Oh god, look like the female Van Saar are forever stuck on the Hopscotch pose,

Please let the front plate/top be a separated piece, that pose is terrible.

Lovely models, I can't wait to see the conversions popping up round the web.

They could've put more effort into the photography though- the identical poses are almost all adjacent in the image, really makes it stand out...

Glad I'm not the only one bothered by the model placement.

I'll be picking a set up for sure, they'll make for excellent Imperial Knight pilots.

Oooh, the big gun is a rad-cannon, not a plasma cannon. That explains the odd look.

I do like rad weapons, I am interested to see the rules.

What a time to get into N17. I just bought everything on impluse... and now I know i'll want those Van Saar and GW3.

Do we have any insight into the "quality of life" improvements to the game GW3 claims to make?

Bionics perhaps?

I love the Van Saar, can’t wait to pick them up.

I’ll probably get a box of Van Saars for conversions, but it’s Cawdor I’m really wanting. I hope they’re next.

Question about GSC gangs. Do Neophytes with heavy/special weapons go on 25mm bases like the normal gangers or do they go on 32mm like the Acolytes?

There are two 32mm bases included in the box for the heavies, but they do fit on 25mm if you wish, they just look a bit crowded like Marines used to (ten 25mm and two 32mm bases are included, allowing for choice).

Nice models. (Cha-Ching)

I'll be picking those up.

Does anyone know what weapon the heavy has?



Also does that shield mean they're getting some sort of transparent sprue as well?

The heavy has a rad cannon and the Hrystrar pattern energy shield is indeed transparent, probably treated with a glaze or something to give it that colour.

Love these models so much. Not buying any more Gang War books though, nope. The weird release schedule has arrested all momentum the game had at my club, so I'll be waiting until the Gang War Collected Edition, hopefully at the end of the year, and I'll be treating the game like it's a new release then... with the support needed to make it a game people want to play.

The repeated poses kinda leap out with these guys.

“Dammit Steve you brought a box to step on too????”

I wonder if that's deliberate; this way, no one can then complain about the box being duplicate sprues. It's perhaps just to be up-front about what you get.

I do still like the look of those guys, but I shall possibly wait for some reviews on how the models go together; I loved building the Escher minis as there were a ton of possibilities and didn't particularly care for the Golaith as they really lacked options in pose, so I shall see which side of that spectrum these guys fall on. I imagine the armour lends itself to a freer setup, as unlike the Goliath you don't need to worry about aligning musculature.

Yeah.

If everyone is in a characterful pose, then no one is in a characterful pose.

That box was a bad idea...

With all the extra arms on the sprue you think they could have made an extra foot attached to a different type of container/slag/I-beam/skull. Maybe that’s one of the items forgeworld will provide in the 3 resin upgrades.

The long awaited "underhive footrest" upgrade set. I can picture it now

To be fair though I think the Van Saars are one of the best sets I've seen for a long time. I'm sure it wouldn't take much effort to change the box for something else is even entirely change the poses to get some variety.

The models are not Raging Heroes levels of bad though.

Anyone else thinking of using these guys as scions?

Holy cow, that dog... best cyber dog I've seen since the limited Enforcer...

I hope those cyber ponytails get a specific attack profile,

Have hammer, will travel.

I adore that mini, almost as much as the upcoming Escher bounty hunter with the sweet power axe.

Even FW's patented "Too much fething highlighting!" painting style can't ruin it.

Now that's a model I need

Agreed - I hope you will be able to buy the dog on his own - because I'm going to need more than one of those!

Does FW tend to release Hired Guns in batches? I'd love the Orlock guy with Cyberhound, and the Escher girl with Power-Axe, but there's no way I can eat $12 shipping for a single model, twice. :-p

That's because some damn idjit put all the dupe poses beside each other lol, makes it hard not to see!

Yeah not a smart choice! These leap out more than the Escher and way more than the Goliaths.
