The version 2 stats has not changed from version 1, so this case goes back to white dwarf may last year. I think that was the only publication without errors, mainly because it was all new content and they didn't include any weapon profiles in it.

News for necromunda at NOVA!!!



Please ash waste nomads!!!

News for nearly everything.

Just no BB or AT I think.
Unless something else is missing

I recall someone posting concept art of the new Ash Waste Nomads last year or something. Does anyone still have them?

Thank you. These still look absolutely gorgeous concepts.

I'm either expecting these to be revealed at NOVA, or we might be getting our first look at Guilder models.

Now if only they'd be smart and put the riders out in plastic so people could field kit-bashed Rough Riders...

Nova will probably preview the Q4 Necromunda release, which I am assuming will be the plastic juves/specialist kit said to have been finished and ready for release.

Well, those concepts are not very helpful - but if they even vaguely live up to the billing, I'll buy them.

Huh. GW has really been shaking up the art styles lately. I like it.

I hope they will first release a second Enforcer *plastic* kit: Subjugators...

I guess Palanites sold really well and another ”Adeptus Arbites” box would make Enforcers even more interesting as an 40k army.

A resin kit (as expected) wouldnt sell a fraction of a boxed plastic one.

*nevermind!*

May see the rumoured gang expansion boxes that have extra sculpts as well as Juves and specialists.

Some of those nomad concepts almost look like the art we've seen for the upcoming WarCry warbands.

Probably just coincidence.

Thursday should be interesting!

So, corpse grinder cult?

Looks like it to me, shame they didn't just unveil them though. I assume these will be the guys covered in flayed skin and stuff.

New starter? Maybe? But who'll be the other gang?

I dunno, kind of reminded me of Karloth Valois.

There was a White Dwarf list for fielding Pit Slave gangs back during Necromunda's second edition, could that have something to do with this I wonder. The "revolt" aspect would fit perhaps, but the stuff about "the lord of skin and sinew," not so much.

Pit Slave gangs were fun. I still have one... somewhere.

Cult Helots? Scavvies? Karloth Valois wandering round with hoards of plague zombies?

Corpse Grinder Cult (with a twist of Khorne).

Maybe something like that?

Darnit, I was hoping for the Ash Waste Nomads. Between them and the Cawdor kit I could make some damn nice wasteland Mechanicus. I'm already working on Imperial Guard allies for them by using parts of the Cawdor kit, as well as Empire Flagellant bodies. A release like this would be fantastic. I especially want the long rifles to use as Galvanic Rifle replacements.

Could be new starter with Ash waste vs watever this thing is. The way they announce Dark Uprising seem like a new season more than the usual gang reveal teaser.

Well if that is the case, colour me excited for the release!

I'll likely need to go online to find a good splitter to supply me the components if you can't buy the gang separately, but nowadays that's not so hard.

Have you read the books yet? The Book of Peril , and the Book of Judgement both have like 10 more factional sets and the other single characters that have to be produced first.

Let me just go through just a a few here...
Starting with your "Corpsegrinder "Cult"... it's not a cult, its a Guild.

In The Book of Peril, page 22- 39 they talk about the Guilds, the Alliances that gangs can make, and the Guild representatives that join your gang for the duration of the Alliance. If your gang makes an alliance, depending on the guild will tell you what assets you get, benefits that the gang gets, and the allies that you are allotted to your gang for the story/ campaign.
List of Guilds and their Representatives. (Each of them still need figures, either a team or a single figure...)

1. Water Guild (Nautican Siphoning Delegation)
2. Promethium Guild (Pyromantic Conclave)
3. Corpse Guild (Corpse Harvesting Party)
4. Slave guild (Slave Entourage)
5. Guild of Coin (Toll Collectors)
6. Iron Guild (Wandering Scum)

There is also a Myriad of Bounty Hunters and Characters through the book that you get an idea of what the tone of the representatives look like. Then there hazard zones, which would more then likely lead you to modeling and making your own representation.

The background material in the books is like 40K is, and adds more character and information on Necromunda proper. NO, the basic box set was only a simple two gang "This is how you play" game, then the rest of the books and the added material give you more material to add to the game to expand it.

Make no mistake, this game is a living project. The thing we need to do is to keep GW on task, and call them when they overstep the mark and go off task.

Corpse harvesting party is .... a food and cleanup service. While the other is a cult. Could be corspe grinder cult, could be some chaos cult, GW still haven't confirmed.

Second book, The Book of Judgement.

In this book there are a few of the same principles on Alliances, only this time it is from the criminal underground perspective.

So far, we have the Palanite Enforcers, your basic cops in beat in the Underhive who get called in if your gang gets too uppity. But also, they get called in for more.... enterprising pursuits.

The factions you have a choice to get additional support from in the Book of Judgement who will also need characters and squads for include-

1.Cold Traders (Smuggler Shore Party- Void Born Bounty Hunters)
2. Imperial Imposters (Master Charlatan- Uphive Ambassadors)
3. Rogue Factoria (1.Ammo Jack hanger on- Hedge Armorer, 2.Factory Work Gang)
4. Narco Lords (Hive Scum - Narco Scum)
5. Fallen Houses (Rebel Lord)
5. Psi- Syndica (Mind locked Wyrd)
6. Smuggler Shore Party ( this is a squad. more then likely going to be a release.) joins the gang for the duration
7. Master Charlatan ( character model.) joins the gang for the duration
8. Factoria Work Gang (this is a squad. more then likely going to be a release.) joins the gang for the duration
9. Rebel Lord (character model.) joins the gang for the duration
10. Mind Locked Wyrd (character model.) joins the gang for the duration These would be like the old characters from Necromunda 1st edition. - No Beastmaster though...

Then there is the weapons load outs for the Enforcers, and the additional characters, rookie troops, and added heads and leader that I suspect we will see pretty soon.

As with the Book of Peril, the Book of Judgement also has a Dramatis Persona with 6 more character models. There are a couple more dotted through the books, but on the whole, I expect that the GW crew is cranking out these books with a base squad, and a couple of guys per team, and then they can put more effort into what sells or not. The problem that they have though is that they are throwing too much spaghetti at the wall and not waiting to see what sticks before the go on to the next book.

And finally, the hired guns, hangers on, and Dramatis Persona as with the other books.


Just think, ladies, These are only the first couple of books. They hint at the rest of the hive in these books, and you get to touch on the ash wastes briefly in discussion, as well as uphive life, which by all accounts looks like another whole book that I expect will include the Ratskins and the Ash wasters.

They have an added chaos cult, that's not that far off of a stretch. especially in leu of how the campaign system leads you to add in other GW products and characters. I can easily see one of these factional teams masquerading as such, and in reality end up being found out as a chaos cult, and your gang has to make the choice of joining the chaos cult, or fighting through a route through the rest of the Hive like in the movie "The Warriors".

A new starter seems WAY too optimistic for how GW has been handling Necromunda so far.
