The corpse grinders are really the worst kit they released for Necro, Stiff and static. A shame since the concept is pretty cool.

The enforcers, on the other hand, are ace

I don’t have my boxed set to hand so can anyone check if these are the same Corpse Grinder tactics that were in Dark Uprising? The example card is Blood-Drenched Champion.

We get new cards! Probably 12 general and 8 gang specific, or opposite. That should bring us up to 225 cards total (not counting underdog tactics).

They are skimping on the hang specific ones this time -

The pack comes with four cards exclusively for the Corpse Grinders and another sixteen that can be used by any gang.

OK so they'll get a total of 12, pretty close to most other gangs having 13.

Total cards for Necromunda (2020): 410 (including 225 tactics cards).

The Enforcer card pack was similar, with 4 gang-specific cards and a bunch of neutral cards. It is probably to compensate for the extra cards they got in Dark Uprising.

The Enforcers aren’t any more than the other gangs. The price on all the others was bumped up to match. Nothing to do with the transfers, just got hit with the price increase when that happened.

Not in my part of the world. Enforcers are AUD$4 more than other gangs, and the only difference is that they have a transfer sheet.

Hmmm, I do hope FW alt head and weapon sets for the Corpse Grinder Cults comes soon...

They'd need to completely new body for the initiate because one in the kit is really meh. They deserve a better looking kit for being the best fighter credit wise in the game.

I’m mostly psyched the other Zone Mortalis bits are coming soon.

And broadly in sets that are actually quite useful and not filled with stuff you don't want, which is a nice surprise.

Any idea when the Subjugators will be a separate box set?

The Palanite Subjugator Patrol box is pre-order on Saturday.

Has this been posted?

I wonder if the Enforcer cards are new, or a reprint.

They didn't preview them yesterday and the Enforcer Tactics Cards just came back into stock on the GW webstore, so likely reprint. They'd been unavailable since before Dark Uprising dropped here in the US.

Why they specify 26 tactics cards? No other deck has had 26 tactics cards, most common and max is 20.

Because this is the new maximum would be my guess.

5 frames for the wall and column box? Something is off there.



Thats 3 column sprues, a large and short wall sprue, and door sprue, for 6 sprues. Not 5.

Would have liked a higher ratio of walls and columns to doors, but honestly the price point is lower than I was fearing.

The number of sprues for the big box is off as well, it seems. What they show in the image isn't 16 sprues...

It's probably 26 cards. I just remembered all their decks used to have 26 cards. Including a handful of fighter cards, so not actually 26 tactics cards, but 26 cards rather.

So, is the £110 box the same amount and mix of scenery sprues as the content of the Uprising box, minus the barricades sprue?

No. It basically would require another walls and columns box, minus the door sprue (so 3 more columns sprues, 1 small wall sprue, and 1 long wall sprue).

Looks way less


DU set


I am very interested to know the relative value of this terrain set vs the terrain in Dark Uprising.

Some pipes too I think.

JWBS wrote:

It would appear so. The pipes are only one full sprue (split into two half-sprues), and the image only shows pipes from one of the halves. So I guess they are only giving one half sprue of pipes.

(Edit: I misspoke. The back half of the arched pipe segment and the feet are on the second half of the sprue, which means that there should be two more long pipes as well. The picture apparently doesn't show everything in the set).

As for the value, I don't know what the actual prices are, but I've heard $80, $80, and $185 (that seems way too high to me for an extra sprue of pipes). So the big set plus another wall set would be $265, which is $25 less than Dark Uprising, which will net you an extra door sprue (you CAN have too many), but lack DU's other half of the pipe sprue, a barricade sprue, 26 miniatures, two sets of dice, rulebook, tokens, and a bunch of cards.

Looks closer to $60 for the platforms and $80 for the walls. More than I thought in my initial poat, because I was mentally translating the gbp price by real exchange ra\es rather than the fake gw ones.

Says the following:

The Zone Mortalis kits are available to pre-order from Saturday. If you can’t wait, the Necromunda: Dark Uprising boxed set includes all of the terrain from the Hive Warzone kit along with two gangs, a rulebook and everything else you need to play Necromunda – grab a copy here. Also, make sure you visit the Forge World Facebook page to let us know what you’re planning on building with these incredible new kits.

I can't say I'm shocked by the hefty pricetag but if it really is everything out of Dark Uprising? That's a lot of scenery in there.

Hopefully the tiles come back into stock too!

No, it doesn't say Hive Warzone includes everything from DU, it says DU includes everything from HWZ (plus a lot more).

My one complaint with the ZM terrain is that you pretty much have to glue the floors together, which means they become the limitation in your configuration variety. Build one 9-tile floor section, and you've basically used a whole kit. I like that the floors/stairs/elevators are separate, but even at $60, it's a bit much for how many you'd really need to buy to build a truly multi-level hive.

At the very least, Dark Uprising includes everything in the Hive Warzone kit - and possibly more. Since they didn't show all the pipes, it's possible that they didn't show all the terrain from the warzone... but it seems unlikely.

The Hive Warzone kit claims to contain 16 sprues of terrain. If so, I think that matches what was in Dark Uprising. It seems almost reasonably priced in such case.....
