Ancient, Pre-Imperium nobility/dictator. Has been hiding out in stasis. The attempted assassination of Lord Helmawr and resulting political fallout presented his opportunity to claim the throne.

No one is quite sure if he’s actually human at this stage.

Don't see why the Imperium would care so long as the tithes keep flowing.

Somebody is paying attention and does have an opinion;

'After millennia of House Helmawr’s rule, Ozostium Aranthus now stands atop Hive Primus, and the resulting disruption of the planetary tithe results in an ultimatum being made by the Imperial Fists – House Helmawr has 100 days to regain control of the planet and eliminate Ozostium.'

Oh nice!

So it does now look like GWS are going to produce characters in plastic, unlike what they had been doing with resin characters for Necromunda.

Much better for conversion fodder. Aranthus himself would make a nice base to convert up Khanjar the Sharp!

Are we seeing more shrinkflation? It looks like the Justicars are just 5 models, probably selling for the same price as a gang of 10

There seem to be six lots of bodies (leader, axe guy who has a 'loin cloth' piece, guy taking a step forward, guy standing still, guy standing with coat flaring open a little, and crouching guy).

Yes, a strange lot. 4 unique mook poses and 2 unique character poses. Perhaps they fit on a regular sprue if they have fewer options? Most are shown with at least different head options, so chances are still two copies of the sprue per box.

Pontius was my first thought about it too.

Not that long it seems:

What about Van Saar?

They're basically on eternal life support due to severe radiation poisoning. I suppose they'd be adolescents when recruited so less degraded than most but it's made pretty clear that the Van Saar are about as far from peak physical condition as can be.

BA still recruit from rad-soaked populations, so I imagine that's not too much of a dealbreaker.

True but they're also from relatively primitive warrior tribes who are seemingly 'toughened' by the harshness of their conditions and at least nominally well conditioned enough to have some meet the exceptional standards required for selection. The radiation is necessarily purged but the bodies of those chosen are otherwise highly athletic. Van Saar are physically weak and suffer from widespread muscle wastage and organ failure. They need their suits to survive. I'd argue that they simply wouldn't have a chance of producing candidates that came close to meeting the body standards needed.

They are very nice, but I hope that the resins aren't getting immediately retired. The female rogue doc is a much better fit for my Escher, and I kinda like the old Slopper more too.

Now there are some lovely Inquisitorial acolytes.

Rumour?

Its clear that has been happening since they decided to go full plastic with 30K vehicles and infantry. Only a matter of time before they stopped using it for new characters/single modes and new units as well.

I like the ammo jack model (assuming that I identified it correctly from the bullet skirt) especially as a general post apocalyptic figure.

There's been no official statement (unsurprising) and while we're still waiting on Angron Transfigured & Lotara, Palanites got some resin figures not too long ago.

Getting monopose hangers on in plastic is wild

From this point on it's probably redundant to ask if a release is plastic or resin

Which ones?

And God damn, I might be critical of the direction the game took, but these models are ace, and in plastic

The ones arguing Hangers On, being a niche within a niche (an entirely accurate summation), we likely wouldn’t see them in plastic.

Not being mean, rude or snarky. Just mildly amused what was a completely logical and accurate statement just suddenly isn’t. In the best possible way.

Oh yes I completely agree. I was pretty sure we would never see hanger ons in plastic (bar some very rare exceptions like the umber hulk automatons). And while I'm as surprised as anybody, i never was so happy to be wrong lol

They’re also pretty solid Generic Dark Sci Fi dudes.

Of them all, I’d say only the Ammo Jack, due to weapon design, is particularly 40K.

Those are some amazing models. I was just tempted to buy some resin Necro models but not at $30+ a pop.

If this box is sensibly priced (GW standards) it looks like a must buy.

I love all of them, they ooze character! I'm just not sure which is the Dome Runner and which is the new guy, I'd guess the Runner now has the long rifle, and the new guy is floaty mecha guts? Either way, fantastically grim-punk aesthetic to them.

Man, I wonder if some of the alliance groups will be coming to us in plastic or if they are just getting smart about the most popular stuff being available at retail.

Thought occurred. I earlier said that outside of the Ammo Jack, these are nicely generic dark sci-fi sculpts, as they’re not festooned with loads of 40K specific details and doohickeys.

Maybe part of the plasticification is to broaden that specific appeal, and so potentially sell to folks who otherwise don’t really play Necromunda or GW games?

I guess Van Saar could work out at least on principle - there's even a campaign hook in it somewhere, have your guys rescue (or kill) one of the dudes that got recruited but knows a bit too much about what actually happens at maison Van Saar before you end up being the hottest item on the Mechanicus' plate since Arkhan Land's monkey bit the dust...

I guess the servitor is the hive watcher, they got a literal looking glass and some sort of seismic recorder thing instead of the usual belly-scroll setup, probably for monitoring hive quakes and such.

Plague doctor gas mask = automatic purchase.

