Corral Some Creepy Crawlies With the Ash Wastes Nomad Herder and Arthromite Duneskuttler

**Tsagualsa**

Yeah sure, why not, having a Not-Zergling surely can't hurt. You. Can't hurt you, that is, it will surely hurt a lot of other people. I'm positive it's a good boy that just wants to play.

**lord_blackfang**

Good stuff except of course the name.

**ImAGeek**

Very cool model.

**Overread**

That is a very neat beasty!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Thought it was a Millisaur at first.

Not sold on the pastel green carapace, but the model itself is lovely.

**KidCthulhu**

The pale coloration reminds me of those teeny albino scorpions in Arizona.

Yep, the Fantasybollox NounVerber trope is alive and well

**Shadow Walker**

Awesome bug!

**SamusDrake**

Very nice.

**nels1031**

That's another mean looking monster.

Would've preferred that the Ash Wastes were riding these things over the other bugs that they are currently riding.

**Danny76**

Yeah I like that beast. I’ll try not to start Nomads.

**H.B.M.C.**

Ok, now that's good.

Didn't like the last one with the Ripperjacks, but this one is cool.

**Tamereth**

another win of a beastmaster. Really liking the new take on these.

**modelhunter**

Is this Nomad Herder and Arthromite a Forgeworld (ie resin) kit or are they releasing it in plastic?

FW like pretty much every other Hired Gun/Hanger On.

**schoon**

The critters are wonderful. I may have to get the set just for the beasties.

**Dysartes**

According to today's pre-pre-order article, the following will be up for pre-order this week:
- Mercator Pallidus Corpse Harvesting Party
- Rex Spires and Estus Jet
- Ajex Gorgoth, Lord of the Fist

What does that leave us with that have been previewed but not gone up for pre-order yet? The Beastmasters?

**Danny76**

Lady Haera, Beast master with Ripperjacks, Brute Handler, Chem Dealer, Estus Jet, Rex Spires, Nomad Herder, Duneskuttler.
Maybe all that?

Automatically Appended Next Post:
No we had a few of those.

Just Haera and the Nomads?

And the Cawdor 'knights'.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

We must be getting near new book o’clock too.

There's not much more missing, a couple of beasts, some characters, and the Van Saar ride iirc. And the Promethium guild?

Fingers crossed for either Hive Secundus or Navis Mortis book next.

Oh, where to begin… (you may read this in the voice of the People Eater from Mad Max)

Spoiler:

I found it interesting that the design team decided to release a plethora of Goliath Characters not from the rulebooks, while we still have four more unaccounted for. I am hopeful though we will see these eventually. Older characters are returning in newer books, like Alice Shivver and Mortana Shroud, becoming part of the current narrative, and Ajex is potentially a taste of stuff to come.

EDIT: oh and forgot the vehicles for Delaque, Van Saar and maybe the Enforcers. (Would kind of like a Repressor Tank for the enforcers)

Don't Delaque still need their vehicle-y kit too?

I refer you to the extensive list of 'not much' that Segersgia thankfully provided

**Dysartes**

There was a reason I was limiting my question to "Things we've actually seen previews of"

Does seem odd that we've not heard a peep about the vehicles for Delaque and Van Saar, assuming the Cavalry is the Cawdor equivalent.

**H.B.M.C.**

In the case of Van Saar and Delaque vehicles, they're not so much "missing" as we haven't got to them yet. Like the Cawdor scrapwalkers, they'll arrive whenever we get the next book/s.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Millisaurs!

**H.B.M.C.**

I like them.

They look close enough to the originals (unlike the Ripperjack).

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Definitely larger, but not a massive departure in terms of style.

Beastmaster is pretty cool as well. Certainly I think the two we have so far are marked improvements on the originals.
