Surprisingly enough, that's a different entry. Rogue Doc vs the Apprentice Clan Chymist(which is the Escher hanger-on).

Wasn't a fan of the weird decision on the look of the 'half-zipped hazmat suit', but the entry seemingly being generic means I can make my own.

Dunno, I suspect a Hazmat suit is a fairly uncomfortable thing to wear most of the time. But that model would certainly fit the bill, and I think looks pretty good.

Given the BSF eldar debacle, I wonder if there is a rogue artist in the GW stable that has some anatomical difficulties.

Also there are a number of awesome Heresy Lab inquisitor and others that would probably fit the House Ulanti Courtier bill.

It looks like she was standing straight and then they added crossed legs? Or something?

It's a shame, because the rest of the picture is really good.


Yeah, Graphite? Might want an eye test, dude.

I'll allow for slightly better definition/reflections being needed, and the near shin has some off proportions, but her far leg is straight up-and-down. Her near leg is twisted at the knee, with her foot angled at the ankle onto her instep.

Having just gotten up off my sofa and tried it out - admittedly, without the boots - it is perfectly physically doable without being a mermaid, if not particularly comfortable in the medium-to-long term.

I tried it also, and then made my wife stand so I could see it from the same angle. It is perfectly do able.

I think it would have been better to have a tiny bit of right thigh showing at the top (though anatomically the angle just hides it perfectly..)

Gonna have to disagree with you as well Kanluwen, those legs are pretty borked... and it isn't the kneepad.

With some spare Escher parts and a bit of conversion, you’d probably come up with something good that fits the bill. Another reason I like this plethora of characters they pile into the book. Gives me some inspiration to do some proper conversions. Personally, not really had that feeling with a GW product for many a year...

Arr you talking about in lore? Or in game? Because you can fix sights to bows that can adjust for distance... so that one doesn't seem to off to me. Don't know about gunshroud though.

No, that pose is absolutely not doable. Those trying it at home and "succeeding" aren't doing it right. You can't rotate the leg out at the knee, only at the hip, but the hip is obviously not rotated out because the thigh is going straight forward.

Now that you mention it, both! Sounds interesting to have sights on a bow. But yeah, that gunshroud though.

Why would you need a silencer on a silent weapon though?

Good point. However, most arrows are silent, but acid are not. Some suggested that's caused by the victim is screaming

Speaking as someone who carried a scar from an acid burn for many years, I've never found acid to be particularly noisy.

I don't believe for a second that GW intended Newcromunda to be a one-and-done box, with only two of the 6 main gangs.
It is similar to Blood Bowl 1 year earlier. 2 teams. Incomplete/demo rules limited to the contents of the box. Like dipping a toe in the water. If the market was too cold, they could easily abandon the project.



Exactly and the same as when they did Adepticus Titanicus, which was even more of a gamble because it had the most expensive starter box released by GW. All those games were designed as "one box and done" core releases. The idea being that if the market reacted badly GW could adjust what came after or even abandon the project. Of course with the lead time on developments if they abandoned or changed after the launch there would still have been a few expansions that would have made it through the system to release before it wound up. The idea for GW was to be able to dip their toes into different specialist games with the ability to leave them "abandoned" but in a complete state if the market didn't pick them up. At the same time they clearly remained open to being able to scale things up as well if the market reacted really well.

My impression from how its messed with Forgeworlds teams is that the market didn't react well. It reacted insanely well and the result was the games have nearly all had a big turn around.

I wonder a lot about the popularity/reach of the game.

Consensus seems to be it's doing really well, and the expanding releases prove it. On the other hand, there never seems to be that many people talking about it online. Yaktribe is a steady but slow drip of discussion. The Necromunda reddit is mostly people posting paintjobs. In terms of the youtube/podcast battle report ecosystem it's never seemed like Necromunda has made much of an impact. So I'm constantly curious about how much of the success is people buying the models to use in 40K or as shelf-sitters versus how much the game is actually being played out there. I suppose that due to its campaign-centric design it's much more suitable for private, local gaming groups to quietly play rather than the competitive tournament-centric that generates more public discussion.



I got into Necromunda at about the Gang book 3 time and got the rest to catch up. Then there was the rulebook and gang book consolidated that came out. I got the new rule book. Then they did the rediculously priced box set and i couldn't do it. Now seeing all the books and them going to several books again I refuse to do it. Wasted too much money on the Gang books then they came out with a consolidated one. No thanks for me.

Too strong a term perhaps, but Amallyn Shadowguide's combat Stance is also rather less than comfortable... Or useful...

Doesn't look like a "combat stance" to me...

Can't see what the big deal is.

She is angling her hips. And you can angle you lower leg a bit to each sidewithout changing hip position noticably.
The pose is weird, but easily doable, just tried it for fun myself. I think the ones saying it is impossible are interpreting the stance incorrectly, or you have very stiff lower legs.

That pose look like she just inject her leg with a paralytic drug. The one they usually use in transquilizer.
