I have to agree, they are a bit too big. They look tons of fun to paint though.

They look chunky, but not tall. Their armour is massive, which I think is fine.

Size comparison. I still think they should have been smaller but I'll definitely buy some as I like the look of the kit I can tell these will be very enjoyable to paint.

How do they compare against other Necromunda models, though? Aren't they a bit taller than 40k, in general?

Can't wait to see the VDR rules, I'll have to pick this up when I'm in NY this summer.

We have a chart to finish!



I'm thinking the Bane Lord missile launcher tank, and the Shadow Hammer for indirect artillery. Doom Blade is obviously the all heavy bolter tank.

Anyone have a good comprasion between the Necromunda Squats and actual humans, from straight-ahead so it's actually usable as a size comparison?

Bane lord is already claimed.

How do the new Necromunda Squats compare to Grendlesen or Gunnstein?

Grendlesen and Gunnstein are dead.

(I'll get my coat)

Darn that Richard Dreyfus. Darn him to heck.

GSC up next week! I've been waiting for this one placed here cos there isn't a GSC thread and also not enough GSC news to make justify one. Anyway, GSC are a very nice base for a Necro gang, esp now that bikes and buggies and trucks are relevant to the game. Best kits for Necro, whether running them as GSC or just headswapping them into a different faction.

Yeah Shadow Hammer should have a Goliath cannon on it.

I used Neophytes as the basis for my ash waste Orlocks and love the models(esp bikes/quad). They're relatively easy to de-xenofy, and take necro upgrades well(minimal fiddling). Pretty much I'm gonna use most of the range for my Orlocks

I'm thinking I'll do the Skitarii vanguard headswap for one of my gangs, the Neophyte bodies, weapons, and arms are so great and they fit a number of architypes with a simple headswap.

Notice how all Ash Wastes Nomads start with Ash Cloak that includes the effect of Respirator? And they all have Respirator available for purchase in the gang equipment table.

They can buy 'scavenged' (aka reclaimed) stub gun (without plentiful) for the low price of normal stub gun. But most of them have full access to Trading Post and can get normal stub gun there. Are players voluntarily nerfing themselves and buying the worse gun for the same price as the normal?

This was my first thought.
Aren’t regular Necromunda Humans bigger than regular (recent released) humans in 40k?

The Squats do look nice, despite being pretty hench. I've half a mind to pick up a box and convert a transport for them from the shiny new Deimos Rhino. It'd be a lot of fun to add a whole bunch of wasteland survival gear, Squat artisan modifications, and maybe even a flatbed trailer for lugging one of their exosuits with.

I want a Helllord, if only for the chance to put three "l"s next to each other.

Why oh why would you give me these ideas.... I dont want to buy a rhino!

Sounds like a wicked fun project!

Yes you do… Rhinos are fun to play with!



I really like the idea of the heavy armour support trailer!

Good news! The chart has been updated!

Thanks to James Hewitt on Facebook!

Logically, the Stormblade should have been called the Hellsword and the Stormlord should be in the Stormblade slot. Also, the Legion Fachion should be called the Fellsword while the Legion Glaive slots in neatly at Doomsword.

Doing that removes the whole “Lord” column for use on Titans, as is only proper, but still leaves some unfurnished locations.
What would a Shadowblade, Shadowhammer, Fellhammer, and Doomblade look like? And can we come up with a decent tank version of the hellblade?

I have trademarked StormGlaive. Coming late 2022!

I still prefer the older variants: The Swordhammer and the Bladeblade!

What about the mirror chart? You know, the one with the bladebane and and swordshadow?

You need to be careful mixing tanks and anti-tanks. When they come together they annihilate one other

Well, theoretically yes, but in nature it tends to come down to which one has the first turn.

Logically the Blade Bane would be heavily armored tank whose defenses blunt even the fiercest attacks.

The Sword Shadow sounds to me like a support vehicle that trails the warrior tank and assists.

Hammer Storm for sure is an AoS endless spell

Lord Shadow is a metal band isn't it?

Not all fighter entries allow access to the Trading Post for weapons, just for wargear. Most standard Ganger and Juve types are like this and they're limited to the weapons available in their entries. Presumably Nomads follow a similar principle so their Gangers/Juves would only have the scavenged ones available.

Lords of Shadow was a Castlevania game so… pretty close.
