I certainly hope it's the release date, but I'd settle for the preorder date. It'll be nice to have some Orlocks assembled (though not yet painted), by the end of next month.

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

The dates the poster on the French forum gave are all release dates. They said 10th for Malign portents and we already know their preorder is the 3rd. So preorder 10th release 17th will be the date for the Orlocks.

You're right. And the price is the same like the other gang.

As those Orlock boxes are meant to be compatible with the Genestealer Cult upgrade kit I may need to get a couple of extra ones to add some biker cultists to my army.

So my Dakka name gets me the Gallows Belles for Escher and the Grime Bolts for Goliath. Not bad names IMO

Dakka Name: Escher - Violet Terrors, Goliath - Violent Torches

RL Name: Escher - Caustic Lionesses, Goliath - Chain Lunatics

As a long-time Necromunda fan, I'm still hesitating to get excited about this. I just can't agree with the silly Gang War book idea and such a dead slow trickle of content.

As it stands now I'll probably just buy a box of Cawdor or two when they arrive and play old Necromunda - just can't be assed to buy a half dozen books to play the game as I used to. If they release a proper collected-rulebook at some point perhaps.

GW is just doing a terribly good job of making this not attractive. Shame too since the minis look stellar (despite me not being moved by the first three gangs).

Someone said that the orlocs where very conpatable with GSC models. I see they have the same leggings as the GSC miners. What weapons are on the spruce?

There're 5,6 posts below it that should give you the answer, but I'll give you one anyway.

-2 autogun
-3 shotgun/combat shotgun (orlock have access to both)
-4 stub gun
-3 autopistol
-3 knife arm
- 1 servo claw
-1 harpoon launcher
-1 heavy stubber
-1 sawn off shotgun

The box have 2 sprue so you got double of that

Hydra Terrors on Dakka and the Neon Graces in real life.

Neon Graces is kinda cool actually.

Definitely going to keep my eye on those Orlocs if they work well with the GSC stuff. Those were pretty compatible with the Admech guys as well if I remember correctly...

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.

The rumored Chaos and GS Cult rules makes me think they're aware they have a hit and there's a hunger for more gangs.

Maybe we'll also see rules for Storm Troopers, Inquisition or IG/PDF?

Very much agreed, sadly.

I get that, but if this is the price of the game being sustained long-term, it's one I'm happy to go with.

As for a collected rulebook? Look to the Bloodbowl Almanac - collects Death Zone Season 1 & 2, WD articles, and I think a smidge of new content?

Wait.. are you tell me that gang war 2 going have just orlock and expansion in it and basic rule are in book 1 from box set ?
Ugh don’t think I’ll buy the game until there are better boxset include all rule.

From what I understand Gang War 2 is Orlocks, Hired guns, expanded trading post and new scenarios. I suspect when all the house gangs are covered we might see a "Season one" type book with everything in, but that is more of a hope than anything else.

Assuming I use the second name I mostly use with my dakka name I get;

Escher : Neon Shadows
Goliath : Nightmare Skulls

Gang War 2 also introduces additional tiles and rules for Zone Mortalis type games.

As I said when we first got a clear idea of how this is gonna work, for me this will sink or swim on the content.

I'm not adverse to DLC when it's stuff like Automatron or Far Harbor for my beloved Fallout 4 - hours of extra game play and gadgets.

And so far, from what I've gathered about Gang War 2, I'm ok paying a few quid for expanded rules and options.

But if in the future it boils down to 'here's like, a rush article and some ammo rules, lol', I likely won't be ok with it.

While the show release schedule is irksome, it really doesn't affect how I'll buy. I'll pick up all the Gang War books and the gangs whose looks I like.

Cawdor will almost certainly be one of them

The game is solid, and the miniatures are useful both for the game and the RPG.

New scenario this month.
..next month....

So Chaos or Genestealer Cult? I suspect GSC as it ties in nicely with the Orlock release.

Cool! Requires the new tiles though :(

.. I believe it's called "The Gauntlet" but one is not 100% sure on that or the details.

This release looks pretty good, hopefully those resin weapon kits are shown off this weekend. Along with a solid preview of gang 4. The only downer about this release is the higher than expected cost of the new tiles. My tiles from the core box are kind of starting to show wear, and I haven't even played 4 games. The edges are starting to peel in the corners and they don't seem very tough or long lasting. So what was it, 40 usd for some friggin card?

Seems kind of ridiculous to me. Another issue is I hope they are packaged well cause if the carrier is rough then expect some kinked and bashed in edges and corners upon opening.

That's just why you get 3 sets of tiles...


... no I'm not biased!!!

The Orlock Guy with the Harpoon looks like Euron Greyjoy from Game of Thrones ;-)

With the leaked scan of the white dwarf scenario pages, that is exactly right.
