Buttless Chaps for his throne!!!

While I realise that it's amusing to mention bottoms, describing chaps as 'buttless' is sort of like saying 'sleeveless singlets', or 'hoodless dinner jacket' or 'expensive GW miniatures'... It's totally redundant redundancy.

Fixed it for you, not that your attention was necessary in the first place.

I'm looking right at them.

Clipping the figs as we speak.

They have.... tuxedo trousers.

Picked up my Sector Mechanicus bases, and am waiting on some AOR Bloodreavers.

The test models look sweet, and the guys look pretty sweet in comparison to the new stuff coming out.

Start my gang off with a new size, and also use them as Human Nobs. I'm thinking this gang might be good for double duty in Necromunda, AND Gorkamorka.


Blood for the Leather god!!! Tuxido trousers for his throne!!!

Looking at the new figures, the Ork weapons are dead on for them. Axes and Swords, shotguns, and Bolt pistols get extra mention.

Problem I have is that the old gangers are smaller. One issue I see might be the Juves... The old Juves look like babies next to the new guys.

Make sure you double down and buy at least 2 boxes of these.

\The big one is sweet for an objective, such as the water still, or a weapons stash...


Question- Do you think the Warhammer Ogers will fit on a 40MM sector base?

yes. they fit nicely.

The scale creep of the figures is at least 2 mm and the figures are more robust, thickness wise.
I am using AOS Blood reavers as a comparison, ant they are large enough to stand open legged on a 32mm base, as opposed to when the figures stood open legged on a 25mm base.

(In the pictures, look at the feet placement, the weapons, and the heads.)
Goliath 32mm base-

Esher on 25mm base, but a more robust figure compared to the old Eshers.

OLDER Goliaths and Eshers both on 25mm bases

In addition, my new AOS Bloodreavers are a few mm to head, larger by girth then a old goliath. the leader is as tall as a plastic ogre model.
These new Necro guys seem bulkier.

Here is the GW link.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/08/31/a-closer-look-at-necromundagw-homepage-post-2/

I am also using sector mechanicus bases, they are 32mm.


BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT- THESE FIGURES ARE SLIGHTLY LARGER, BY THE PICTURE.

These are only the first 2 gangs.

30mm-ish to the eye and Heroically proportioned.

A board game that comes with rulers and templates.

ARE there any board games that require a ruler?

Yes and GW makes 'em.
Deathwatch Overkill has movement by spaces and range determination via a range ruler.
Blood Bowl also requires a ruler for passing.

Is it plausible the new necromunda will be 65 pounds as is the actual blood bowl ?

With only 20 figures and card terrain it can't be over $100...that'll be a sack of crap, so I think it's a safe bet it's around the $95-100 mark.

It will never ever be ppriced below 100 USD. I expect this to be about 200 CAD, so around 150-160 US

AUD$235

I'd be surprised if it were lower.

I'm hoping for €85,- which is the same price as Blood Bowl, fingers crossed and all that.

Decided to pre-order two boxes plus anything else well in advance at my FLGS, as I do not want to miss out on this.

I would of hoped something closer to the $70 CAD Gangs of Commorragh would be more of a sweet spot for me, but could see them doing the $119 CAD blood bowl price point.

It'd be foolish to price it at 100 notes, so almost guaranteed that's what it will be.

All this terrain talk is making me antsy. Is there any US store that I could buy smaller sets of terrain piecemeal, and end up with a solid setup?

Apparently.

Though we get the opportunity to pay for terrain rules later on.

....... yay?

Or you could not buy the starter and buy the gangs or a gang separately and the rulebook, if you don't want to play the 'board game' version.

Honnestly I was hoping for an interesting terrain bundle. Fortunately I could buy the armageddon starter box in extremis lol. I never bought the original necromunda starter box but I own 3 gangs : delaque, esher, goliath. For what I see of the actual mini I am not totally sold to the new ones and they won feel well with my old models, so I am very happy with my old ones. I am really not sure this starter box would be a win to me. As a collectionist I was always tempted with two other gangs : scavvy and ratskin, both of which have ramped up prices on ebay to insane levels. Maybe if GW release new plastic ones, there will be some opportunities to buy the metal models... Still, it is the first time I am not sure if a starter box is worth it, and we are speaking about necromunda here. It is so sad I did not bought the original when I was 15...

I really feel like starter will be 65±5 pounds, while the gangs box will be 20 to 25 pounds. Based on blood bowl.

Sorry for people who do not feel the same but the new plastic models are superb for conversion and multipart kit, but they feel a bit plain to me, some lack of personality. This new cartoonish style feels very bad with the necromunda set. It is a detail but genetically modified goliath is goofy. Good old chemical steroid was enough.

So does anyone remember all those holiday terrain bundles that leaked awhile back? Could be a tie in for Necromunda.

As the proud owner of too much of it, I can honestly say the Platformer stuff is terrible. It has some OK bits for trimming terrain but trying to build it is a nightmare, the clips always break.

Pegasus Gothic kits are FANTASTIC

And the current small scale terrain kickstarter looks promising.

That mantic scenery is pretty nice, showing as out of stock on their website though, did they discontinue it?

Dark Sphere have some sets in stock for internet order, and it is cheaper even with their £3.80 postage.

Not in a million years. SWA, and the Horus Heresy boxed games were that price with 2-3x as much content. This is 20 figures w/ card terrain...it'll be $100 or less. If not, it'll fail spectacularly.

Well, the rumoured end of year terrain bundles suddenly make a lot more sense in this context. Wonder what other bundles they'll have?

 zedmeister wrote:

That's the question - and if they'll have more. Those bundles aren't really suitable for Necromunda, especially not the outpost.

The 40k terrain bundles may be for the return of Apocalypse via Chapter Approved. Pythos was one of the previous warzone book themes after all.

The Maki Games container terrain is excellent for Necromunda. I am also a fan of the Mantic stuff.

They are nice - problem is you get three GW containers + a load of useful scatter terrain for ~50% more at an online discounter compared to two Makitainers. So they honestly don't feel like good value in comparison.

I'm a bit fuzzy on the timeline, but I think the proposed bundles were leaked before Shadow War Armageddon was announced. It's possible (even likely) that Sector Imperialis bundles are planned to exist, but couldn't be admitted to at the time. New GW would have to be as dumb as Old GW to miss this opportunity.

How much in USD do you think It would take to fill a 4x4 with enough GW terrain for Necromunda? I've not seen much GW terrain first hand. I do like the board game style releases but I don't think necromunda is a good choice for that style of treatment. I'm dreading the prices just in general.

Anybody got a source/summary on the bundle talk? I don't remember that rumor.

I like the idea of blank cards in the box though.

Well, I hope (I guess you're talking about the Sector Mechanicus - the only fitting building from Sector Imperialis is the Manufactorum).

Mmh, I just noticed they don't have the Goblin Town multi pack anymore - it would make a nice contrast to the industrial stuff... (while still expensive in no way I'm paying 45€ for just the single kit).
