Contents floating about for the Necromunda game, terrain looks amazing

Uh where? Can't find anything on FB.

So, not Necromunda, just another 40k gateway game. Necromunda should have nothing to do with Space Marines or Orks.

BOO!

Sounds excellent to be honest. Necromunda is probably my favourite GW game, so any game based upon or heavily influenced by that already interests me. It has some issues but generally plays well. Expanding it to 16 to 17 factions, one potentially as varied as the 40K armies, would certainly be a challenge but I think creating perfectly balanced forces is less important when it comes to campaign based skirmish games.

Did someone say there's pics of the terrain going round? Show me!

Shrug from me as well. No one to play games with out here. If the terrain is well done it could tempt me. I don't collect either army so no reason to get it for that.

Then just use the rules (which they say are Necromunda's rules) and Imperial Agents and Genestealer Cults to represent different Gangs.

Here's my main issue. If you have a "spiritual successor" to Necromunda based on 40K...that's pretty damning concerning a genuine successor to Necromunda (they may just leave it with the video game).

Anyone who loves Necomunda is anxious for a real Necromunda, not a "spiritual successor". Much as the "spiritual successor" of WHQ left a bad taste in many mouths. If anything though, it'll provide some closure for those who've been waiting 20+ years for a new version. And if they can buy the new game and at least get some terrain out of it - cool.

But if it's not gangs, ratskins, arbites, etc...it's not Necromunda and I've no real interest in it.

Well apparently Necromunda is gonna be the next specialist game after Titanicus according to people from an event (can't remember which one).

Yeah but it might be a precursor to Necromunda coming back- test the waters [and maybe develop new terrain] for the game. Because what everyone would want is plastic gangs- and they would need resources to do that and it seems resources are pretty stretched for specialist games - they appear to be trying to get more plastics for Bloodbowl and possibly get Titanicus in plastic.
I think they may well do Necromunda in the future -this is just a way to get the rules out with some terrain along with existing models until they can produce original plastics for a new game.

Or this is the plastic Necromunda terrain before resin Necromunda gangs are announced at whatever the WHW event is in May

Another way of doing that would have been to re-release the Necromunda rules along with some terrain and existing models until they can produce original plastics...

I mean, if you're going to just re-release existing models in a new box, you might as well re-release stuff that people are actually asking for...

Where are the contents?!?!?!

Wonder how much I can ebay the marines for. A few bucks maybe?

I really like that terrain. Is it plastic?

Would they put resin/metal models in a box set?

True. I'd keep the Orks, but never really been interested in the marines, at least not the ones they'rel ikely to have (scouts especially). MAybe someone at a local store is willng to swap.

Cool terrain , but need more than 1 gantry to play on, might use existing plastics with resin special heroes?!?

Tentatively excited about shadow war. I never played necromunda and frankly the gangs don't appeal to me. However I disliked killteam for being simply 40k at low points with (very) slightly altered rules. I wanted rules to match such a small scale like setting up killzones and such. This sounds like it could be more what I expected out of kill team.

Someone posted a grainy photo in the comments on War of Sigmar (edit: and here a few posts up). It does look like recycled Boyz, which is disappointing. Would still appreciate some interesting rules though.

That terrain is really weird. I am not sure how well it fits a stand alone game, one big piece of terrain. However, it bodes very well for a non-watered down skirmish game which is expanded way beyond the initial box set.

That terrain is neat looking, but it doesnt look great to actually play a skirmish game on. That being said, I have plenty of terrain. Cant wait to see the rules.

Well, that's underwhelming...

I wonder how well that terrain piece will link up with some of the existing terrain kits.

Terrain piece...Looks nice but seems kinda thin for skirmish terrain. Feels like one would need lot more just for basic table(nevermind truly appropriate amount of terrain for necromunda style table) unlike original necromunda.

Still a lot depends on the price. If price is right could see myself buying two of those.

Before people panic, there is a rumour going round (add it to the list) that this is just part of the terrain. ( from the comments on the war of sigmar blog)

On it's own, not much terrain. I think having just the simple gantries but more of them might have been better for a stand alone game. But if that piece matches up well with the existing 40K buildings, maybe some cool terrain can be made by combining them.

Well was more of puzzled but good to know. Odd though. That picture looked a lot like content pictures GW has which generally show all.

Even better though! Good terrain is always welcome.
