i just need a date

Apologies if this has been explained elsewhere, but lore-wise.what exactly are Corpse Guild has gw explained?

Glad I waited with picking up Enforcers, as I had a feeling an upgrade pack with shields would happen sooner or later. Just glad it's not a FW upgrade pack, but instead a proper plastic kit.

edit.

And the extra armour makes the breachers(?) look a whole lot better than the first wave of Enforcers IMHO.

Yeah I agree with HMBC, the cultist don't fit the aesthetic of Necromunda to me. They look VERY MUCH 40k and are a step back in the wrong direction for me. They do look like a Chaos army militia but absolutely not like an angry worker or inhabitant of the hive world. Idk...
But the set is a good news !

Honestly, given that the game is primarily about customization, I'd rather get a full all-female box rather than a single female model that can't use very much of the customization options, like heads or weapons/arms, or put in a singular pose than can't be easily converted into a different one. Compare what you can do with the Eschers to the lone Van Saar lady.

But Necromunda IS 40k, just at a lower power rank. You can even have GSC and chaos cultists gangs.

The Corpse Guild are one of the main Guilder merchant factions, their name was pretty self explanatory until they also decided to do...

The Corpsegrinder Cult, which are apparently a Khornate or Khorne-adjacent Chaos cult.

They're not related as far as we know.

Put me in the 'buying this box for the chaos bois + terrain then selling the police bois + rules' camp

Like for real. If I can't find someone to split with local I'll post up hereabouts. My CGC is headed to Kill Team as GSC

I think everything looks great, and I think this will end up on my Christmas list.

So the YouTube video has the models standing on a 3D surface, not a flat mat. My question is whether we’re eventually getting a tile to match this stuff up to, or if GW just took like 5 of the sprues that make the second level flooring and made it look like that.

It would fit with the rumor of the zone mortals floor on that shipping list.

A single female would be fine for both of these gang since they lack weapons choice in the first place. GL is the only (and best) basic weapon subjucator can take, and it wouldn't take much sprue space either if they have the same arm, just different hands (for autopistol, and a shock baton), extra female hands certainly better than the gazillion holster pistols, grenade and pouch bits.

I like the cultists, just wish they had access to heavier weapons from the get go. Obviously they're supposed to be melee focused but even with their numbers I'm afraid the Enforcers are going to make quick work of them in game.

This release also pretty much guarantees some 3rd party manufacturers are going to ramp up making chaos cultist types for those unhappy with the actual GW offerings.
My money is on seeing Raging Heroes work something up based on some of their current designs.

Enforcer had advantage but quick work? No. They're BS4+ for everyone.

Cultists could be very, very nasty in Zone Mortalis, where range rarely matters much.

Also, they’ve not Power Saw Flails, and that makes me moist in my special places.

These aren't exactly the like the old FW ZM since you can stand atop a platform chucking grenade down below.

Also under the classic ZM a guy chucking grenade down the hallway (every kind of grenade, not just the damage one) is equally dreadful. Only problem is the door might be close, just have some guy open it beforehand.

And of course, Inflitrate + demo charge strat just get 300% more scary in these corridor.

Grindr might also be an option.

This looks great for Kill Team. Hoping they have terrain packs available separately as well.

I like the cultists. They aren't oppressed workers, they're sewer cannibals. I will be giving mine slimy, pasty white skin, accordingly.

This looks awesome! Probably going to weep at the price but I’m all in on Necromunda. Not bothered at all at zero females in the box. Not sure why it’s necessary for every release to have females. Kind of a weird fixation, given fighting peeps are generally male for reasons that should be obvious. That hot potato aside, really looking forward to the November preorder.

All looks good.

Going to be expensive though with all that plastic.

£150 box? I would be surprised it its less.

Like the gangs, like the terrain. Not completely sure its worth it, but the combination might have me picking it up.

No, you are thinking about kill team. Necromunda is not 40k in small scale. 40k is equiliant of what fantasy genres would call "High Fantasy" while Necromunda is human based low and dirty scavenger pigfarming.

I remember when old Necromunda got an expansion, it was basicly "ok, so now the gangs has even worse equipment, and they starve if they dont win their fights; if they go to the tradingpost they get robbed, oh and they might become zombies".

I disagree: Necromunda has / used to have quite a different tone to my mind, a bit closer to Infinity. But it's nothing to be mad about, I'm just a bit surprised / disappointed by ONE warband so far so it's cool

Oh my. Modular zone mortalis terrain. I’ve got a massive smile! Well done GW cannot wait for this to be released separately. Hopefully we get some plastic tiles for it as well.

I agree but you can think about it like this - core Necromunda are the normal gangs that can all be drinking at a bar together one minute and then having a shoot out the next minute.

These guys are like the outcast and the outlanders living a hidden and hunted existence in the shadows beneath "civilization". Hopefully they will get thematic rules like the original outlanders.

I will feel differently if it turns out they act like and interact with people like every other gang.

Take your pick: Half of the human race, liking to be represented, liking women, just because... I mean, it's not like there's only one reason.

As to the other, maybe read a bit? Might as well start with this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Have_Always_Fought

People, not the place for this sort of discussion..

You know, this will probably be the same price as the Warcry boxed set. This has about the same number of miniatures (I think 29 for Warcry, 26 for this), about the same amount of terrain, and rules. If that's the case I will definitely pick this up.

I was waiting for a gang to really catch my interest, and those Corpsgrinder guys finally did it. I'll be getting this box. Plus the terrain will be great in Kill Team as well, with obvious places to stick high platforms and some fantastic line of sight blocking terrain.

If Arena had terrain like this, it would have sold like hotcakes.

I just hope that when I play, I don't run into people that are like the major complainers here that feel like my Corpsegrinder cultists aren't "in the feel of the game" and make me feel ostracized just for liking something that they don't

Nice terrain. I don't know if I need the gangs, but... maybe I do.

It had also rules for Eldar Scouts, Orks, Chaos Space Marines and Daemons...

*Go to Ebay (or somewhere else)
*Buy a Cawdor model
*Buy a Van Saar model
*paint both fittingly
*show them your opponent

Problem should be solved.

I really dig the Ghosts of Mars feel for these guys...

They just dropped weapons welding cultists from the Blackstone fortress game. Just go ahead and budget in a couple of boxes...

Secondly, you can go on and drop a few weapons off of your extra sprues that will fit on the figures. (Unless of course they stay a melee army)

If I were to get these, and make a gang- I would capture enemies, take the sprues of the old weapons not used, and paint them up representing the captured gear.

Than boxed set is damn impressive. The price- Not so much.

PSST- Use the AOS Khorn guys, and old marauder boxed figures.... it will set you back a little less than that hefty price tag. Marauders and 30K and 40K weapons work out pretty well. I've used las guns, Goliath pistols, and hand to hand weapons with little fuss.
