Looks like the main set comes with a printed mat but the screenshots show modular floor sections...

Oh sweet. So we're getting short-changed on the terrain in the box box.

Awesome. That'll totally be worth it's AUD$300+ price tag.

Think of it this way- if they had included plastic floor sections as well you would have had to sell both kidneys to buy it, this way they are being kind and letting you keep one..

Hi. Name's HBMC. Nice to meet'cha.

Yeah. I bought two boxes... *sigh*

Believe me, I am beyond thrilled that they are plastic. That is an absolute God-send. But... they could'a just put that sprue in the box!

The ZM walls look great at first glance - they fixed the arches, huzzah! - but the real questions are still A; the price, especially when you have to buy the floors separately, and B; have they tweaked the dimensions to make them compatible with the modern terrain kits.

Actually that's a good point: What are the dimensions of these? Specifically, the height.

Sector Mechanicus stuff is generally 5" tall, although a few pieces (the dome, the kiln) are 2.5" tall, allowing you to do double to get the regular height. Then there are the Plasma Regulators which are between 2.5" and 5" and are fething annoying for that reason.

Are these 2.5" tall, stacking to 5"? If so, then those stairs are amazing. If they're some other dimensions, then that's a problem.

from facebook

I asked that guy if he had any sprue pics. Nuthin' so far.

I wonder if 11 enforcers = 1 leader that won't get a release when the other 10 get a separate box (has necromunda had any clam pack characters yet?)

Too many beautiful miniatures being released recently. Cant keep up with this.

Wait, wait, wait. I should know this given all I've done with the Sector Mechanicus stuff, so let's take another look:



That double-stacked tower towards the dead centre of the picture. There's a plasma conduit pipe running vertically along-side it. Assuming it's the same pipe from the conduit kit, then that's one standard 5" level of Sector Mechanicus terrain. That would imply, assuming that these are not modified pipes, that the individual wall sections are half-height (ie. 2.5"), and therefore will fit with Sector Mechanicus.

If the illustrious Ray Dranfield designed these, I'd imagine it was done on purpose.

Kinda. Kal & Stubbs are plastic... wait they're in a box because boxed = higher price.

And this guy isn't a clampack character. He's on a sprue with the shields and missing Enforcer weapons.

According to Dranfield, Owen Patten did the Zone Mortalis scenery.
Regarding the sprue...is it possible that it gets released on its own, ala the Marine upgrade frames?

I'm really liking that setup though. Might be time to buy in on Necromunda.

I, too, have 2 current boxes of Enforcers...

well I guess that's a minor plus at least, although as you say having the stuff in the original box would have been better

Have held off from getting in to necro, but damn I’m in on this for sure.

Hahaha, nice catch on the shotgun shells. I think that enforcer is in for some serious trouble.

I think the Cultists look pretty cool personally. I do think the ones with Vent/Visor style helmets look much better than the skulls though.

He's playing safe. Those are Nerf darts.
Try unseeing that

I might be wrong, but are there rules for breaching rounds in Necromunda?

Because those have some weirdness to their design if I remember correctly.

There is a whole new rule book so anything is possible but they are either painted strangely or some specialists ammo.

I think this is the first gang i dont like, Too stiff, too monopose, too similar to each other, looks like bad goliath convertions. Might change my mind with better pic, but a miss for me so far.

As for the enforcers 2nd sprues, all gangs should have one, but splitting there release is scummy as hell

I'd actually guess looking at the pictures that it is a sprue of 3 models duplicated twice, combined with the original sprue of 5.

Ok, so, over thinking this as much as I can, there are 15 cultists. That means three sprues of 5.

On each sprue there are two... let's call them Juves for lack of a better description, and 3 gangers. This gives us a massive amount of duplication, given that there are exactly 3 poses for each of the Gangers.

Also there are three each of the 2 different Enforcer Subjugatir bodies, suggesting this is mixed sprue of 2 Enforcers, 3 Corpsegrinder gangers and 2 Corpsegrinder juves. Great for this box set with a single older 5 man Enforcer sprue and the new scenery...but limits the chances of seeing those riot shields outside the big box.

That's possible as well. Don't know why they'd make a sprue of 3 guys... but maybe them shields is real real big!

Khorne cultists? Yawn. Necromunda is the perfect setting to give a less warlike god the spotlight, like Slaanesh. But no, let's have more dumb brutes instead.

Nice to see a shield option for the enforcers. Not so nice if feugan is right and they're exclusive to this box.

Really nice terrain, too.

Loving all these minis. Really nice looking terrain as well.

The cultists are suitably Khornate and I guess the skulls with all the horns etc come from them being the hive's meat butchers, so not only human corpse starch but also an endless supply of various xenos beasts being shipped in for hungry hive workers.

I find that chaos gang really disappointing. 15 models that all look kind of the same and all in old school poses (and not in a good way).

The cultists of the abyss from Blackstone Fortress are so much better!

Fingers crossed the Juve looking cultist MoFos are a sign other Gangs will be getting Juves soon.

Plastic ZM? Awesome. And these models are going to make amazing cultists for my Word Bearers. Count me in.

I'd guess the Subjugator sprue will be released as the enforcers Juve/Champion upgrade frame, and these will be small 3 model boxes with a few options for the relevant ganger types.

I like the Enforcers, and I REALLY like the ZM terrain. Is it safe to assume that the book in the box is going to be the newest and most-up-to-date, go-to Rulebook in all the land?

...until next year, at least?

New rulebook? It's gonna be impossible for GW not to release yet another version/edition (to HBMC: whatever you wanna call it) of this game. Keep in mind they released 8 books so far (5 of which are only good for recycling), all of them contradicts previous books or even internal contradictions in the same book. Is this new book not going to do that? Or is this the start of N19? It's going to be... "interesting", considering the authors never play test nor proof read.

Just compare with the latest summary book for Blood Bowl, Head Coach Handbook. Was supposed to have all teams collected in the same book. Super convenient! Except they changed a lof of profiles and skills, so if you look up something, chances are it's going to be incorrect. It's so bad, I heard rumours you could send it back to GW and have it refunded.

So the YouTube video has the models standing on a 3D surface, not a flat mat. My question is whether we’re eventually getting a tile to match this stuff up to, or if GW just took like 5 of the sprues that make the second level flooring and made it look like that.

As much as I think I like the Corpse Grinders more than a lot of people here, it is a bit of a shame that there aren't any female models in them. Necromunda was getting better there.

From what I can see, that is a 24" x 24" playing surface?

So full on brand new box set coming up. Juicy!
