GW quietly discontinued the gang leader accessories pack. I'm absolutely livid about this. I was planning on picking it up this month and they just drop it without warning. Now there isn't a way to get access to those tokens and updated scenarios in a good physical format. The least they could have done is tell me it was lctb or given me a chance to get it before it goes.

Aye, looks like they have. I wonder if they're preparing for some sort of end year expansion box or almanac style pack?

I never even saw it in my local shop, so i assumed it wasn't out yet.
And now I'm reading it has been discontinued.

I’m pretty sure it was Forge World, so wouldn’t have been in local shops.

Forge world has become a REMOVED in regards to Necromunda. IMO. GW should have just let the factory crank out this stuff in plastic, and sell it through Special order.

Its obvious that they just can't carry the load. That … nontroversy... with the Cawdors didn't do them any favors. To me, its just that Forgeworld can't handle the product.

Discontinued, or just out of stock?

I remember when it went on sale that it sold out pretty quickly, then came back a few months later.

They have removed any reference to it from the Games Workshop website (links from google return a 404 page) so presumably discontinued.

Maybe it'll come out in plastic?

I remember my first time painting a model...

Jeeze seriously they couldn't have tidied this up just a touch?? The single worst painted Necro mini put up as marketing bar none, where was QC on this one??

It must be Take Your Kid to Work Day at the 'eavy metal studio...
The model looks great though (I think...). Love the multi eyes.

The rules are forever changing. They probably dropped the leader's accessories pack because the quick reference sheets will be outdated/incorrect by the time the next rules update is released (GW5 and/or a possible compendium).

Haven't looked at the original quick reference sheets from the starter box, but it is probably not valid any longer.

Was excited by the art work, this final sculpt is very lack

I had a feeling that would happen, luckily I pre-order everything Necromunda just in case (is a specialty game, I am of the feeling everything is limited edition so always get anything I want immediately/pre-order). In the pack, the wound tokens look different from the normal wound tokens (I like symmetry) and there wasn't many of the other tokens etc anyway so wasn't a big loss if you didn't get it tbh.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I know it looks like they are on the initial exotic beast release: Sumpkroc, Phyrr Cat, Cyber-mastiff, Caryatid and Cyberachnid (GW3). I hope they do a community release of each model every couple of days and release all at once (especially while the shipping deal is on) otherwise I will wait out for this if it is just one model. I am really waiting for the house brutes (GW4), those are what I want. I would risk not getting the beasts tbh if are limited (can easily covert them from other models) and wait for the house brutes to be released. The kroc looks ok but not enough to order without a lot more I want.

After the drought when Blood Bowl was released, I tend to do the same, in fear that stuff will be indefinitly sold out again (took a year until some products came back in stock, and when they did, some were even different).

How are the wound tokens different? Noticed that they better utilized the chaos/insanity tokens with a different token on the flip-side. Too bad they didn't think of that for the original chaos tokens! There's also a few tokens there I simply don't know what means.

The leader's accessories pack is not only quick reference but also as stealth errata. GW have been criticized for selling this, when parts of it should be available for free as a pdf.

Where are the Delaque??? Seems it's been decades since the last gang release

Trench coat gang were among my favourites.

If they don't come next month they're not coming till 2019, GW generally does not release new product in December.

That’s not true any more. Last year the blood angels and dark angels codexes and the the elf union bloodbowl team all came out in December. The year before the entire Thousand son range came out in December.
I have a feeling we will see Delaque at Spiel, where gw said they would have a preview event.

They will show next BB team (they said it in a twitch) so possibly delaque too.

Does anyone know what time the seminar will be?

You got a link? (I searched for games workshop but got nothing).

I'd like to see the raw resin for the Sumpkroc. I have a feeling the paintjob is doing it no favours at all.

Well, the image is exploded to maybe 5 or 6x its IRL size, and the pure white background canvas is a bit jarring. Still, I think GW normally take this stuff into account. Maybe some of the ire for this paintjob should be directed towards the FW photographer?

That might fly if it was this one thing, it's not, and they only have one painter on retainer atm IIRC. One shonky image is chance, two is the photographer, after dozens of them it's probably time to start looking at the objects being photographed as the culprit.

Here. Looks perfectly good if it gets a proper paintjob. I'm thinking Nile Crocodile should do nicely.

I wonder if Tortoise (Steve Bedford IIRC) still works there. They don't seem to have a studio sculptors info page anymore, but I bet he paints stuff in his downtime that many people would rate higher than official paintjobs. Totally different style but I'm sure he could adapt http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics15/img4e588b584ae6c.jpg

You guys are some harsh critics.

I thought it was a decent paint job. Better than I can accomplish anyways...

I'm with you there. Don't see 'owt wrong with it.

It is not "studio quality." And most companies like to show their models with a high-level paintjob.

That said, there is a possibility that the developers are intentionally painting at a simpler style to show what the average gamer might be able to do.

Want to see a side on view as the drawing looked to have a longer more defined snout but might be the angle of the mini

Where the heck have the Cawdor weapon upgrades disappeared to?! I thought they were meant to be coming out weeks ago!
