Have we stopped asking if it is plastic/resin, or is it still a thing?

They're saying in the articles now (it's FW resin), so we don't have to have those arguments.

I am convinced that someone on the KT and Necromunda design team is trying to backdoor a new edition of Inquisitor w 28mm minis into existence.

Or they are just palate cleanser models, one offs to try something different when designing.

There’s a definite “yeah, sure!” Rogue Trader level of artistic freedom with them.
A loose set of aesthetic governance, but otherwise go wild with it.
Hence they look like little we’ve seen before, whilst being clearly and unmistakably 40K.

I think one of the features is most of the model is actually custom sculpted for that model,
a lot of the unit stuff (especially marines) appears to be made up from bits from a pre-made 3D library, maybe mirrored or changed to fit together in the desired pose with a limited amount of new content (bit of smoke, gribbly on a backpack etc),
so we see them, they're probably fine but the read as 'seen that before, low effort sculpt), these Necromunda minis are 'not seen that, theyve really made an effort there'

You forgot Steve and Carlos so that's at least eight!  In all seriousness, they're also good for the RPG crowd looking to have a fig for the tabletop even if the game system is more theater of the mind. I've picked up a couple scifi figs for that very reason and have a not-Goliath heavy gunner model ready to go (but as of yet still naked resin/metal/plastic) just in case.

Gosh I hope not. They need to do it right and go back to 54mm miniatures. Those were some of the best GW has ever made.

Do you really want Forgeworld resin 54mm minis? Pretty sure they won't do such low volume models in plastic.

How big are the model masters? If that's still a thing, what with computer design and all that?
They could just release copies of them if they're the right size.

Also, I don’t much fancy having to provide a whole new suite of terrain for 54mm.
28mm I’ve got a variety of terrain and that ready to go.

You'd be surprised how much 40K scale terrain works fine in 54mm, they only ever released 2-3 pieces of specifically 54mm terrain the first time round (and I own two of them). Most of the 40k buildings have such large doorways and wide entrances (because they need to accommodate things like Terminators and things on scenic bases) that Inquisitor models have absolutely no trouble fitting in.
The 54mm community has survived for decades without dedicated terrain, although to be fair a lot of us have moved on to either 3rd party minis or getting 3D printers and upscaling 28mm STLs so I'm not sure there's a huge appetite for suckling from the GW teat that abandoned us in the first place when there are better options available
But yes it is a little...interesting to see the characters that originated in Inquisitor show up in 28mm plastic with increasing regularity, even if it is Josef, probably the worst of the original minis).
So far we've had:
Severina & Sevora
Artemis
Sergeant Stone
Damien 1427
Cherubael
Eisenhorn (kinda)
Preacher Josef
So from the OG (rulebook) lineup that leaves us with Covenant, Tyrus, Devotee Malicant, Quovandius, Slick Devlan, Archmagos Delphan Gruss, Barbaretta and Duke Von Castellan still to go by my reckoning

Or a Venator Gang waiting to happen. Or a Hive Scum Gang.
Is Necromunda. Limits are for Daft Lads
Which doesn’t meant you can cheat like. But it’s a super permissive setting and community.
Pick an Gang Archetype (which is what they ultimately are), stick with it, and pretty much anything goes from there.

Whisper Merchant and Psyhocteric Thrall
Nice enough additions, bring us closer to a complete range, but kinda lacking the WOW! factor of some other previewed models for me.

I like the Whisper Merchant(great biopunk NPC), but the Thrall is really just Some Guy. Which I get is part of the point, but still.

Looks like an ordinary drug-crazed punk who roams the streets of the post-apocalyptic New York in the year 1995.
Don't know why it needs this model as thralls are from other houses and this guy only fits for Orlocks. The Whisper Merchant is cool, though.

They're larger than the old metal models (with better proportions though) and some house gangs are really huge (Goliath) or tall (Delaque, Escher) even compared to 40k models. Other than that you'll find a wide range of sizes like in normal life.

TBF, the Goliath and Escher are both genetically modified branches of humanity, goliath so much that they almost qualify as Abuhuman. Delaque have no excuse though... or do they *dun dun duunnn*...?

Are the parts reasonably workable with 40k guardsmen? Some of the Van Saar looks like it would be fun to mix in.
