Looks like it's easier to find a mutie to lobotomize and wear as rucksack.

My wallet will hate me when all the recent minis get released

I'm girding my wallet for the release of the next book, and the new Squats.

How long does it typically take for GW to go from the preview article first showing a Necro mini to the time it's actually available for purchase?

As long as a piece of string is short.

Basically its hard to say. Sometimes its the very next release window; sometimes its a few weeks later; might even be a month later. The Knight Bundle packs for AI took several months (though that was abnormal).

You can roughly say that GW operates in 3 month windows from preview events that they hold whilst on the webstore I'd normally kind of expect 1-2 months for anything previewed there with a skew toward the shorter end.

So basically what you're saying is keep following the thread here then... I almost got out my sewing kit! Thanks for the info in all seriousness.

The mysterious Ty Onmyodo Coven is here to stalk the underhive

If GW were a sensible company they would want me to buy loads of these to stuff into an Inquisitorial Retinue or Rogue Trader bodyguard for 40k.

(A boltgun does feel like a slightly odd weapon for the Null though, even if Cyberpunk-esque enhanced.)

Very funky!

Also of interest? A collar which can suppress a Psyker, and one that can suppress a Blank?

We already know blank-suppression exists; Culexus wear a supercharged version to prevent their mere presence breaking the warp drive of their transports. That one can also be reversed to amplify their abilities, to power the animus speculum doom beams.

From that I don’t think psychic suppression is too far-fetched even if it’s really crude like implanting relays between the psykers mind and the mutant brain lobe that powers the ability.

Or... hear me out... they could put a half dozen of the most wanted models in an expensive boxed set packed with many more minis almost no one wants for a one shot game that will see little to no support after release and it'll sell out in seconds! I think my scenario is more likely.

Don't like the masks on either of those at all. Both look very weird in not a good way.

I like the models, though I wish they'd stuck closer to the original artwork for the masks. Nice to see that they might finally be getting round to some more of their backlog of Noble/Guild Allied parties. House Ty was the last one to get rules and that was 3 years ago now.

these are both fantastic, as usual

Looks like the new Necromonday is more reliable than the Heresy Thursday.

Well, those ladies are... special.

Also some potential for a Farseer conversion. Perhaps as a Ynnari?

If you snip the sword pipes off then the bolter lady is awesome.

Those are extraordinarily pretty miniatures

Love the artwork for them, the silhouettes and designs of both models, but the way their faces are painted isn't doing a whole lot for me.
Not to say I'd paint them better, but something isn't clicking there for me.

Of these specific models, or of similar ones?

After all, there'll be nothing stopping you buying multiple sets once they're released - well, aside from GW's ability to keep them in stock, anyway.

It looks like the psyker has buck teeth, or is attempting to go for a Bugs Bunny look at the very least.

I would paint the whole face as a mask, with a disturbing Heath Ledgers Joker smile.

I don't care for the House Ty models.

Something in the art did not carry over, especially the face/masks.

Also, the Nihon/Dragon Isle "inspiration" is too strongly realworld.
It makes them feel like Cyberpunk ported into Necromunda.
It doesn't feel like a natural growth of those ideas mixed with 40k.

Agreed w skrulnik, a bit hamfisted way of folding them in

That's my one gripe with them too. The art made them look way less overtly aggressive and I prefer that. Similar to how the House Greim models are posed.

That said, I really want the Ran Lo Auditors to drop now.

I would have preferred something with less strong (but still visable) japanese vibes, such as my Hannya:

Has GW's webstore update timing changed over the past couple years? I figured I'd see if the beefcake hireling was up for preorder and I seem to get a blank page for pre-orders regardless of region (tested US and GB). Didn't they use to update around lunchtime/early afternoon on Saturdays in years past? Admittedly I haven't followed new releases in years so things may have changed.

It's normally around 10am localtime for the stores region that it updates. It is close to Christmas so it might just be that something got delayed or such.

Thanks. I just didn't know if the schedule changed permanently in years past and I was looking on the wrong day for example.

"Christmas is just around the corner, so there are no Saturday pre-orders this week."

Thanks! I guess I chose the exact wrong week to start looking, lol.
