So GW's long term plan is to muscle out all fan made content by just writing official rules for everything ever?

You almost make it sound like it's a bad thing.

But hey, I can certainly see the appeal in them doing everything.

Nah, I like models for everything. It will still be up to us to rewrite the rules so they're functional and balanced anyway

Might buy 2 of each if any of these concept turn out to be plastic.

Only downside to all these sweet looking concepts is being able to get them into wider distribution.

Looks like I'll be making a forgeworld order in the near future, doesn't it?

I hope GW/FW/BL get round to producing a big Necromunda background book(or series) at some point. They have obviously put a lot into that side internally.

If the augmented bounty hunter Slagmyst looks anything like the art, then he'll be an auto-buy. I love 2 of the 3 hired guns and all of the gang animals.

Glad you like the pics guys - my Twitter feed has blown up a little today!
In terms of other tidbits;
Andy Hoare mentioned that he wants to show that the different settings (Hive Secundus, Hive Mortis, The Sump Sea, Eye of Selene) will all ‘play’ in different ways (example was given that Hive Secundus should be more survival horror with rad-infested remnants of the GS Cult who still live in the ruins).
There was mention of the reintroduction of Juves - with specific ‘talents’ to differentiate them from older gangers. But keep them in the style of the new rules
Weapon expansion packs will lead to the stores and Rare stores lists expanding, but don’t expect to see Plasma guns, lascannons etc... the intent is to give more ‘weaponised’ civilian kit in the way the lists do now, with very rare or even unique pieces making their way in and small amounts.
Xerox races are being kept out, as to introduce them would ‘zoom out’ from the idea of Necromunda (so don’t expect to see Eldar or Kroot bounty hunters for example).however abhumans are fair game.
Same goes for Inquisitors - seen as being far too powerful
The Crocodog is on a 40mm base!
Caryatids are a call back to the OG Confrontation days, and attach themselves to those who become great, or Carry out great deeds....
The FAQ for the core rule book and GW is incoming very shortly.

Sounds good to me!

Thank you Art for the quality pictures and play by play of the event!

Jesus, Emperor Mary mother of Sanguinius, every bit of this Necromunda stuff is just delicious, I shall enjoy digesting it all.

Seriously I want all of this right now.

Thank you very much for the pics!

#Perfection.

They're going to do Brutes down the road, including a Labor Ogryn.

I can't wait until the Delaque are actually in plastic and i''m digging the concept art.

Oh man, I am excited by N17 and was planning on getting everything but looks like they are rapidly going to explode the content, may come a little too quick to keep up painting with at this rate... that being said, if they are all priced as reasonably as the 3 bounty hunter box... well this may yet latch its vampiric fangs into my wallet on every release...

Indeed. At times like this, I feel like this:

Only thing that makes me sad is the no Xenos. I was wondering if Necro 2.0 was actually Rogue Trader 2.0, but this is going in cool new directions. I think a lot of this stuff will end up in painters and RPGers hands. In fact I'd hope the new RPG crew brings out a Necromunda setting/adventure book.

Any hope for a Shadow War 2.0 game using the same rules and "gang" strategies as a replacement for Kill Team...

To be fair, if Xenos showed up in Necromunda I don't think the gangs would stand a chance. Or the hive in general.

I think I saw something on cults in this thread, but I missed orks.
GSC isn't the same as a full blown alien invasion though. I think most hives might have them, as it seems logical that the nids would want to infiltrate as many worlds as possible, even if it would take them a while to get to them.
Not sure how they could do an ork infestation, because that's a pretty serious incident. Orks are a bitch to remove from a world once they get there due to their spores.

I think they said one of the hives was the site of an Ork invasion and was suffering from the respawning Ork thing.

......This new stuff is waaaay too cool. If the minis live up to the art, I may be interested in Van Saar and Delaque for the first time ever. The guild stuff all looks fantastic. And I have to have that Ex-Goliath Bounty hunter......and that sumpcroc. Now if FW will just put the pedal to the metal and start giving Andy and co a bit more resource to really start churning this stuff out....they'll be making money hand over fist off me.

I will be very impressed if GW manage to create functional vehicle rules for the Ash Wastes that work in the alternating activations system. I've been struggling since N17 released.

Now that would be something indeed.

Simply speechless. I like everything.

Is there information on how the guilds will go?If they are gangs, or extra miniatures to the gang, or somethingggg

Man this is gonna be an expensive year, the cawdor concept looks exactly how I wanted them to turn out...same with the rest.

Wait, wait, wait, who allowed such a brilliant thing as the water guild to be made?! Awesome stuff. Brutes sound interesting.

I can dig the new Delaque, but I shope that Cawdor will still have some with the full hoods and masks. The Eschers are making sure that Ratskins never come back with all the feathers and more tribal decoratios, eh? I like those dudes. I still beat myself up over not getting the Rat Caller.

I need this model.

I can see the ratskins being OK; the Escher don’t seem to be into full pelts as an adornment and look to prefer feathers anyway.
Big ol’ rat-pelt as both hood and cloak is sufficiently different I think. Plus they can play up the archaeotech-cult/lost tribe of maintenance workers angle with circuit-board chest guards and circuit-pattern tattoos. And shamen with actual functioning gear.

I'd be mega chuffed if they'd also do this one in model form, unless that's Belladonna and I forgot about it.
