Legacy gang have access to better guns than the current new gang without having to go to the trading post.

And that is... good or bad?

Legacy gangs might not be the most fun (old kit, outdated kit, no unique weapons yada yada...) gang but they hold themselves well against the newer gangs. If not better due to their slightly smaller size. Necromunda was never meant to be balance. You could have the best setup but wouldn't matter if you roll bad, run out of ammo, character get dragged away, etc....

They are releasing to the constraints they have.

If the choice is between

a) specialist games being ignored for the next decade
b) one gang a quarter for the next few years and it taking a year before we have the first 9 gangs and a properly fleshed out campaign system

then I know which I'm choosing.

That "no rules unless we're already selling a mini" constraint is... really, really annoying. And bad, in a game where you could avoid it with a bit of kitbashing of minis of the 40k lines...

And they've released rules. You have the legacy gangs

Ultimately, having to check 2 books (so far) and at least one pdf supplement to play a game because they have apparently loaded the rules in a shotgun is not very fun. And it will only get worse.

Hopefully, one-two years from now they'll release a new one-book version of the game. That would be something I'd buy.

It is a damned shame that House Orlock weren't released alongside the core box (as the Skavenblight Scramblers were with Bloodbowl) - just to provide that little bit of variety. But still... I cannot wait to get hold of them. Here's hoping the new tileset offers plenty of interesting rules - certainly looks great.

GW 1 : Campaign + 3D + 6 scenarios
GW 2 : Orlock + "Dramatis Personae" + extented shop + scenarios
WD : genestealer cult gang, chaos cult gang + bounty hunter gung

With the rumors :
GW 3 : gang4 (Van Saar?) + infinity shop + ???

And these are just suppositions, for the next books, in 2018, we will can have :
gang5 (Cawdor?), gang6 (Delaque?), scenarios, hive secondus, pets, ratskin mercenary, more mercenary (mec, doc, etc.), outdoor rules (vehicules, weather, etc), psyker (with Delaque), etc.

So, I think that's a lot of stuff for the year ^^

GW2 also contains rules for the new tile set (Released in March) I believe.

The tempo of the game and sitting around holding your Johnson, while waiting for .... the half hearted effort that is on par with having a M4 full mag and optics and just using a musket laying there to shoot at people with.

My advice- ignore this gakky tempo and play with what you have, and introduce the new stuff as it comes out. Necromunda has always been a players game. Use the rules loose, and have fun with your gangs. Whoever the assclown is that came up with this idea of release with a crappy book with partial rules is joking. We have full time Necromunda stuff already in play, why would we say- "Hey, you can't play until the book comes out".... o.O

I already have a Grot invasion gang, the Chaos Goliaths, now with added demon support, and the Poxwalkers infesting territories, with Plagbearer support.

Now we have to roll off before game to see if the Nurgle cultists pop up, basses of Nurglings, or a plague bearer. The deeper the expedition, the deeper the threats.

A great campaign hook is to add in a chaos gang, with a ladder threat up to, and including a Nurgle Squad of marines. ( use your own chaos love, the Poxwalkers worked great for me. This one played out like Assault on Precinct 13. about half of my gangers bought it, but damn was it a good fight.

Use them now. play with the Shadow War rules. That means a squad of different iterations of genestealer cultiists ands hybrids. Use 1 or 2 purestrains and make sure you reference Rule #1. 10 Genestealers are more then enough work for a full squad of Marines, so remember that your fighting a gang.

Not sure, it’s not out yet.

Necromunda

The House of Iron is returning to Necromunda, and soon - are you ready? Let us know if you're going to be collecting the new Orlocks, already own a gang from editions past, or are preparing your gang to deal with some new foes...

from facebook, so it's getting close

Gotta love those murder, arson and jaywalking lists of crimes.

They are good, but they are using the same jokes much too often. I think all of them were wanted for the crime of being impolite (was funny at first, but now it's ''rechauffé'')

I do like the offensive facial hair one though

It is still a feudal society, so being impolite to a noble is still quite up there with murder and breaking & entry.

Again, a new scenario.

Reading the Warhammer Community site they mention the new WD has a new scenario and also that the paint splatter in the issue features the new Orlocks. I'm guessing that means the Orlocks will be out in February and not March? I'm not overly familiar with how WD works now, but I don't think they do paint splatters on models that are yet to be released (or that are not coming out that month). Here's hoping for Orlocks in February and Genestealer cult rules in March.....we need more gangs!

I’m really hoping they have a faster release schedule than blood bowl, the orlocks are a good start but as mentioned they should have been there for release.

I wonder if there's any way of persuading them to not print any further books with headache inducing dark grey text on medium grey backgrounds.

They have to. if not you are losing on new year sales, as well as another moths with no Necromunda action. Drip, Drip, Drip....

Ork gang is next. Looking at adding in Ork infested Spyer, and the Pox Walkers in the bottom. Roll a 4-6, then roll another 6 to see how many show up. All you need is to add a cheap box of Poxwalkers to begin with for a hair raising side scenario...

The beard are moustache is apparently a crime : "offencive facial hair" LOL

No, but yes. It's just Gang War 2, like they announced in end of november, but we will have new scenarios in GW2
And we will also have rules for Orlock, "Dramatis Personae", extented shop, and rules for new tiles.

from WD web:

The Gauntlet: A new mission for Necromunda: Underhive

Hoping the new hired guns & Orlocks get released soon. This has been the longest month ever...

An article on naming your gang is up: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/01/28/naming-necromunda-gang/

Weird, same date I’ve been seeing for the new Shadespire boxes.

Is that the preorder or release date?

In the french forum, He has not said it, so it could be the release.

Maybe preorders:
3- aos
10- orlocks
17- shadespire.

But I'm not sure
