The new resin upgrade sprues for Escher

Oh dearie me, that Needle Pistol tip isn't going to survive very long is it

It looks great, but whether they actually are will depend on how the items are split up and how much they are.

It was said a while ago each house may get several (three or more?) weapon sprues. The pics confirm house-specific ones

Weapons packs also appeal for using the Gangers as Cultists and that.

Front left lassie looks like she's carrying a lightning gun!?

Front left?

Plasma I’d say?

Extreme front left. Long barrel with the cooling fins.

Ah, from a different angle, you can see the belt feeds. Tis a heavy stubber

Very nice!

Hey now... ya'll don't be hatting on Mantic. Underdogs got to start somewhere.

I think I have some of the forgefathers from deadzone somewhere...they really weren't that bad. The original dwarves for KoW are showing their age though for sure - then again the whole box was the cost of a 5 man marine squad

Jesus Christ guys, I didn’t come into this thread to look at hideous Mantic models! Let’s put that image in spoilers, shall we...

Actually steel warriors are quite good, the details are on par with GW minis. Just perfect for Squats proxy.

Here just for you!

Are the pipes in the background Mantic?

They look quite nice.

To return to necromunda and GW - I'm quiet surprised we haven't seen the Squad yet. Makes it interesting, when and where they will show him off.

Yes.

Maybe he's not done, just the artwork?

Escher weapons are pretty cool. Three sets still seems OTT - I have 10 Escher left to build and I don't really need sets of weapons for 30 of them.

"Then don't buy all three!"

You can be assured that desirable weapons will be split up across all three sets just because of how the sets are designed (likely a basic one with pistols and HTH weapons, a more heavy one with flamers/melta, and then an exotic one with all the needlers and whatnot).

No sign of Webbers or anything like that. No Grenade Launchers. I'd've hoped for a little more variety, but I doubt we've seen everything.

I dunnno.

Looking at them, it may be the same Weapons in each, just fitting different models?

Stop with the flipping mantic posting. It's bloody annoying when you come to check to see if someone's posted an update for the open day and see another Mantic model.

I was going to suggest the Eldar Corsairs upgrade set from Forge World would do, but that's not any better. The old Eldar weapons sprue from 1st edition would also be a good source of plasma, melta and flamer weapons, but again, bot very easy to find.

At least all the weapons in these packs will be useful to Escher gangs. Not like the old metal weapon pack, where less than half the weapons in each blister were of any use to me.

Well the old metal weapon packs only had the basic and pistol holy trinities (Autogun/Lasgun/Shotgun & Stubgun/Autopistol/Laspistol + a few Knives). It was fine, but overall not the most amazing things for variety.

These have a lot more.

There are only 5 torsos that the weapons fit to. I doubt they've made a weapon kit for each torso.

[EDIT]:Jesus these minis are cool.

Looks like enforcers will be a long way out. Hope 'Mad Dog' isn't the new Maddonna. Glad I have held off on building, weapon pack looks solid. Cyber mastif and cybspiders.

Hmmm...Rise of the Plunderdome.....

Looking at the closeups of the weapons, the only thing that disappoints is I can't spot an "aiming" Needle Rifle, just "held at side" and "held over shoulder" one-handed poses.

There was nothing new in the seminar, it was just an intro to the world and houses. There’s a ‘future of Necromunda’ seminar that’ll have new stuff.

Yeah the seminar was "Welcome to Necromunda!", and just basically said "Here are the gangs. Yay.".

Not exacting hive quaking stuff.

Future of Necro is on soon, so that should be good.

This is more of a homage than anything else, people read too much into some of the more recent stuff done by GW.

This, alongside the Beastman, are in all likeliness nothing more than one-off miniatures for one of their gaiden games.

For sure. No way are they redoing the Squats for 40k.

Prepare to be disappointed then....


Great new weapon sculpts, its a shame theyre not plastic as they'll end up getting to people in the same shoddy condition that 99% of all FW weapons packs and finer detailed smaller stuff does; misshapen like some Dali-esque painting and with enough holes to entertain even the greatest Swiss cheese connoisseur

and I can buy one and use all of it. I've still got plenty of the wrong lasguns and autopistols in my bits box, 20 years on.

Mad Dog is an Orlock bloke and Mad Donna was a woman, so ... probably not.
Also, if you're waiting for Enforcers to come along because you want Adeptus Arbites knockoffs with shotguns and carapace armour, you'll probably be disappointed. I suspect the look of whichever Hive's Enforcers they do (the background implies, IIRC, that each Hive has their own) will be very different.

So, pets, big guys, bounty hunters, hangers on... I'm loving all the add ons we're going to be getting this time around, really bulks up the rp/personalisation of the gangs.
