice but I think I still prefer the Van-Saar arachni-rigs more. Regardless, nice to see some more models added to the range.

i'll finally be starting necromunda proper soon and i wanna start with escher but this is fully convincing me that van saar should be what i branch into after that

Seems we get at least one set of options for Spyrers.

One on the left is the classic bolt launcher and fistyfist. One on the right appears to have Volkite Serpenta type ranged, and proper rippy claws. Makes me want to know more, and see the other suit classes. Spesh as I’m now mildly hopeful we might get more than just four.

Gang 3.0 and we're getting more ..... lasguns, the normal one, not even the custom one like the resin champ model, fantastic.

Snippets of ruined Zone Mortalis terrain look good. Shame that none is included in the boxed set.

I mean, this is just one type of hunter rig...

We've still got 4 more that could be shown off!

Another book? Jesus, how much of a library is there for Necromunda now?

While I am tempted but the boxed set, it’s going to be £200 isn’t it.

Nearer the £120 mark at a guess.

Described as softback, yet the mock-up picture clearly shows a hardback, no less.

Aren't they renders, not photos of the actual book?

Yeah, that's why I called it a mock-up.

Bit disappointing and weird that instead of doing more spyrers, they put some van saar

More variety, more balanced sides, and gets the first of the new gang secundus upgrade sprues out.

It's literally the opposite of "weird."

The most straightforward sequence of release is for each new Spyrer suit to come alongside each gang's new "Hive Secundus adventurer" specialists.

That would be a lot of kits, though. But I guess Delaque getting stiffed on their Ash Wastes rides indicates that GW aren't fully committed to giving every gang an upgrade for every "season."

edit: Although I admit I still don't entirely understand what this release *is*, lol. A self-contained board game? What does the "Zone Necromunda Game" stamp on the box convey? Will there be no generic multiplayer campaign style rules for this sub-setting? Or is that going to be in the additional book they tease at the end of the article?

Personally, id like them to simply make new gangs instead of bloating the ones we have. I could see the point for the ashwaste (vehicule), but does any of the houses really need new units in secondus hive?

But yeah, i should have left it at disappointing. Not weird at all in fact, as it's also less time consuming to do so

Space Hulk but on Necromunda with very doomed gangers rather than Terminators. So they've toned down the Genestealers to be very Impurestrain to give the poor saps half a chance.

Actually, with the Spyers, this is possibly more Aliens Vs Predator, the board game.

What other pairings look good? Malcadon/Delaque?

Regardless - this looks interesting! And the models look good.

The picture of the whole contents shows a softback book though.

Kind of disappointing that it's only a double-sided paper mat, not even carboard tiles like in the original box. Doors are going to be the only "real" terrain? Meh.

But I'll probably get it anyway.

Although, I did notice what looks like an Achilles Ridgerunner near the end of the cinematic.

Are two of the Van Saar guys giving contradictory hand signals?

I know Mr. Fist is conveying "stop" but I don't know what Two-Fingers is advising... is that a "move there" or just a "look there"?

Yeah, it doesn't seem entirely out of the question that this is the Necromunda version of Kill Team: Ashes of Faith. But the fact that terrain is coming and not in the box makes me lean the other way, that it's a new format of gangs consisting of elite leaders with traditional gangers as chaff, and the Genestealers being just one version of that. I wonder if there will be any types of elites other than Malstrain and Spyrers. There are plenty of 40k Imperial factions they could play that role for Palanites, after all, though I really hope they never put marines in Necromunda.

Those sound like good guesses to me.

The Valrak video a few pages back that correctly-predicted Genestealer Cultists based on Hive Scum bodies also said something like "Necromunda will be the place for big impressive models for a while" so I could see that elite leader format being accurate.

I'm sure at least the malstrain Patriarch is in the way.

Oh, and lore-wise Spyrers are now Imperial House only, which I was wondering about since there are already nobles of very different sorts in N17 and some houses (notably Catallus) wouldn't seem the types to just send their kids out to mix it up with everyone else in the Underhive.

Unless I dreamt it there was very old lore suggesting Spyrer suits were Tau technology, but they've clearly not leant into that with this design.
