Looks good for converting into a GorkaMorka fortress!

Between Sector Mechanicus, Zone Mortalis, and now the gang stronghold, by weight, Necromunda is about 95% terrain sprue, 4% miniatures, and 1% dice.

Needs a building as a focal point, but a very nice starting point for terrain.j


Lots of uses for this one.

Honestly, depending on how modular it is, customizing a base for your gangs with your gang colors and decals could be very awesome - even adding trophies and displays as you win (or lose) games over a campaign.

It's just... I mean, terrain we got. How about GW do something about the ForgeWorld-only weapons and dramatis personae?

Add in 50% books!

Nah man. They ain't got time for that. They've got to release the rules for House Escher for the 4th time, and then Orlocks, Van Saar and Cawdor for the third time, and then Delaque for the second time. Leaves little room to backfill all the missing stuff.

Could be a decent 40k fortress wall even.

Oh my wallet!

I thought you might like this news.

I'm excited as well. wonder if itll be a $100 kit? Any terrain that seamlessly flows between killteam/necromunda and 40k is all good by me.

I managed to find 28mm corrugated steel sheets. Few of those, with gang logos stencilled on as graffiti, with adhesive putty? Sorted.

It's actually pretty good terrain for all factions who use human architecture or dwell in it - without all those shrines, winged metal skulls, aquilas and dead Cadians.

Indeed it is...and it's got me wondering if it might be something getting produced by GW proper rather than elsewhere.

Also, I want two.

Gang Stronghold looks great but I would like to see how it sits on Zone Mortalis boards. Either way, I know I'm buying at least one.

Perfect for Genestealer Cults then.

It says that it is compatible with the ZM terrain - I assume that means the tiles too. The walls look thinner, possibly locking inside the rivets rather than outside (three rivets, three small arches in the same spot). The water tank legs look like they would lock onto the outter corners of a pillar cell, and though the pillar segments themselves color outside the lines, they could still lock on the inside.

The real problem is that the ZM tiles haven't been seen for six months, so for anybody who didn't get a set when they first launched, the point is moot anyway.

They’ve been in and put of stock the UK. I’ll check my boxes when I get in, but suspect it’s a China outsourced product, so COVID will be playing merry hell with the supply chain.

It is.

I regret not ordering a second set when I ordered mine.

Knocked those out in an afternoon after I got them. So. Much. Fun.

At some point I might go back and add some more detailing or weathering, but for the purposes of just getting them done to go with the Dark Uprising scenery? Worked great.

I can't help but feel there's either a 1 or a 0 missing here...

Such as? It looks they're all in stock and available on the FW site, though I don't recall the exact number of head or weapon packs for each gang.

You appear to have missed a 0?!

This looks really cool and great for so many purposes. Windmill slam on pre-order for me.

I think it's more that they're "Forge World only" that's the problem.

They look very cool but then Mordheim also looked spot on

Or indeed part of a Kharadron Overlords structure

That kit looks great, will definitely get a set or two. Should work great both for my Eschers and for my Orks.

Yeah, still not seeing it, Kan.

Necromunda is, in and of itself, a Direct Only item for GW.

Adding in another hoop for people to jump through(and one with fairly hefty shipping fees to boot!) isn't great.

Looks decent.

As you can see, the word stronghold is a pretty good description.... .

Er... is it, though?



"Right, boys, we're gonna raid the Greaser's stronghold. They've fortified it real good, so we might lose a few of you tryin' to get through that frakkin' wall..."

"Err, boss... Couldn't we just go around the back?"



It's not really a stronghold... just a walkway with a barricade under it. I like the (what I assume is a) water still, though. And the tower is nice enough, although the H-beam supports on the top level being rotated at 90 degrees to the lower level supports make my eye twitch.

For the purposes of Necromunda and a ganger hangout?

Yeah, I'd call it a stronghold.

Rome conquered the world pretty much off the back of wooden palisade battlefield fortifications.

Yes, because such a structure is going to be smack bang in the middle of an open field, right?

Seriously, this is your complaint?

That is pretty much how they've pictured it.

The weird thing is that it includes almost enough plastic to enclose the rear, if the dog leg at the side just turned inwards instead of out. Or they could have pictured two kits together, or butted it up against a wall in one of the pics. Just something other than picturing a line of wall and calling it a stronghold.


So yes, that's my complaint. It's not a particularly big issue, just something that I found amusing from the pics.
