That Hired Guns bundle costs $429 USD separately ($335 together), so that’s a significant savings. They also got rid of their old, smaller Hired Guns bundles.

£273 down to £210 in the UK. It's an odd bundle as it includes some of the House-locked ones (Kria the Huntress) but not others (Slate Merdena).

Bigby has his own rules, and we're still missing the Rogue Doc and Look-out (from Gangs of The Underhive), ‘Narker, Proxy & Propagandist (The Book of Judgement) and Cadaver Merchant, Heretek & Agitator (The Book of Ruin).

House of Chains also added some more. Fixers, scabbers, brute handlers and pit trainers are a choice with only the last one restricted to Goliath.

I’m expecting from the upcoming books a release of guild miniatures for each one, plus rules for more hangers on, one noble house, and a different gang like we had the slave ogryns.

We already had the fixer and scabber (outlaw) from previous books. You are correct about brute handler being new, however it is universally available to all gangs. Other new ones are Chem dealer (universal) and Pit Trainer (Goliath only).

Am away in Scotland (staying in a Stately Home, because reasons) so cant check my books.

You need a rules compilation pdf, easy to check anywhere any time!

I'm gonna throw this out there now: These secondary gangs are how they're going to deal with some of the stuff from Outlanders insofar as this is mainly how we will end up getting gangs outside of the "core" gangs. So they're going to be thematically linked to the core gangs while not necessarily straight (re)interpretations of the old Outlanders content.

But one gang I'm somewhat expecting a return of is the Redemptionists in the Cawdor book. Maybe? It would fit, but they might go further and expand on the theme. Who knows.

Do we know when the Ogryns go on preorder or even what's in the kit yet?

Nope and nope, in that precise order. So far as I’m aware.

I strongly suspect the kit will include plastic Slave Ogryns...

I’m sure they simply said, “later this year”, which is disappointing. I wish FW and Specialist Games would actually release everything covered in one book, before releasing the next book for once.

A valid point.

Any idea how many?

Propably 2 per sprue. They could do 1 like the ambots but I doubt they have enough fists to fill the sprue with. Hopefully...

Generally speaking, no later than three months from the date when it is first shown painted. This has been true for specialist games as far as I know.
Main Studio has exceptions, like SoB which were teased for a very long time, and stuff like Old World has a very long time from tease to release.
But in general, once a model is shown, three months seems to be the frame.

I’d guess a gang of them , I know I should have resisted .

I'm expecting 3 or 4, though I'm not sure which at this point.

It’ll be 2 or 4.

It will not be 3. The sprues will be repeated so it will be an even number, likely 4.

I'm guessing two per sprue. That seems the most likely anyway.

House of Blades is next (to no one's surprise).

Appears to be two chicks with big headdresses and veiled faces, and two Juve-ish girls, one of which has a massive recurve bow.

And cats... cats with fins. Reptile cats. Dimetradon cats. Who knows. Whatever they are they're pets and in plastic.

Those dark shifty looking Escher's are kind of a surprise. I did think we would be getting some kind of cat-like creatures in plastic. But I still hope they get the khimerix and phyrr cats in resin just like how the goliaths got their berzerker. These look like worthwhile additions to the house. Looking forward to the Van Saar stuff later in the year.

Shocked that there was no blood bowl reveal.

I'm wondering if all those Escher are going to be in one kit. I mean, they aren't that big, and I could imagine a sprue having 1 death girl, 2 archers, and 2 lizkitties.

Not what I had expected for Escher, but not really sure what I was expecting them to get as it stands.

I really like these. I think they'll make great conversion fodder too!

Speaking of conversions, I think one or two of these will end up in my Eschers gang.

I'd say two sprues per box, with 1 dead girl, 2 wyld girls, two lizardcats and 2 tactical rocks per sprue.

What was the Goliath box set up and Sprue set up compared?

Same as every other Necromunda sprue: One sprue doubled.

The sprue made a Stimmer and 2 Forge-born, and you got 2 in the box.

I like the Escher models, but not too keen on the lizard cat things.

The Death maiden is an unholy abomination of ugliness.

Probably the only good thing about them is the spiked stiletto heels, which should've been a weapon, and have pose of them kicking with it.

The Wyld Runners look like fully fledged gangers unlike the not juves that the Goliaths got.

I'm... not a fan. The zombie ladies come from nowhere, and not in a good way, and the... Katniss Everdeen wannabes? Er, I don't quite dislike them, but the bows seem like a baffling choice.

The catrats are alright, better than the resin ones we saw.

They’re hunters, right? Probably special teams sent into the wild sump spaces to find exotic mutants to turn into new products. Don’t want to be accidentally exploding valuable experimental specimens with lasers and self-detonating bullets…

@Jake, that was my first thought too, I already have a couple of juves converted from witch aelves.
