110 GBP, or $185. 1.68 dollars to the pound. The fake exchange rate is getting worse.

I got mine for £88......

Do you see what I did there?

Literally every company in the world does this, GW is just the only one that is cheaper in Europe.

I always thought the blade on a chainsword didn’t spin between the motor and a cog at the tip like a traditional chainsaw, but oscillated back and forth like a hedge trimmer. I know the stories say whirling teeth, but the art and models never seem like they would work that way. In the end I guess chain weapons sound better than oscillating weapons.

Imagine if, upon the release of literally every product in existence, there were a flood of complaints about "Why is this cheaper in America though??" KEKW

The point isn't that GW is using an imaginary exchange rate, but that it isn't even self consistent. Exorcist is 50GBP, $80 USD. 1.6 dollars to the pound. The usual. But this is 110 GBP at $185, where 1.6 would be $176. On top of the exchange rate including the VAT.

Ok. Your happy to pay more, but would prefer to pay more in a more consistent way (like Apple, Samsung, and everyone else always does). Understood.

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

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).

Some pipes too I think.


Soooo ...
2 Wall Sections ( 2 Wide ) (equal to Dark Uprising)
8 Wall Sections ( 1 Wide ) (equal to Dark Uprising)
2 Stairsections (equal to Dark Uprising)
6 Pipesections, 2 Generators ... ( about: twice of Dark Uprising )
one Elevator (equal to Dark Uprising)
145€ - vs - 230€ (Dark Uprising)

but in Dark Uprising I also get some 53€ of Subjugators and Corpsegrinder Cultists each;
plus I get one of those nice Mats to lay down on the Gamesurface
plus templates
plus cards
plus a rulebook
plus tokenz
plus two sets of dice ( some 24€ )

Bottom Line, If I have a use for the Gangs; Dark Uprising will buy me basically the same amount of terrain for 100€ ;
while the huge collection clocks in at 145€.

Guess I'll be buying a fifth Dark Uprising Box or so :-D

I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body!

The Book:


The House of Chains is a huge update for Goliath gangs, including house alliances, unique scenarios, themed terrain features, and even Slave Ogryn gangs. We’ll have more news from the underhive soon.

I like it! It also sets a nice concept up for the other forces getting "their own book" which suggests going forward that GW might be copy-catting their "main game" model for releases for Necromunda. Which is really interesting because it suggests at least a mid-term shift toward a more "mainline" style product and that means long term support has a much greater chance of sticking around

And Goliath Wimmins, which is always welcome.

Will of course be getting the book, and am intrigued to see what the contents are like.

Also, really digging the pinhead look of the Stimmers. Sets them out as different from Space Marines.

Hopefully these are hardback supplements like the enforcers book. That would make them run, what, $47 apiece?

Definitely a cool idea. Some of the art suggests we may have character specific Goliath leadership or hired gun types.

I still wouldn't mind the extra stuff like weapons and heads in plastic. Even better would be if some of the new stuff is compatible with the current Goliath plastics.

Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!

The ‘Juves’ look awesome, and I like the big guys. All three games showed today have stuff coming I want. Makes up for the dearth of news for them for a while.

Looks pretty thick pages wise, so could be more Codex price?

Weirdly these aren’t called Zerkers, but Stimmers.

Unless Zerkers are something entirely different.

Juuuuuuuves! Glad we're finally getting Juves for the core gangs.

Hopefully you don't have to give them double handed close combat weapons though, Juves die a bit too easily for that. Nice models too, with bonus points for a female Goliath and saws for impoverished Genestealer Cult sorts to steal for Acolytes.

The Stimmers are a bit awkward looking, but not terrible.

Not entirely sure I'm in love with the idea of yet another set of rulebooks for the core gangs but hey ho.

Glad to see the models. NOT glad at the prospect of a second book for every gang in a game that is already at the most extreme end of nickel and diming us for rules in the whole gaming industry.
