So this popped up in my FB feed

Man, Artel W works fast

I mean, the rules have been out 3 years. Might have had the sculpt in his casting backlog.

Apparently this model's been out a while and based on the art.

Still made me laugh, good job Artel social media team!

I've had the Artel model for over a year....

Infinity-looking bastard. Remember when gangs weren't hyperadvanced?

Finally!

That means two more Brutes to go, if you don't count the Delaque Spyker as one.

Cool a TAG complete with tactical debris!

But isn't being hyper advanced and still a gang basically Van Saar's whole thing?

Frickin' finally!

But... where's the fourth arm?

But the Spyker is a Brute. On account it’s a Brute?

And the alternative piccies.

That's a much chunkier model than I think most of us expected.

Yea good times. I really preferred it when it was street thugs fighting for scraps and not 6+ high tech militaries that would give the AdMech a run of their money somehow all hiding in the Underhive while contributing absolutely nothing to the Imperium.

It's not anymore. House of Shadows downgraded it to a Hanger On...

The one grabbing the tactical rock?

It looks like one of his legs his bent behind him.

Took me a hot minute to work out the pose. Didn't realise it was running, thought the lower right arm was the right leg. Now that I understand how it actually looks, I'm wondering what happened to the pilot's legs

A closed cockpit option?

That makes Van Saar smarter than the Grey Knights or Space Marines!

Yeah, but even in the original Necromhnda, gangs rapidly progressed to stupid levels of plasma and heavy firepower. If anything, the background just aligned a bit more with the reality of the game

They really should have taken a better photo; I think most people assumed that was a leg on the rock. Knowing its an arm makes me less concerned about the leg positions though. And I wouldn't put it past a necromunda gang to saw off their friend's legs to make them fit in a suit better

It's a cool looking power armor but I think I prefer the art they show at the link more. I like the aesthetic of using the wearer's legs with the bulky backpack limbs providing additional locomotion instead of what looks more like a full gyro harness on the model.

Oh, yes. You're right. I misinterpreted the pose.

Don't be sexist. The women of the grimdark were pioneers in this field and you're erasing their achievements.

Is the closed cockpit really making you safer when chances are it locks you in with whatever deadly radiations and gases and more that the machines engine likely releases every moment!
