Size comparison with Necromunda bulkheads...

Excellent comparison shots. Thank you for these.

Seems they're about 5" high, not 6". Interesting.

Thanks this is exactly what I wanted to know

Won't have enough of this new terrain to play with it this weekend, so we'll revert to regular Necromunda terrain for now.

'Spose I should find out if I'm getting that pre-order I made. That will determine how much more terrain I order.

Did I mention I love terrain? Even more than I love modular boardgame tiles.

I mean, you could get nuts with Lego.

Lego for terrain is for folks who find Forge World prices laughably insignificant.

Nice stuff, unexpected.

But did FW discountinue the Krieg ''Standing'' squad when I wasn't looking?

Yes, they did a while ago, also all the heavy weapons in non-firing positions.

I need one more Grenadier squad and that has been "temp out of stock" for months now, which has me worried

Same, while I am not really planning on getting more Grenadiers, they were my first WH40k purchase and it would sadden me to see them go.

No they are just highlighting a few items for Shadow War

No, I checked the Krieg products in case that was the case, its not the case, the squad is gone.

I don't know if it's just better lighting or different painting, but that Elysian squad looks really good in that image.

Funnily enough, my first game tonight will be using Elysians (with the Cadian skills matrix, if we get that far).

Not sure how significant this is but on the box my shadow war was delivered in it states produced January 2017 and carton number 3834 of 4002

It's worth checking your local GW for spare tokens, incidentally. They're giving them out free if you buy a box for a kill team - I picked up some neophyte hybrids yesterday and got some.

Probably not very. 4000 boxes would only be 10 per GW store, ignoring all internet and FLGS orders. Doubt they only made 4000.

Only those produced in Nottingham? They have another factory in Memphis, dont they?

Factory in Memphis was closed ages ago, I think.

I believe it's just a distribution/packing hub now.

Yeah...

My local GW store had 4 copies.

My local GW store had 4 copies.

Mine had a grand total of one.

I think mine had 3 and those were all for display.

Do you know if yours let people reserve copies if they couldn't preorder?

According to the manager, they didn't allow anyone to do that. They got 2 all up but one was for a website preorder.

I wasnt aware they had stopped miniature production entirely in the US, I thought only metal and resin/fc. I see

Friend lucked out and had one ship from Doc's. So I may get to eventually see it in the flesh, lol.

Just checking.

Like yours, mine didn't allow anyone to do that. There were too many people trying to preorder.

Isn't that essentially the OG Necromunda box set?

Heh, my FLGS has a copy of SWA sitting on the shelf. I have half a mind to pick it up. It would have been a lot more exciting of a find if they hadn't announced the book coming separately (and rendering the book in the box obsolete).

It's not obsolete...

The only thing different is that the upcoming book will have the downloadable lists, in physical print.

Do you have access to any of the ladders from the last wave of modular plastics? (Imperial Sector etc) Do they fit?

They're too short - 3 inches for Imperial Sector, 5 for Sector Mechanicus.

Could work for the Void Shield Generator?

Work in what way?

I wouldn't be surprised if the "4002" was the regional allocation. Comparing the limited availability of this set to past instances of limited availability GW probably only made ~20,000 units globally.

There is a more complete version of the rules. Digital is fine by me, for the most part, but it irks me that less than a week after release a better version of the rules came out in print.

I'd hardly call a multi-week pre-order period that starts 2 weeks after the release "less than a week".

I don't get why you say its obsolete and different rules. Its not. Same exact rules. All the new book is adding is the army lists that have been on their website for 2 weeks and sisters of battle and inquisition.

How you play the game part of the book is 100% the same. If you don't play sisters or inquisition then don't buy the book coming out.

As a ladder up to the first platform of the void shield generator.
