Going to be probably getting into Necromunda when it launches.
I didn't play the old game and I'm not terribly in love with the base set models (the steampunk roid ragers and the steampunk roller derby chicks).
Does anyone have any plausible ideas as to what the other factions will be, and what kind of aesthetic they will utilize?

Here's the original rulebook. Ignore all the rules and look at page 78, it has a breakdown of the main gangs.

If you Google....
House Cawdor
House Van Saar
House Orlock
House Delaque
You’ll get an idea of how they might look. Only might. True, Goliath and Escher haven’t changed much (I’d argue they’ve been ‘rationalised’ rather than modernised), but that doesn’t necessarily follow for all the Gangs. Indeed I’m hoping Van Saar look a lot less Gimp Suit...

Van Saar wasn't gimp suit, they wore stillsuits from Dune.

Rather gimpy "stillsuits", though. The handlebar moustaches didn't help much - like having Poirot and Freddy Mercury joining the Fremen.

They’re not steampunk. They’re just punk. It’s a British thing
