Doesn't the Head section of the robot-servitor thing match up with the new Van-Saar masks?

It also has identical chest cables, so, yeah...

Just when you had hope that the game was going to come back with better sculpts, and some new information, they turn it into a drip-drip of less then stellar ideas and just throw spaghetti at the wall to hope something sticks.

But it did, on both counts? And the ideas were pretty stellar so far, and I say it as someone who really dislikes dumb GW ideas half of the time

**Chikout**

I for one am very happy to see the specialist team trying some stuff out of left field. Using the resin sculpts to explore the edges of the 40k universe is a fantastic idea. I really hope they keep this up in the future.
I am not sold on this particular concept yet, but for the most part I have been very impressed by the way the final sculpts have come out. I just wish they would hurry up and release some of the awesome sculpts we saw at the open day.

**streetsamurai**

Wow this is bad. First thing from necro that looks like gak :(

**Oguhmek**

Seems like I'm the only one who thinks it looks awesome? Lots of whining in this thread...

I'd love one of them for my Eschers, although I guess they will come with a hefty (credits) price tag.

**Mr Morden**

We ran a Necromunda demo game with Ambull's at a Games Day back in the day.

Good fun.

**Mymearan**

Looks great, fun idea and I will be getting one for my Escher.

**Clockpunk**

I just wish FW would start releasing some more of the bounty hunters we have seen the minis for. The wait is excruciating...

From Regimental Standard: https://regimental-standard.com/2018/04/18/urgent-recall-of-nihilis-pattern-lasgun/

URGENT RECALL OF NIHILIS PATTERN LASGUN

Attention, Guardsmen!

The Regimental Standard this week brings you an urgent update regarding your lasgun! Following several complaints* from Guardsmen concerning their weapons, an investigation has revealed an operating fault in several lasguns built on Necromunda. The responsible parties have issued an important recall notice. Please consult it at your earliest possible convenience, once any operations involving your lasgun have come to a natural conclusion.

Spotting a Defective Weapon

In the event that the serial number of your weapon cannot be read, the following issues are commonplace to mistakenly issued Nihilis pattern lasguns:

– Above-average Combat Efficacy
– Temperamental Machine Spirit
– No Bayonet Attachment Point
– Unexpected Operator Hair Loss
– Unexpected Operator Death**

What To Do

To resolve your issue, simply return your Nihilis pattern lasgun to your regimental quartermaster. A replacement will be issued in 2-3 months, based on distance from nearest forge world and warp-time dilation on delivery vessels.

As a sign of our deepest contrition for this error, House Van Saar has issued your regiment with a set of almost-new plasma guns for your personal usage, specially locked to the overcharge setting to help you tackle the most dangerous foes.

We hope your regimental quartermasters will continue to choose House Van Saar products for your purging needs.

Remember, Guardsmen – your safety is our priority! We hope you receive both a new lasgun and a fittingly heroic death shortly.

* Usually, the punishment for such whinging would be flogging, but at present all disciplinary corps are otherwise engaged.
** Please note – operator death due to weapon failure does not make you eligible for martyr-class burial or family pension.

**Haighus**

Hehehe.

I wonder how long until the Lexicanum page on lasguns is updated.

**AduroT**

I might have to play Van Saar purely based on that slogan.

**CthuluIsSpy**

That is a cool looking lasgun.
I hope that becomes the standard model.

**Theophony**

So are the recalls real? I mean are they hoping some schmuck AM guy brings his real working lasgun in they tell him a new one will be sent to his platoon in the next 24-48 hours

and then running out the backdrop of the fake trade in location screaming sucker?

**Chopstick**

This is why you only stick the to the pattern approved by the AM

**Cannibal**

Wait, M35-M40? That's a 500 year product recall window!

**BrookM**

Add another zero and we're good.

**zamerion**

Maybe next week (28) preorder?

If an AM guardsman turned in a 5,000 year old lasgun for the recall, what would they do with it?
Hang it on the wall as a relic?
Strip it down for parts to spread the luck around?
Stick a gold-coloured shiny on it as an achievement badge?

**Pacific**

Haha very good - have to say love the concept with the new Van Saar, it's definitely something a bit different.

Yes you have to think soon now!

Still working on my chaos cult.

Does anyone have a good miniature of THIS guy?

Necromancer from Mortis Engine or Zombie Cart?

With some green stuff to scar up the eyes, I guess.

Bear clan mystic from Blood Rage? http://gmortschaotica.blogspot.com/2015/10/unboxing-blood-rage-mystics-of-midgard.html

Not sure how he'd scale with Necromunda, probably a bit tall and thin, but that might be ok.

Bloodbowl is 28th. Maybe the week after.

Or even later than that, when they preview GW3 on their twitch channel then we'll know we're at the very least nearing the release. As of now we don't even know what the cover art for the book is and that's not a good sign, thus I don't think it will be releasing any sooner than the very end of next month. It seems they might release the blood bowl stuff alongside deepkin, but anything necromunda is still 3+ weeks away from what I can tell. I'm also irked with forgeworlds release schedule for necromunda, did they ever release the squat and water vampire characters? I don't think they did and it feels like ages ago they had those on display. Plus the goliaths are still waiting on their weapons, and god knows when Orlocks will get theirs. They seem to really struggle to release things, plus with the failure of the skullcracker mold (how'd they not see that coming) makes me wonder...

Twitch.

Orlock and GW2 was release with shadespire bands. This time it could be necro + BB.

**Chopstick**

If next week stream is GW 3 preview then maybe. They probably want Van Saar out a few week before London GT

I was thinking about this.
If next week will be only BB, why speak about it one week before and not the same preorder week. Maybe because this week they will talk about necro.
they are just my supposition. jeje

**Chikout**

The Deepkin are getting five weeks of pre-orders. The free art cards are part of a five card series. This is a very long release window for an AoS Army. It makes a lot more sense if we are getting Deepkin plus other stuff each week. I could imagine a week of Deepkin and bloodbowl, a week of Deepkin and van saar, and a week of Deepkin plus Harlequins. We should start to see info from the next white dwarf next weekend which will tell us more.

**Ghaz**

According to Warhammer Community, the Van Saars go on preorder on the 28th.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Love those dice!

And oh dear....it’s payday on Monday!
