From the video at least, it looks as if there wont be any platform terrain in the game box at all, and that it has cardboard board sections (not unlike Overkill)...all on the same level with a tiny bit of scatter terrain, bent and broken bulkheads and some ammo crates (which may actually just come with the GW shipping containers set). Any news on the price point at NOVA?
The board game has me even more interested in Necro.
Missed it the first time around by a couple of years, but was always intrigued. A board game approach would make it easier to get non-wargamers into it.
Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Images coming in a sec for folk who don't like vids..EDIT: Enjoy.
Goliaths:
Escher:
Tiles:
Squeeee:
And the rest of the stills I took - there's loads more angles in the vid but I'm too slow to catch 'em.
Spoiler:
Right off the bat, gotta say: SOLD. Holy crap what a different a cleaner, clearer paintjob makes for showing off the stunning models. Finally, GW female plastic models with exposed faces that look good(by which I mean, aesthetically interesting and well executed, not necessarily "hawt" etc). I do hope they include some of the older art in the book as well though - the new stuff looks great, but I'm not sure if it's really "proper" Necromunda without some of those mad black & white 90's pieces.

I really hope its not a board game style tile game. One of the coolest things about Necromunda for me was the terrain and dimensions the different levels brought to the game, shooting down, climbing up, falling off the edge etc.
In the video they have the board game style displayed and a terrain platform style. I hope its available in both or something...
Otherwise looks awesome
I will still buy it either way tbh.

It might have rules for both, so you can play it out of the box with the board. If it did contain larger terrain with different levels it might get pricey. So on one hand i'm glad they are giving us this. Regardless the board looks pretty damn awesome and industrial.

I would imagine the tiles shown are Gw's way of making sure people are playing the game with tightly packed terrain without them needing to pack the box with a whole bunch of plastic scenery that needs assembly.
I imagine the book will have something like "units in necromunda move in inches. In this box we've given you tile with 1 inch squares, so you can choose to count squares or measure inches when using tiles..." to cover that, But really the chances that they'd make necromunda a board game when the terrain is most most people remember and love are slim.

I did a quick search but personally no idea abot that lady. The voice sounded appropiate having in account that I think it was supposed to be a Escher the one narrating the trailer.

If you're not British that joke will take too much explaining to be worth the effort.
Suffice to say the mockney accent is approaching van Dykian levels of bad.

Making it a board game and a game that works with scenery is a definite stroke of genius. I didn't expect to see new custom dice. So scatter dice make a return, and what are the other two?

lol @ lilly allen comment. I thought the same, for the Americans (I live in the US now), its like getting someone from the Jersey shore to do the voice over....
I just saw that closer look, looks like both styles will be playable.
SO EXCITED!!!!!!

That's not a British accent. It's what somebody who's never heard a British accent thinks people from London sound like.
so it's a boardgame :/
Nope. Look again.

I so excited about this. A board game that can also use terrain, and multi-part kits in the starter? Looks like most of the concerns have been addressed. I am so glad I put aside a bunch of my GenCon budget for this instead.
Also, I am noticing that the woman standing in the middle at the 58 second mark really does not fit in with the Escher aesthetic throughout the rest of the video. Could she be a member of one of the new factions they have been hinting at?
A very important detail that I have not seen posted. The rules for using regular terrain will be in a separate book. Not sure if this contains the full rules for the game or not.
If it does and you already have terrain and gangs you could just buy the book and start playing. This was the case with bloodbowl so hopefully it will be the same this time.
This info comes from warhammer weekly on YouTube.
They said the book will come out the same day as the boxed game.

where?
The double-wide ones and a couple of the singles look too 3d to be cardboard like the scatter barricades are, and there seems to be a few little plastic bits & bobs as well, so maybe one plastic sprue in each box along with the card tiles?

Fantastic idea to allow for terrain-based and tile-based games.
And it comes with tiles! This went from "Buy 1" to "Buy 2" in an instant (I own 5 sets of Necromunda already, plus Shadow War, so what's another 2?).
I'm 95% sold on the minis (if they're gigantic things that dwarf Primaris Marines then we have a problem). The dice... not sure I like the idea of including proprietary dice. But then again some of the sides just have a regular '5' so who the hell knows.
The doors are modeled after the old plastic bulkheads. Nice touch.
Goliath actually have me tempted to start them instead of waiting for Van Saar!!!! I can see so much potential for painting them up it's exciting! :-) and they won't be huge mini's they'll be in keeping with the new sizes but I doubt they will be drastically monstrous, they are only human after all;-)

I'm kind of wondering if they're actual dice, or just variable markers a la ModCubes. Does anyone have a scale shot of a marine near those plastic fence things? I'm pretty sure there's a clear shot of both a Goliath and an Escher next to one in the video.
