I'm still bemused by how few lasguns there have been in all the packs, given there's obviously people who would like to use the Necromunda gangs as Guard for 40k.

I'd wager that's entirely deliberate, precisely to prevent people using Guard models in Necromunda.

I'm pretty sure there's a similar reason why Daemons don't exist in Kill-Team. You can use them in AoS and you can use them in 40K so you can't use them in KT because [Expletive Deleted] you, that's why.

This theory makes so little sense that I'm wondering if you mis-typed your belief.

People can easily use Guard models in Necromunda, precisely because something like a 4:1 lasgun:plasmagun gang is a perfectly viable Necromunda gang. Guard also have most of the other special and heavy weapon options available in Necromunda covered.

How does FW botching the weapon packs with a lack of lasguns prevent lasgun-rich 40K kits from being used for Necromunda? I don't understand your claim at all.

Guard regiments based on hive gangs would quickly have their own kit replaced by munitorum standard kit. So why do special house specific Lasguns when you can harvest Lasguns from other guard kits to add in. Using Necromunda models as militia stand ins means you could use lasguns or auto guns with equal gay abandon.

lol, good eye

Lets move on from that guy.

I want to hear more about Delaque Lascannons and Heavy Bolters. Is it possible to mix and match the heavy weapons through gangs, or are the sculpts gang specific?

Sculpts are gang specific for the most part. Cawdor versions of weapons look like junk, Van Sar version are super high tech, etc. There’s nothing stopping you from saying your leader or champion took it off the corpse of a member of those gangs though, and you could also kit bash using space marine/admech/ guard parts depending on what gang you’re playing. Goliath look fine with bigger weapons from Space Marines as is, same with Orlock with their servo harnesses on their gunners, but for Escher you might give them a mechanical arm from an Admech kit or something so it’s more believable that they can lift the bigger guns like plasma cannons. The old CSM kit heavy bolter is pretty good for Necromunda, all you have to do is clip the icons and the armored hand off.

Doh! In that case, ignore me...

They have done in the past. Previous event threads are full of pics from inside.

Enforcers Next:

From battle bunnies

Necromunda

Ammo Jack and Domerunner are incredible models in a pack.

Delaque Weapons packs look fantastic. Snipers, Web Gauntlets and flamers.

Delaque heads are coming soon. Look great. Lots of optics.

Kal Jericho and Scabs are coming as a plastic release.

Next book is the Book of Peril. Badlands and Bad people. Venator Gang list.

New Dramatis Personae

Detailed rules for active terrain. Active Industrial terrain to carnivorous underhive fungus. 5 new Badzone scenarios and a badzone Trading Post.

Badzone environment cards. Region Soaked with the power of Chaos, Radiated section etc.

Card sleeves. Are coming.

Aaaand. . .next Gang is: Enforcers.

Enforcers! Yes please!

We will have to wait until the end of the month to see them :(

So no new plastic release? oh boi that's a bummer.

Let's show off tons of Necromunda stuff you've already seen but not show off Enforcers.

Cool.

Are they in plastic? And have they given any hints what aesthetic they've eventually gone with, because the teaser trailer sounded very "tacticool", but they implied they would be veering away from the old not-Arbites styling.

GW have another preview event at the end of the month. I guess we will see the enforcers then.

Not gonna lie. I'm a fan of the executioner redesign.

Any word on gang cards reprints ?

Someone asked that exact question, to which the answer was that they are re-doing in the near future, but changing them to give different options. I had hoped to ask Whether that meant the old versions would be rendered obsolete or complemented, but never got the chance,

Good to know, I hope they'll be replacing the previous ones, or else it's going to be Hell to get the older ones for a full set.

Did anyone ask about the Phyrr cats? I know they got taken down to be reworked but surely they've had time to rework them by now?

Kinda bummed with the news for necro and BB. Just rehashed stuff we've known about for months, plus basic announcements with basically little to nothing to look at. And it's already been a slow year for both of these games. I am excited for enforcers but they only got me excited at the idea, cause that's about all I have to go on at this point, no renders/concept art nothin.

Absolutely nothing on wither additional gang pets or brutes... :-/

Mind you, the session started quite late due to people not clearing out from the Warhammer Lore seminar held just before it, and a technical glitch which required a good 5-minute hardware reset... reducing the q&a time significantly

I hope completely the opposite, because I'd rather have more options I can choose to get than have the 50 odd quid I spent on the card packs a couple of months ago rendered worthless.

They shouldn't be changing them at all, frankly, they should be re-issuing the existing packs for people who didn't get them, and they can add the new options to a single new pack. They can jog on if they want folk to rebuy the whole set.

Yaktribe might be able to help you there.

I did ask about the possibility of gang-specific skills with a new table for each, and got a knowing wink with a 'oh yes, that is something we have thought for a long time... and with possible gang expansions due soon...'. The Lore discussion pod was a great little session, shame it was so hard to hear with the noisy backdrop of the show floor.

Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but thought it worth reporting.
