Huh, that's a cool mini - and GW gave me a voucher for free FW shipping, so it's entirely possible that mr Mc Beasty there may well be my first purchase from ForgeWorld. I will be swapping the pistol though - should be a reasonably simple swap to a more conventionally styled one, he's unique enough already.

**gorgon**

Oooo. I'm gonna haveta get that Beastman at some point.

Along with all the other special characters FW is going to be releasing. Stupid things are like pokemon - gotta get 'em all.

**Galas**

I agree, not a fan of the pistol. But probably the easiest part of the model to change! Beautifull sculpt.

**Chopstick**

Apparently the weird plasma pistol the Escher used is a copycat design from house Van Saar.

**Grot 6**

Goatboy looks awesome. A little thick, but he will go well with my pigs with guns!!!

I'm sold on maybe 2 games.

A Beastman in the Underhive?

Meet Gor Half-Horn. Nobody knows where this mysterious bounty hunter comes from, or quite how a member of one of the most hated subgroups in the Imperium* managed to get a bounty hunting license. Look familiar? That’s because Gor Half-Horn is, in fact, a re-imagining of a classic model from Rogue Trader from the abhuman auxilla – inspect him closely and you’ll even notice the Imperial Aquila on his chest.

Wherever he’s from, Gor makes for a valuable asset in your Gang War campaigns. If you’re rich in credits, but your Gangers have an unfortunate habit of dying, or you really, really need a particular rival in the campaign taken out, you can hire Gor for a single game. On the tabletop, he’s a terror, combining mutant strength with a LOT of firepower and a pretty awful temper – whatever you do, if your opponent hires Gor, do NOT let him charge you!

Gor Half-Horn’s rules and fighter card are included with the model, as well as rules for adding him to your gang in both one-off and campaign games of Necromunda. This is just the first of what Forge World has planned for the game of gang warfare in the 41st Millennium – like Blood Bowl, there are plenty of awesome models in the pipeline to support the plastic ktis and gangs you’ve already seen.

This guy will be available to pre-order on Friday, meaning if you get yours, he should show up around the same time as the rest of your Necromunda orders.

*narrowly beating out pacifists and the insufficiently pious, but falling just short of psykers and heretics…

So cool!

Goatboy is GW´s answer to Hellboy. He just needs an uber-sized stub gun instead of his plasma pistol. But I am not gonna be too nitpicky about this. A really awesome model. We should all rejoice because a new golden age of Necromunda is about to begin.

**Ruin_In_The_Dark**

I agree, a big chunky 6-shooter stub gun would look lovely on him and compliment his big cigar.

**Voss**

The gun reminds me of the old plastic ork plasma weapons. A few extra gubbins on top, but not much.

Spoiler:

**Samsonov**

+1 for all the praise about the Beastman.

**angelofvengeance**

And here is Halfhorn painted:

**zedmeister**

Seeing it painted, the face sculpting is quite clever - the blending of human features with the elongated snout.

Also, sure that's a plasma pistol that he's got? Sure it's not a web pistol? A good weapon for a bounty hunter...

**streetsamurai**

Like it a lot more once I've seen tha painted version. Guess I'll have to buy him also. THe rerelaese of necro is going to cost me an arm and a leg

Is it a bad omen that nothing is sold out yet????

Hopefully it's a sign that GW learned from the SWA mistake and not a sign that the game bombed

Good point. It doesn't share much in the design with regular plasma pistols.

It honestly looks like a hot glue gun and we all know how dangerous one of those are.

Bit optimistic to say that the game is just "a few days away" at this point, unless the article was meant to launch early next week.

Or the writer forgot preorder for this game is two weeks

**streetsamurai**

preorder is two weeks???

Completely missed that. FML

**BrookM**

The official reply from Facebook on the two week pre-order window is the following:

The extended pre-order period is to ensure everyone that wants a copy of Necromunda: Underhive on launch day is able to get one Chad. It will be well worth that wait, believe us!

Picking up mine at Warhammer World.

Along with any other goodies I can sniff out,

People seem to forget that Shadow Wars was intended to be a one and done. There was nothing more planned to come with it.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

And this is the Heresy Game equivalent for this year. Those were really popular, never actually sold out.

Now, how badly will FW feth up the rules for this model and how long until they errata it?

Based on the fact its the fw sg team writing all the rules for necromunda unlikely

Ah, the only downside to pushing all these games onto FW's plate. HH stuff has been put on the back burner for the next few years at least.

He does have what looks like a beefy stub gun holstered on his chest?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Also some kind of gun on his back. You can just see the barrel.

I’m thinking a Shotgun of some description.

I'd say bolter as his primary arm, a laspistol holstered across his front and the Web Pistol he's pointing at someone he wants caught alive.

**MeanGreenStompa**

I love that he's supposed to be the same beastman from all that time ago. If that's the case, then yes, that is a plasma pistol as thats what the old RT era one was carrying.
