As a rare scenario, I would be interested in a mission;
where a lone imperial fist gets into a brief fight while he "recruits" a juve from a gang. (With the option to just wave goodbye and not fight)
The worst gang in your league (that guy who gets the really bad luck and ends up with 3 gangers left mid campaign) can turn to chaos and gets a hand from a chaos marine until they level out with the rest of the league.

But a space marine in Necromunda should be like Artemis was in inquisitor scary as ..... and stupidly OP. As mentioned above by someone else marines and a lot of 40k units would be on another level even compared to gangs turned up to 11.

Speaking of Inquisitor that would be an expansion I would like to see after the main gangs get done.

Also I need a Ross kemp mini, because that would be an amazing set of diorama pics

Hahaha, a Ross Kemp mini would be superb

I could see a rogue marine hired gun working well, actually... basically a renegade, except not a chaos worshipping one. It does happen in the fluff, and having them as an (expensive) hired gun would make them appropriately tough without breaking anything. Its not more unrealistic than a beastman with a plasmapistol anyway.

Ronin-like space marines would be awesome in so many ways!

I’m with the “keep the Space Marines out of the underhive” crowd. They are super soldiers bred for the toughest opposition humanity faces. Not slumming it in the bowels of hive cities. Even renegades would see that as beneath them.

I don't know, if the renegade space marine cast off his armor (for whatever reason) or to the very least had only pieces of it left and had only basic weapons, he could be a balanced match against a powerful gang.

He'd also basically just be a tougher Goliath.

Seriously guys, this was the sort of thing that showed up in the Journal ages & ages after the game had come out and folk had run out of other actually interesting ideas for stuff to add, and shoehorning in Marines or whatever else takes away resources the SG team could be using on said interesting stuff instead. Can folk not just play Kill Team with gangs as IG or whatever if they really absolutely *must* have ganger vs Marine combat?

B-b-but... without Space Marines it is not Warhammer!

Don't believe me? Look at Fantasy.

At this stage I'm holding back. It sounds like the Necromunda game is not complete without Gang War and the lure of other gangs (Arbites? Please?) is too strong.

I like the reimagined Goliaths and the Escher look great but if there's more to come then I can wait.

Alas GW, with long (long, long) awaited armies like Genestealer Cults and Mechanicus how can I keep up?

All they need now is Sensei warbands and I'm finished.

Only if you match it with a Danny Dyer to be the softest, weediest gimp in the Underhive!

Not Arbites, please.

Enforcers, OK. But I'd prefer them to have their own look, not just cheap Arbites knock-offs (which they were in-universe). Arbites can go into 40k when Codex: Imperial Agents is released. I'd like to see the return of the Brat gangs - perhaps with a Spyrer as a Hired Gun.

Before third edition, I could see Marines and Orks being part of the background (although as a 40k campaign, not as part of the Necromunda game), as an Ork invasion and the subsequent Imperial retaliation led by the Imperial Fists resulted in The Skull - a ruined hive now home to outcasts, heretics and mutants. But that was retconned from being a century before "now" to during the Great Crusade.

I never thought I'd see the word "Squats" in an official GW publication again... Ever.

Interesting times.

Indeed. Seems as if GW has discovered the concept of Fan Service

There is cash money money in nostalgia. Especially when their target audience is now capable of spending wild amounts of money they never could first time round.

I'll go all in for Necromunda. I was too young (and too poor) to get the original models. Not missing out again.

Same here! I had a Ratskin and Orlock gang (painted terribly) and some banged up terrain. Looking forward to doing it properly now I have the cash and have improved my modelling skills. The 23rd is going to be like Christmas Eve in my house!

I'm looking forward to seeing what the Inquisimunda community does with the rules.

and using my Ratskins again... but they better be silly like last time.

Inquisimunda - nice.
Is there a hint that the rules have changed?

Inquisi-munda is cool. I believe the Pilgrym event at Warhammer World was based off rules like that. I'd love to make a custom retinue of acolytes, again.

I think the rule changes are how a model is activated, players alternate activating one model at a time, and they get two actions they can do. Plus, the introduction of Cool, Intelligence and Willpower can make for interesting rules mechanics.

Something interesting information on today twitch?

From what I collect from Yaktribe (which mean might or might not be correct):

-Model for Juve (no idea if it's plastic or FW)

-Weapon sprue will be FW (boo!)

-Alt model for Leader (goliath)

-Someone at the office make Female Goliath that might enter production.

-There might be attack pet in the future, for example big cat for Escher.

- New scenario in WD, hire gun, trading post supplement, more supplement for Gang War apparently......

-Outlander in 2019.

Yup, as expected, they're going to flog us bits of the postgame sequence as micro-DLC. Glad I chose not to buy Gang War now, in the event I actually get some games in next year I'll rely on someone else's copy and then buy the inevitable compilation later.

The female Goliath thing is interesting, if it's not against some prior bit of explicit fluff and the models are done properly(ie, they're built like a palette of bricks) I'd be down for that.

I've been wanting big fierce dogs - actually their 40K equivalent - since forever. Always thought Orks should have them. So yes please!

Thanks for the info!



Nothing about the coming rules for genestealer cults and chaos cultists? (when!!!)

Not even an official statement that they are on the way.

Just some speculation based on some of the background pieces in the Underhive book.

Baa-rilliant.

He’s goat the muscle to help nanny the kids in a new gang, but seems suitably expensive that he won’t be rammed into any old list.