Funny enough, its the paintjob on the doctors bag that really catch my attention.

Nice models, and most interresting that they would do these in plastic.

If GW did small campaing boxes with various hangers on and scenery instead of gang members, they would get my money.

Almost treat it in the same way as new Kill Team releases, that would be perfect. A single sprue box akin to the Outlaws set with 4-5 minis, with maybe a few head options etc per model, would be perfect.
The Merchant type hangers on would be a great example, along with an expanded Market set. They really have opened up nicely with these.

Seems a possibility now.

I don’t think I’m being too much when I say the Necromunda range, especially the Hangers On and non-gang affiliated models have received near universal positive reactions. But like many players? I’ve struggled to really justify the Resin prices.

Put even more in plastic? Now you’re really talking my language.

The existing slopper comes with a scabber and the existing rogue doc with a lookout. Not sure what their course of action would be here. Ammo-jack and dome runner are together so that kit must be on borrowed time.

The dome runner has a long las which is not currently an option for them, unless that has changed very recently?

A great set to see and i am like others in that i like the figures by Forge World but not the prices of them.
I can see these being popular with many gamers of sci-fi and similar games and not just 40K related.

Article confirms the next book has updated rules for the Dome Runner, and rules for the Hive Watcher. Oh, and updated rules for the Rogue Doc With Mediskull.

Don't be giving them any ideas now... On the other hand, the Imperial Fists were always linked to Necromunda, so some sort of recruitment 'gang' or even Serfs or Scouts in the Underhive could be a thing. There I go...giving them ideas!

I was just perusing the GW website the other day, and thinking that a Sisters of Battle Novitiate squad would fit in, given that we know they have a chapel in one of the hive cities.

Just a quick PSA.

The existing “Escher” Rogue Doc is currently back in stock at least in the UK webstore. Noticed other posters wondering if that kit might be retired, so figured worth sharing.

I have a handful of models, mostly for use in 40k- mostly because I just can't afford both and I'm a slow painter. But if I could afford Necromunda in addition to 40k, I'd be all in.

I point out my ignorance of Newcromunda's rules in case I'm WAY of base with what I'm about to say...

But I don't get the complaining about a story "making the game small". In the original Necromunda, we were using Tallarn desert raiders for Ash Waste nomads, there were no vehicles... Though I think a handful of Citadel Journal articles gave rules for bikes that never had models. I don't remember any named settlements in the Wastes or any real details about Hive Secondus.

I get "not liking a story" - but if you don't like it, ignore it and continue to enjoy MASSIVE development of the wastes, Secondus and a vehicle range that's approaching 40k levels of awesomeness.

To say the game is smaller because a plot that you can ignore exists doesn't make a whole lot of sense when everything I wished they had done for the original is finally happening.

I could build a 40k sized army for most gangs in the game now and you think a story makes it smaller than when there were ten metal models for each of ten or so gangs?

Whatever.

Maybe it would make sense to me if I read the books, but I don't think so,

That would be perfect. Change a couple of heads and weapons, give them some sentinels and rhinos, and you'd have a great Ash Wastes gang.

Are we still waiting on the Enforcer weapon sprue to be released after the mysterious feth up?

I'm still waiting on the Enforcer Weapons sprue, even if it is missing a Bolter!

Ozostium looks pretty undead. Do you think he will be the new Karloth Valois? The things he did to his caryatid is pretty close to necromancy as well? Then all this could lead up to hive Mortis, if we are lucky!

Any info on when the new stuff will be getting released?

 manic _miner wrote:

Whenever there's next a slow (read: no 40k/Aos release) week.

Presumably either next week, or in the new year.

Whatever happened to Palanite weapon sprue? Was there ever a confirmation on whether it was a contamination or because of a missing bolt pistol from the picture?

Sunday Preview – The Divine Prince returns to Necromunda

The Rogue Doc comes with a choice of two head options.

All at once?
I want most of this stuff, but it's a goodly chunk of change all at once.
Also probably means nothing else for six months or more.

Book, Hangers On for me, I think.

Any changes to the Enforcer gun sprue returning from AWOL?

Good question. Image from original announcement (showing a single sprue)



And from the new one.

The only difference will be the box art. Which will will now no longer have bolt pistols on it.

I love all of the new releases and will get them all.

Divine Prince may be delayed depending on the price point

The hangers on in plastic will also depend on price. Being done in a box unit style will hopefully keep costs down, if they were at 40K single plastic character prices it would be a hard miss.

With all these characters and the special character going to plastic I wonder if FW is being finally sidelined from Necromunda Characters.

Will have to see how the Palanite Justicars work to see if I eventually get 2 boxes. But will get 1 to start.

Having these dribble out, a couple releases a month would have been much more preferable than having them all drop at once.

No hard decisions on the head choice for the doc, then. The bare one is too busy.

That's quite a big release. May have to pick and choose on this...

Not currently playing Munda, but I'll have to grab the plastic hangers-on just to vote with my wallet "more of this"

The servo skull has a wig!

