Plastic Necromunda terrain incoming?



Unsure what to do here. I’ve always wanted an extra set of tiles but if plastic is coming.... these tiles were the best thing I ever bought from FW or GW. Incredibly versatile terrain. I would also be concerned that GW tiles will be plastered in skulls and loose the FW look. The lack of usable doors is all that’s putting me off.


It is highly unlikely that plastic tiles are on the way. If you want any of these, you best move fast as they're selling out...

Edit - annnnd they've all gone. Blimey...

We'll find out soon enough eh.

Nothing like LCTB to make me glad I own a 3D printer.

EDIT: Though if they were to replace the ZM tiles with plastic ZM walls that are properly "finished"(ie they're tall enough that the Arch detail and the top of the pillars are actually shown), yeah I could see that loosening the old wallet a bit.

They are just my speculations .But GW at the NOVA seminar said there will be 3D scenery for necromunda, and right now they withdraw this. Its curious at least

I don't think it means anything. It was a poorly supported niche game that required buying a full table of terrain that you couldn't use for anything else. TBH the only surprise is that it lasted this long when sales must have been essentially zero.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

It isn’t a niche game. It is what it is - terrain, for those who don’t like big vehicles and still want to push around miniatures in an environment where long rage shooting wouldn’t be a dominating factor

It's fun to play on for the odd scenario or special event, but like a lot of FW's stuff, when put on a table it can look awfully mismatched and ill-fitting, as the tiles are literally large one-piece chunks of hollow resin, with quite a bit of warping around the edges, meaning your tiles will never properly line up. Even more so if you got their doors, they could also be an arse to get fitted into place.

Some of my most enjoyable games were on the ZM board at WHW using the Badab rules or the 30k equivalents.

Only reason I never picked a set up was storage and that I don’t have a space big enough to use the now I have a family.

Your last point is especially laughable and comical, because not only the 7th ed Valkyrie shown dumber things (like being able to throw the troopers without parachutes out of its hatches, no harm done) - Irbis

They're on 50mm bases, so maybe a smidge larger.

They'd need to be pretty big to justify a $115 price tag.

That's a shame. They are such lovely models- easily my favorite demon models so far. I just don't think I could possibly ever justify them!

I'm surprised they are sold as a trio and not on their own; but I guess that makes for one instead of three moulds for casting?

Otherwise I really hope they get some AoS and 40K rules !

FW really should do more diorama photos of their stuff. It's like the Dread Sauron looks really overpriced until you see it standing next to other models and you realise its freaking huge!

IDK they are definitely steep, but they look to be the size of a plastic demon prince which some how retails for $41. So you can basically get 3 demon princes minus the wings for ~$38 a piece only they don't look like straight garbage (I hate the plastic prince sculpt).

EDIT

But then I think of this kit ($50) and totally snap out of it

On a 50mm they'll be a touch smaller, however the lack of sigmar/40k rules is the nail in the coffin. If they had rules for all systems there was at least a chance I might use them.

Yeah, where the f**k are the 40k rules. I really wanted them for my Flawless Host but since I cant use them looks like a no sale for me. I understand that they're supposed to be of the Ruinstorm itself but the Cicatrix Maledictum would also fuel them so WTF GW!

You guys realise you're basically asking GW to provide 40K rules for Skaven Rat-ogres, right?

If you want to play 30K units, play 30K. Or, counts-as something else.

Except these are Chaos Demons and basically everything Chaos cross complies in almost all the games when it comes to the Demons. About the only things that don't are things like the Brass Scorpion and its like - ergo machines.

All the organics and beasties and demon entities cross over all the games - heck most of the 30K Chaos Demon models are from the other lines in FW.
