I mean, I expected more in line with 'scarring' and less resembling 'wad of wax that got thrown against the wall a few times and grew tits'.

People were saying the Kal Jerico model has bad sculpting, but Mad Donna is just atrocious.

Did they ever say why these are the only 3 models they chose for Made To Order? Did they lose the moulds for everything else?

They are very rare models, Mad Donna goes for a lot of money. Atrocious sculpt though, I tried to make it look good but it’s near impossible.

it was the glorious 90's, she coulda been wearing a red 1 piece and running. but the sculpt was horrid, even for those halcyon days of yore.

She served as a Escher Gang Leader many'a time, and performed her duties excellently.

The real Sculpt we want is Bunny Anderson. Sniper bounty Hunter extraordinaire.

Who is this “we”? That’s dreadful. Even down to the gun that looks like the front half of an Ork volt pistol stuck to the back half of a stubgun.

Made to order is now up, Mad Donna and Kal only

That paint job does not do the model any favors, yikes.

I like that she coordinates her gun and sword with her booty shorts.

Seventy-One and the Pig, get the names of her tools right.

* chirping grasshopper noizes*

Someone on GW spanish page made a mistake the first day of preorders, i preordered my Underhive Badzone Delta 7 and it cost me 25 € instead of 32.50 €

On Gang war 2 there are no rules for the hired gun model with the spear, but there are for a bounty hunter called Yar Umbra armed with an scoped laser rifle

GW did not try not sell the old Sly Marbo model just before the new one was offered for sale. Does this mean that we are not going to have a new Mad Donna model? That would be a VERY sad affair. She is an iconic character that deserves a new model like Sly Marbo.

@Grot 6:
Is the female bounty hunter a conversion or a non GW figure? Never seen that one in the 90s.

They've said many times that there will be a Mad Donna made. Also that Belladonna isn't Mad Donna.

It’s an official GW figure. She was a special character introduced in one of the magazines published to support Necromunda (can’t remember if it was the Necromunda or Gang War magazine. It wasn’t the combined Fanatic magazine, anyway).

Marbo had been on sale for years prior, and I think he was being sold during the Guard Made to Order run last year.

I almost ordered Mad Donna out of a sense of nostalgia. Then I saw the sculpt.

Why?

Because special weapons are 'special', hence the name.

So, the Orlock gang box set shows you how to build the 'named' figures. But there's no character cards for them or stats. Nor is there any character cards in the pack of cards. There's no downloadable cards on the Necromunda website.

Have GW forgotten these or is there a future release?

I read somewhere that the points on the first set of cards don't match to the rulebook points. Seeing as though myself, wife and lad are using those character cards 'as is' out of the starter box I was hoping these named Orlock figures would have cards. Even the 'Orlock' book doesn't have them - just loads of Bounty Hunters.

The pre-filled out cards from the starter set belongs to a system no longer being developed along with the house list system in Underhive. They are both dead. The only system that is going to survive is the Gang War system and it currently has no pre-made cards yet. When Blood Bowl was released a lot of people wanted the cards for different teams similar to those released in the starter box for the two starter box teams. Unfortunately as more and more teams were released, no such cards was available. That changed about 1 year later, when suddenly a few teams go additional card decks with both blank cards and pre-made cards for all miniatures. Maybe GW would do something similar for Necromunda in the future, however they already have released the card decks for all current gangs so it's hard to see how they would choose to sell pre-made cards after the decks are already sold without them.

The point costs and stats are different from the pre-made cards and the Underhive rulebook, but also the Underhive points and stats are different from the Gang War system.

Even nostalgia can't help her, that thing isn't worth a penny.

Not that it's a beautiful model but it can look way better with a proper and **well thinned paints**

Why mad donna has grass on her foot? Duncan always says to paint base as the rest of our army... is she in a blood bowl team now ?

@reluxor:
She apparently takes a stroll in some sort of biodome. Battlestar Galactica featured a biodome on the space ship Cloud 9 (http://galactica.wikia.com/wiki/Cloud_9).

Because, they will made new models for ratskins and scavvies when they will release them. Probably next year.

That doesn't answer the question.

Why shouldn't they take them?

Okay I thought the face was sculpted with huge lips for some reason, it looks way more reasonable with a better paintjob. Still not great, but you know...not that, anyway.

So, I haven't bought any of the cards yet for any of the gangs, are they really necessary if you play with the Gang War rules? It sounds like the cards might not even be accurate anymore based on the current line of discussion, or am I misunderstanding?

You absolutely need some kind of individual record for each fighter because the gang sheet simply doesn’t have any space for it.
As for the “official” cards, there are four kinds in two groups: tactic cards in generic and gang(house) specific kinds, and fighter cards in blank and pre-filled kinds.
Only the pre-filled ones are obsolete in Gang War/campaign mode.

Spoiler:

That’s not the original paint job from outlanders though - that’s a new one.

The paint scheme GW has chosen is just... wow... not good.

I believe this was the original:

Then just make your own sheet in Excel. It's what I did.

I don’t recall saying otherwise?