Oh now I have to order it...



They would make a neat IG command squad for some sort of traitor guard or especially scruffy army.

Oh, this might be an expensive weekend!

Also, I love the blueprint effect on that dome runner.

Necromunda is a gift that keeps on giving!

Now I've got to get even more Squats. I thought I was done, and could get on with painting them all.

This is not a bad thing

I think that Dome Runner will have a conversation once I get my hands onto it to have the Lasgun in a shooting position.

Excellent Release!

It’s like a ‘previous on’, where they inevitably miss out the coolest gubbins!

500 quatloos says it pretty much goes back to status quo ante.

I wonder if this hints at the possibility of a plastic Lady Helmawr model:

Ozostium himself graces the battlefield for Aranthian-aligned gangs, whilst Imperial-aligned gangs can set out with Haera or design their own Spyrer leader in a rare Sthenian-pattern rig.

Given that they've made the Aranthus guy in plastic, I fully expect GW to make a dual use Sthenian kit with both Lady Helmawr and generic spyrer bits.

I have no idea what the timeline of their plans for retiring resin are, but replacing a kit as recent as Spyrer-Haera this quickly would surprise me at least a little.

I think there's also a version where all this infighting starts to attract Imperial attention and a new Interim Governor is appointed. Some high ranking AdAdmin adept etc.

The divide for the gangs is then whether they are still looking to curry favour with the old noble houses or going all in with the New Management.

Letting you bring in all manner of Administratum weirdos as they begin a full Planetary Survey and Census vs more of the noble and outlaw stuff as the Houses and Noble families look to hide some of the things they'd prefer not to be documented, overinflate other parts and implicate rivals in illicit activities.

That would be rather cool, although it would sadly be out of character for GW to introduce a narrative with a problem that can't be solved with a particularly awesome close combat weapon.

The Warhammer Studio staff paint new Necromunda ready for Spire of Primus

Of all the resin models that have been made for Necromunda, I hope the next ones to get made into plastic are the abhuman ones. I’d like to see fNecromunda/imperial style beastmen and (not ironhead) squats.

Yess, give us Bratz! Some properly Blanchian punks in plastic would be fantastic!

I seem to recall that when Necromunda was relaunched, it was said they wanted to do Brat Gangs over Spyrers. On things like Jetbikes.

I’ll see if I can dig up a source.

£27 for the hangers-on. Seems very good for GW.

Not bad for 5 "characters", I'll definitely take it over one Space Marine hero.

Waaaay cheaper than the resin!

Mentioned as part of Hive Trazior’s background.

Hive Trazior is infamous for the Brat gangs of its up-hive spires, who take a cruel delight in engaging in gang warfare with the ‘commoners’ of the underhive. They are well known for their brightly painted, and incredibly rare, jetbikes, which they race through the throughfares and transit tubes, inflicting mischief and mayhem wherever they pass.[5]

Struggling to sauce them being posited in place of Spyrers though.

Given that the Escher "jet bikes" are more or less literally a turbine engine with control surfaces, I'm not sure they are quite in the same technology/wealth class as proper grav-bikes.
That said, the Van Saar got hoverboards, so....

Also, rare is not the same as "important" or "useful" though its often synonymous with "expensive" which can fool people into thinking it is the other two. See: Juicero.

Although, I will give them points for actually finishing the story line, instead of just letting it trail off into oblivion as they usually do.

I for one would have greatly preferred Bratz to Spyrers, even before the weird amputee fetish.

The Aranthian Succession: Spire of Primus has just landed on doorsteps and arrived on shelves in stores around the world, bringing this chapter of Necromunda to a close with a bang. Those of you with a high intelligence stat may have noticed the back of the book mentions nine scenarios, while there are only eight within its pages.

It’s a printing error, but it wouldn’t be right to say there are more scenarios than there are, so the Warhammer Studio have provided a mission to us – and you can download it for free now.

Necromundan proof reading is going as strong as ever then...

Its always fun when someone proclaim a printing error. Its not like the printers edit the text or numbers they get.

Still not as bad as several print runs of A Darkness at Sethanon which had a blurb which was entirely and utterly wrong on almost all the details save the character names.

It's a throwback to when printers actually made up printing blocks from movable letters, when they could (and did) conceivably alter stuff, mostly by forgetting/omitting letters, or ocassionally by using a wrong one.

The Unwilling Warlord by Lawrence Watt-Evans, the paperback edition had a cover picture from an entirely different book.

The MTO terrain is up for order now, in case anyone forgot.

Oof the price hike is pretty intense, most of these were roughly 10-12 GBP per sprue when they were new, now it seems to start at 20 and goes up the smaller the kit is.

Ooof. That is an awful lot to go onto a pile of shame simply because I have plans for them eventually.

Next they invite you to dinner and have you buy the food and cook the meal.

More like they invite you, serve you up after butchering you for the main course, then making you pay for the service, drinks, and tips.
