I'm hoping we do get a compendium book if they release a new Outlanders type starter set in the future. My only complaint with Necromunda is shuffling all the books, and if they do keep expanding to new factions we can't be expected to carry around 10+ books for a skirmish game.
You have no problem that you might find different results depending on your shuffling? Let's say you got book 1, 2, 3 and the same rule in 3 versions x, y ,z. Laid out in this fashion:
book 1, rule version x book 2, rule version y book 3, rule version z
So let's say you are looking for this rule, your result would depend on which book you found it in. So if you want to know the range of a lasgun or the strength of a rad gun, it not only depends what book you're looking in, it also depends which page in the same book!
To me, this is much worse than having 6 books, 2-3 white dwarf, 100 cards, a box full of tokens and templates and 4 pdfs. I can make useful quick-reference sheets or rules compilations, but it is impossible for me to know whether harpoon launcher's long range is 12" or 18" depending of whether you look in Gang War 4, page x or page y, or Gang War 3 page z...

I just noticed that the Sumpkroc comes a with a 40mm Necromunda base it’s the first on a 40mm base isn’t it? the base looks to be plastic in the unpainted images I wonder if they'll sell them separately as I need a few that size to match up the bases of other stuff.

Judging by the unpainted pic, the base is the standard plastic grey by the looks of it. Either way he's quite a big boy.
The 40mm Necromunda base was expected ever since they released the arc of fire template for it. We already got arc of fire templates for 25mm & 32mm in the starter box.
It's strange why they decided to make Necromunda bases in the first place, as the already existing Sector Mechanicus bases look better and matches the terrain. I tend to mix and match between the two, and so I already got 40mm bases for brutes/ogryns using the SM ones.

Aside from Goliath the other gang use 25mm, which Sector Mechanicus didn't have.
And for Sector Imperialis, many people complain that they have very shallow detail.
The necro base have much sharper detail than Sector imperialis, and also more affordable. But I'd gladly trade all the budget for those bases for plastic weapon pack.
Delaque should in theory release alongside the undead BB team. I really think they should be unveiled at the seminar today. It's going to be really concerning for me if they don't.
You missed the other important part finally a rules compendium
The Necromunda Rulebook is your essential guide to the game itself, combining the rules found in the Necromunda: Underhive boxed set with a host of content from Gang War and updated with the latest feedback from the FAQs and Errata. Meanwhile, the Gangs of Necromunda supplement contains rules for all six of the House Gangs, plus Hangers-on, Brutes, the trading post and more.
These books are your one-stop shop for rules and are perfect for both veteran fans looking for an easy reference for their battles and juves looking to take their first steps in the underhive. If you’re looking to get started, Necromunda: Underhive is still a great way to do so, but now, you’ve got the option of kicking off your first campaign with one of the other gangs who’ve joined the fray, like House Orlock or Cawdor.
They look good but the poses are meh. Especially the one with two slightly oversized pistols in both hands. And the top right one doing a monkey walk or something. The lack of any of them aiming down a lasgun or autogun is a bummer. Not sure I like them more than cawdor or van saar cause those kits have some solid poses. Glad to see the two updated books though....looks like a must buy for me.
What a double whammy with the Cawdor and now these. What a brilliant take on Delaque, wasn't expecting the Deus Ex vibe. Creepy bastards they are! Only thing I like less are the guns, they look oversized. But might also be that these guys are very thin and small, like the Van Saar.
I'll agree..great looking figures on their own. Don't scream Delaque to me, but I suppose that's all part of the redesign. As an avid Cawdor fan (followed closely by Delaque) I'm..."okay" with the redesigns of both.
I really don't know what to think of those Delaque. They're awesome looking miniatures, but they're certainly not what i expected or hoped for. I expected more trenchcoats and goggles than sort of futuristic dystopian sci-fi robes and augmented-eye-like goggles. A sort of Matrix or Equilibrium vibe is what i thought they'd have, not something quite to that extent. Their weapons seem a bit too big for them as well, they look odd on them and with the way they're held.
