On just glad that at this point im gonna give up on my Delaque. We already had to wait a year to get any models, will prob wait even longer to get any juves/etc and with all the focus on other gangs why even bother?
Are we even gonna get a named character? A pet? anything????
Ogryn kit was nice but Specialist Games studio just can't help themselves to give them the meme gun, because meme is funny, but not for the players who have played past the first few funny games.

You know that "all the focus on other gangs" has been kinda screwed with the current world situation, right?
The Escher stuff going up for preorder next Saturday? That was slated for Q2 of 2020!
Spoiler:
This is the original bit, circa earlier this year.
Here's the updated one:
Spoiler:
COVID and the pushing back of products has had a pretty significant impact, outside of 40k 9E which likely couldn't be moved back. Delaque or Cawdor would have been after Van Saar(House of Artifice), but it would have followed the initial release order.

yes, but I still cant help but feeling like they dont give a gak about anyone other than Escher & Goliath. Since the game has been released, it's been almost 3:1 those 2 gangs compare to everyone else. there have been entire new gangs released before the non poster children get anything.
When N17 came out, I was really excited to get back into the game. But since it took more than a year to get my gang and we're still waiting for anything new(FW weapons dont really count) all of my excitement has basically evaporated. As of right now I'm just gonna stop paying attention to N17 until the rest of the gangs get fleshed out w stuff.
How are we supposed to support the game with purchases if it takes forever to get anything? The other gangs do nothing for me so I'm not gonna start one just to get the complete experience.
Other than those issues I really like the ZM & new stronghold, so when GW gets around to my Delaque, I'll have a hideout all ready for them.
I love all these 40K civilian models they've been releasing for Necromunda lately. So many cool options for Inq28 games... I'm definitely going to pick up a couple of those ogryns to go with the Goliath forgeborn I got recently. I'll have enough personnel to keep the factory floor going 25 hours per day at this rate!

And given its a 2-pack x3, you should get enough bitz to do e.g. all with fists and backpacks, or all with gun and another arm.

I'll believe those prices on Saturday.
This is GW, after all - can't see them not pricing the 6 pack much closer to (3 x 2-pack price), unless they really believe there's a maximum price they can get away with for a "starting gang" box.
Especially for something that makes such a solid counts-as for a more expensive unit.

Good stand to take. Verify, verify, verify ...

What have Escher and Goliath gotten that the other 4 Houses won't?
They happened to be in the starter box, but other than that they simply got a box of plastics, some resin add-ons and the occasional related resin figure (of which there are many more in the pipeline, but FW are terribly slow to release them). Escher still don't have figures for their pets, nor for the brute etc. They will only have an "extra" book and box once House of Blades is released because they are earlier in the release cycle, and it's quite obvious all Houses are getting a book and associated plastic kit before too long. And with some luck, your Delaque kit will contain better looking models than my Escher are getting... still unsure whether to try to salvage some bits or just ignore the existence of the zombie Escher, archers and lizardcat monsters altogether...
Increasingly like the look of the Ogryns though. Was close to converting a 40k figure for my gang, but the industrial look of these is definitely better. Shame they designed them so that you can't choose to have actual limbs instead of so many bionic replacements, though at least the repetition won't be obvious when only getting the set of 2. Should have some "big hair" from plastic Dark Elves left over that might create a suitably Eschery haircut on one...

I'm in the same boat. I firmly believe that the Deathmaidens were originally for Warcry or Underworlds but whatever project it was fell through. The dimetrodon-dog pets just look stupid. The Wild Runners look okay and I can live with the bow & arrow given that Escher already use whips.

I wanted a "Big Boss" Criminal Ogryn for a Dark Heresy campaign, who has a couple of "Cyber-Ladz" that he uses as (more) muscle. These Ogryn are perfect for that, especially the cyberised ones with the techno-heads.

This is how they did the Primaris stuff when they had the 'Combat Squad' sets for Hellblasters, Reivers, and Intercessors.
Combat Squad(5 model) sets were $35 for 5 vs $60 for 10.

It's cute how even with the "counts as rolling a 12" rule a Sentry up there can still barely see the ground immediately in front of his tower.
Although that's still enough to break the already broken Sentry rules even further. Like, for a Rescue scenario? The defender puts the captive up there with a Sentry and some backup, and the attacker has an impossible task ahead of them (assuming gang rating parity and dice parity, naturally).
It's also funny how they're releasing new faction dice for factions that already had faction dice released. Even funnier that I'll probably buy them!
love the archers
Hate the lizard cats
Not keen on the Goth assassins and one seems enough.
Box Of Ogryns looks good.

I’m similar on the Escher stuff. The archers are very cool. The lizards are weird but they’ve actually grown on me a bit, and I’m not sure on the assassin things. If you’d asked me before whether I’d prefer the Goliaths or the Eschers, I’d have guessed Escher, but I really liked the Goliath box and am a bit meh on this one.
Definitely getting the book though, I really like House of Chains from a fluff/presentation perspective so I’ve been looking forward to House of Blades.
