Is there any place that has all of the previous tactics cards compiled in a pdf or scans? I have most of the miniatures but I missed the cards at release and not going to pay scalper rates to try and track them down just to play on an even field.

I got you covered

I have most of the original cards from GW for both Necromunda and Blood Bowl. What is annoying is the back side some times has a different hue/shine/colour, making them 'marked' and possible to identify if taking a closer look. Adding transparent sleeves does not help much either. This is even the case for some of the cards for Warhammer Underworlds.

Thanks I’ll need to swing by yaktribe. The different backs or home printed stuff isn’t an issue I’ll just use solid backed sleeves. (Used to do the same when playtesting with CCGs.

That is a good solution yes.

Am I counting right, are there only two powerfists per sprue of Ogryns, left and right?

It's hard to tell looking at the sprue , but looking at the photos it does look like there's only one augmetic fist per Ogryn (two fists on a sprue of two Ogryns). I wonder if the Kastelan Robot fists will be too big...

Look to me like 2 fists (R&L) per sprue.

#32-35

#40-42

Yeah - there's nothing that could be a clenched fist on there (or in the photos).

The Kastelan fist is as big as a 40k plastic Ogryns leg, if you include the little bit of armour sticking out at the end. So roughly 33% longer, I'd say, and much thicker due to being a cylinder.


Bummer that there's not enough fists to make both ogryns dual wield them. Or three at least.

Might have to raid my Ork bitz box - see if cut-down Kan arms would work (possibly as rock cutter / saw). I wonder if AoS Ironguts arms would work for the melee weapons...

So it occurred to me last night that the Ogryn Slave Gang has a bunch of weapon options that are not in the box (in fact, there are only 3 weapon options in the box).

Do we know if FW will be making weapon accessory kits for these guys like they did with the other 6 gangs?

I would hope so. The thought of a giant Ogryn ganger with a rock-saw or double-handed hammer sounds like a lot of fun.

Damnation, I was *really* hoping we would start to see some Necro FW releases today... >.<

Also still hoping for some Corpse Grinder Cult alt weapons and heads - still have a single sprue left from Dark Uprising just awaiting for some alt. loadouts!

I'm really hoping they don't do escher dirty and actually do models for the phyrr cats/khimerix and house ulanti. Goliath got it good, they got the pit slaves, sumpcroc early on, their berzerker brute.

Honestly when the original phyrr cat sculpts were teased I thought one of the two was pretty decent. The one rearing up looked bad, but the other was just fine. It's been so long part of me wishes they would have just released those even though they weren't that good.

If you connect the augmetic fist with the backpack you get the Arc Welders. With that and the paired fists it's not as bad as it first sounds and I'm converting one of the Goliath rock saws right now

Terminator fists might work

Don't know if anyone's interested in the video game, but it's 20% off on pre-order at the moment on Steam and Xbox.

Thanks - already ordered and looking forward to it.

Me to. Never pre-ordered, well, anything before but the price is fairly low, 20% is a pretty good discount and the campaign is written by Andy Chambers so it can't be all bad!

I still see it has half a game.

And pre-ordering is a mug's game.

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.

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.

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.

Pic or it didn't happen.

Either I'm misinterperating the drawing, or you guys have lower legs made of rubber. It sure looks anatomically impossible to me.

I really enjoy their Mordheim - have it on PC and PS4 and at this point in my life - the cost is negliable.

I think the reduced price is okay and also preordered already. I support what they have done so far and as I usually do not buy many games these days I went with this and Cyberpunk 2077 for the second half of 2020. I hope the long dev time was good for the game and also hope they will make enough money to add the other three houses. Many RTS games like Starcraft had three factions and for the campaign and in the first months of the game I'm okay with playing these three only. Looking for more though. I think the gameplay blog posts show a game one can enjoy playing and so far it also nails the Necromunda setting. To me immersion and setting are an important part of the translation of a board to a video game and based on the trailers this looks to have been made well. Rules is a different topic and as long as it feels like playing a gang in the Underhive I'm okay with some changes. Not that happy with the limitation of 5 gangers per mission. But they asuameably did this because of the AI or other reasons preventing the game to get boring. We will see how it plays. I'm looking forward to it. Cant wait for its release.

You can refund a pre-ordered game within 2 weeks of release.

In other words, pre-ordering poses zero risk to anybody other than those who lack the ability to independently assess a game, and can only enjoy something if it reviews well. For those people who need multiple co-signs from reviewers and the widespread blessing of a gaming community, two weeks might not be long enough for that to develop.

A GSC rock saw would most likely have looked much better as it's way bulkier, but I only have one of them and it's intended to go to the Cult and the Ogryn boss is gonna get bulging biceps so it being practically one-handed isn't really a problem

Less than half a game. Only half the base gangs, gang size is inexplicably 5, and they've cut the gangs down into little chunks- Escher, for example is a melee poison build- gang and speciality bonuses almost exclusively emphasize melee weapons (and specific ones as well).

That they're still shy about showing off gameplay with less than 2 weeks to go is a really bad sign.

I have been able to play Necromunda in months. Hoping this will scratch that Underhive itch.

What's the story with that mask? Is it designed to go over the face in addition to being flipped up, or did you have to do some facial surgery to make that happen?

It's a completly seperate part so it can go both on the face or be flipped up (which seems to be it's intended purpose as it doesn't fit very well with the collar).

Did you try dry-fitting it to multiple heads, or does it only work with the one that has the headpiece for the flipped-up build?

I dry-fitted with all of them. There is no dedicated head for the mask and if you don't use the collar it fits on every head without problems in both positions.

Cool! Head swaps and mods are the most acute ease :: effect conversions, so I've been thinking about what to do with this kit.

The other bit I've been eyeing is the mask on the hip of the ostensible Leader in the product pics. Is it the exact same bit as the head used on the Lobo build, or are are they two separate items?
