Oh, look at that, another one of the list today. Lovely.

I do like so far that every beastmaster is themed after the creature they are handling. We might see the giant rat get a rat-themed handler (perhaps even a ratskin handler)

Ratskins could be done well if they'd just switch from them being based on early western movie 'Injuns', i.e. shiftless drunkards and criminals, to being seriously based on or borrowed from a native culture, preferably one of the lesser known ones. Tlingit-style Ratskins could look amazing, you could even keep the rat-totem aspect. Imagine something like this, but with rat icons and some archeotech thrown in:

The typical helmets even kinda look like environmental protection or mining helmets.

So…

- We are missing 16 hangers-on; including two Outlaw Hangers-on, the Goliath Pit Trainer, and all the gang-specific hangers-on for Orlock, Van Saar, and Delaque (besides the Spyker).

- We are missing two guilds; the Promethium Guild and the Guild of Coin.

Would love it if you expanded this list with the full list of the hangers on and other stuff, like the Dramatis Personae bit you’ve done

**lord_blackfang**

Nice designs on the worms but i dislike the poses, there's already too many creatures randomly looking off to the side like they were carelessly strolling through the park and were only just now suddenly startled by an enemy walking out from behind a rock at 3 o'clock. Plus the two sculpts look almost mirrored.

**Jadenim**

Well, I guess the good news is I won’t be paying for shipping when all these previews get released…

Are you implying that these are the milliasaur equivalent of duck face

Ms Milliasaur, time for your close up

Excellent post, thanks! Someone link this in the OP!

**drbored**

glad necromunda is getting some stuff filled in for all these different creatures and hangers-on.

Definitely some neat concepts but so far it feels like they're filling out the ugliest beasts I've ever seen first. XD

**insaniak**

Is anyone else disappointed that all the critters are so much big?

I mean, big beasties are fun and all, but so are little scuttley ones...

Edit - aside from that, I'm loving them all, so far.

For the Ripperjacks, yes. For these? Milliasaurs are meant to be able to get pretty big, and one of the original three wasn't exactly small.

I would just like a little more variety. There were a lot of beasts in the Outlanders book - Wolf Spiders, Orb Spiders and Carrion Bats being three others they could do, along side giant rats - and many more they could adapt in some way (Ash Clams, Sludge Jellies, Brain Leaf, Face-Eaters, etc.).

Well, there are smaller critters like the rats and crows for Cawdor, the spiders for Van Saar or the ugly cat-lizards for Escher (and familiars). I'm okay with the new size of the centipedes with lamprey mouth and the Vagina dentata with labia wings. The old ones were nice but more an annoyance than a real threat. Now you pay the weird wyrd for something really horrifying.

If we extrapolate that trend in size increase and... likeness to things, the next beast will clearly be a dildo with a bolter

Don't talk about the Goliaths like that!

It's probably an allusion to Tom of Finland as well, who invented that style.

Apocrypha Necromunda – A Heretek Mind in an Ambot Body Spells Trouble in This Month’s Free Scenario

**zombie_sky_diver**

I wanted the new beast herders but I'm considering otherwise. I was never one to complain about FW pricing. However, these past few Necromunda releases have been a bit of a joke..

$66 for the Duneskutter.
$66 for the Ripperjacks.
$42 for the Propagandist and Agitator.

Originally, for a while, the blisters hovered around $30 or so I was cool with that. Then they had the price increase... sure, whatever. But now it just seems every new release is more expensive and unreasonable then the last.

**NAVARRO**

Its also not plastic sprue kits but just rather FW resins.

Meaning that quality can be random and most importantly thin fragile parts snap easy.

A shame really but looking at the bright side saves me money.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Aren’t we about due a new book? Feels like it’s been ages since the last one.

**MajorWesJanson**

Are the Cawdor Chicklet walkers out yet?

No.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Nor are their rules, which I must presume will be in the next book.

**leopard**

I'm seriously considering a Goliath force now.. thats.. genius

disturbing

but genius

also small critters.. do GW still sell the Skaven giant rats? seem perfect for stuff to just have scuttling about or lurking in corners to jump out and go for someone near "their corner"
