The barrel length doesn't matter, but the powder charge does. I mean, you can try to use a sawn off one handed, like Caleb does in Blood, but it will really hurt your wrist.

Please. I watched Terminator, and he did just fine. Racked it with one hand, too!

Barrel length does matter- the shorter you make the barrel, the less kick it has, because more gas escapes before imparting energy to the shot. I still wouldn't want to use one one handed, unless it was reallly short! This is the same universe that has semi-auto rocket grenade launcher pistols though, so I don't a sawn-off shotgun is much more than that!

Hired guns are one battle fighter.

Hive Scum cost 30 credit, you can give them 60 credit worth of equipment (pistol, basic, close combat ) no armor? Max 5 per battle.

Bounty Hunter cost 80 credit: 3 profile, can only hire 1 per battle.
- M 5" , WS 3+,BS 3+, S3, T3, W 2, A 1, Cl 5+
-M 3" , WS 3+, BS 4+. S3, T4, W 2, A 1, Cl 7+
-M 4" , WS 3+, BS 4+. S3, T4, W 1, A 2, Cl 6+

Flak or Mesh armor.

Can have 150 credit worth of equipment from any sections in the Trading Post, can have up to FIVE weapons. But only 1 unwieldy weapon.

3 random skill from any skill table of choice (except leadership)

Claim bounty : no more coup de grace = capture. If the gang capture a fighter, roll a D6, on a 6+ the fighter is a wanted outlaw, receive bonus D6x10 credit if sold to the guilder. Look like this work even if the bounty hunter go out of action.

Asked previously, was not answered, giving it another shot.

Were release windows hinted at for the the sculpts shown at the weekender? Ordering from FW isn't exactly cheap on shipping so I am hoping a good chunk will be soon so it can be ordered together.

Well that's one box of them for sure, maybe 2 or 3.

At the very least I'll be doing rotory shotguns+scions+skitari heads to make some arbites.

I feel like arbites conversions are best left till we see what the new enforcers look like. They might be seperate entities, but I have a hard time thinking they wont channel the classic look of the old arbites models.

I've done about a half dozen different Arbites over the years so what's one more variant? Certainly if/when Enforcers come out I can see me getting an IG army's worth.

I could not agree more. After decades of that, I'm not going back to metal miniatures ever again.

Human, Squat and Ork profiles?

Third one could be one for the Goliath bounty hunter.

They're not bound to any model specificly, you can pick any profile you want.

I've painted a ton of metals over the last year and I found I liked that I could get right to painting without a lot of time assembling, clipping and cleaning up. As long as they're simple casts, 1 or 2 pieces they're now my preference. Obviously anything complicated should be plastic.

But each to their own.

Those Made to Order minis are unfortunate choices.

They really serve to highlight the difference in sculpting and materials technology since we last saw Necromunda.

It's probably not the whole lot. I might pick up Kal Jerico & Scabbs (the problem is as much the painting as the mini).

Kal's bonce is awful though. Rest of his model is quite nice.

I love the fact that the shoulderpads are separate. And those revolvers are giving me warm feeling just all over.

Yep, the Orlocks are great, never bothered by the original minis, but these are so much better IMO. Can't wait now for previews of my gang of choice: Cawdor...

Wonder how well the Black Scorpion pirate range scale-up with these figures - always thought their Privateer Officer would make a better KJ (with weapon swaps and a little greenstuff work here and there

I just notice that it seem they only give 1 pair of arm to go with either the harpoon launcher or the heavy stubber in each sprue.

Its also the arms used for the resin heavy bolter, but as you get 2 sets of the arms per box and only Champions/leader can use them, its not a deal breaker.

Nah, don't really mind because I just need the gun, and it doesn't have any arm on it.

Same for the Neophyte Hybrid, I like their guns in the kit but some of them have Genestealer arm stuck on it.

Privateer Officer

I really dig the idea of adding some tri-corner hats to the underhivers.

You have a great idea there those Black Scorpion minis fit right in with the old range. The new range- I can say that there looks like a TON of great bits to add to the minis. Head swaps look dead on, and you have a great idea there on Kal Jerico. ( Hey all, That old mini did not age well AT ALL!!! That thing looks like.... er... That miniature won't work with the new range, it is a bit rough.)

Mad Donna, she's a little small, compared to the new Eshers, too. The real question will come with Karloth Valois and the Plague zombie faction...

I have the screencap of the page, I just don't want GW to strike my imgur account.

Why would anyone want to choose flak over mesh?

Yeah, that's weird. Flak is 5+ save against explosives, right? And mesh is 5+ save against anything? So mesh is overall better. Unless Flak is 5+ unmodifiable.

That seems like a good value compared to a Goliath Ganger.

What about Initiative, Leadership, Willpower, Intelligence?

What happens when a captured fighter is an outlaw and sold, is he permanently removed from the gang? All weapons lost?

The rule for capture fighter are in gang war, if you have escape artist, you don't have to worry about being capture.

the other stat

1 : I 3+ Ld 7+ Wil 6+ Int 6+
2 : I 5+ Ld 5+ Wil 5+ Int 5+
3 : I 4+ Ld 7+ Wil 7+ Int 8+

No they don't, it said the 150 credit are "in addtion to choice of armor" It is there mostly for flavor.

Well not Leadership but also not Savant.

I don't see anywhere that a Bounty Hunter replaces Coup de Grace with a Capture, is that on a different page?
