I wonder if the regular Ogryn heads will work with this kit...

It's the same sadly. The Lobo head is made from 3 parts: neck, antenna and face, the leader just has the face bit glued to the belt.

My order of the two GW direct card packs seems to have been pushed back a week, anyone else had the same?

My card order turned up today(!). I reckon they’ve got a 2nd print run coming in or they’re staggering things. Necromunda seems to be selling out faster or their print runs are smaller. The new Escher box is already temp out of stock. Reckon the Orlock house of iron release will sell out fast

Mine are scheduled for delivery at my local GW on monday. Which is weird cause pre orders usually always show up by saturday for pickup. Since the shop is closed mon/tues I might have to wait until next wednesday to pickup. Very annoying to say at the least.

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

That looks boss af

Anyone know if there is an official rendering of a las-cutter anywhere in the various model ranges/artwork of yore?

From the 30k Breachers on Forgeworld (fella on the left)

Just remembered that the Elysian range had a variant

Reckon you can get those parts easily enough as lascutters are pretty poor in 30k and are hardly used

House of Blades is here!

Good news is Phyrr cats are still in the book! At least as rules, no photos of them sadly. Juves are now called "Little Sisters" and basically use the same kit (at least by the photos in the back of models) as the regular gang sisters (basically the core gang set).

They also show off the matriarch weapons that we saw a while back in a preview (claw hand, hammer etc...) and the doctor model that we, again, saw a while back.

Brutes adds a massive looking Khimerix off world beast which had some really great two page art of it

Just awaiting Postie. She usually visits by 12.

Have we seen this hammer champion before? I recognise the other two from past Necromunda articles but not sure about the middle one. She’s the coolest of the 3.

I was sure we'd seen the hammer before in the same preview or if not then it was referenced/art shown.

GW managed to ship the cards before Friday, which is unusual for them, but still haven't arrived yet. Damn the lack of weekend deliveries in my country.

Sat sitting in the pub, on pint number 2, greatly enjoying the book.

On page 142 of House of Chains you can just about make out Sparky's - it looks the same as the Marine Boarding / Breacher ones -

For some reason Death-maiden don't have Combi-pistol as their starting weapon choice.....

Would be nice if they got a right arm Plasma pistol in plastic instead....

And that ugly rat dinosaur cost 50 dollars to recruit....

New plasma cannon model on page 111, so definitely a new weapon pack at some point

Found it
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/04/14/underhive-informant-docs-lookouts-and-weapons-galoregw-homepage-post-1fw-homepage-post-1/

It's back in April that we saw the Doc and Runner models along with the claw, hammer, plasma gun and a few others. Some, like the plasma gun and hammer, were only shown then as a sketch. Which likely explains why some of us are sure we'd "seen them before" and others weren't.


Looks like most of that content is now finished. The real question is if its a FW or GW upgrade pack. At this stage I'm guessing FW resin weapons and models.


The real issue is where are the pets - Phyrrcat and Khimerix

Yeah that's the new plasma cannon, they saved the good bit for the resin pack....

Phyrr cat doesn't have any illustration in the new book,Look like it's in development hell now, why it's so hard for artists to sketch a cool small critters for escher? That rat dinosaur is one ugly abomination even in sketch.

Neeeeeeever mind, not wanting to pile on Zedmeister.

I'm interested to see how far behind things are. We haven't seen the Enforcer lady yet.

Agreed - no way I am using those models - there are better things to proxy for them

I grabbed these cards as fast as I saw them. If I don't need them, Someone else will, down the road...
Tip for all of you, grab them when you can, even if you don't want them. These are like unicorns in their rarity.

I actually like the phelynx, I think they're neat little sculpts. In that above image the champ in the middle is definitely new. The bottom left one IMO is an awful sculpt...ouch. I'm still holding out hope that the khimerix and phyrr cats are either finished or work in progress sculpts at the moment.

Phyrr cats were finished and shown off a year or more ago - but they were taken back to be reworked and we've not heard of them since. I too hope both hit the shelves soon, its strange that later gangs are getting their beasts and such and Escher still don't technically have their first.

I remember these, the one on the left IMO looks fine. The one on the right is not so good and looks kinda weird rearing up like that. Sure they could look a little better or more feline but i'd almost rather have had these minis than been waiting this long.

I wonder if the real issue is that they can't get them to cast with the fur/spikes like that ?

but as you say it's surprising they've not just junked them and gone back to the drawing board if they're not going to use them

Wolfrats (poor removed wonderful models) have some good fur on their shoulders that isn't too dissimilar. It's not quite as shaggy and without the bits sticking out; they could have dropped that and kept the general fur shoulders.


I glad to see them in the book, I'd honestly thought they'd been quietly abandoned as a concept with the radio silence we've had. Even without Corona its been a long time without any news.

My FLGS ordered all of the new card packs and the house of blades book for me.
The Book arrived.
The cards didn’t at all and GWOZ seem lost as to even if they will be sent out.
They are listed as sold out on every GW regional website.
I have every release for the new Necromunda since it started... I want and need these cards.
Sell them to me GW.

Also play warhammer underworlds and only 1 of the 2 new war bands was sent out this week.

We did get our first restock of primer in 8 weeks though.

Still no sign of White Dwarf.

I wonder if the issue might be the bulge between the legs. Once seen cannot be unseen...

Unlikely. A few GW models have sheaths. Heck if the Bloodwrack has an exposed breast. It's more that when GW was doing plastic horses the underside of the horse was mostly ignored. It's an area you don't "see" and barring very large models its often quite hidden. So designers tend to just not bother putting anything there. Gamers, meanwhile, are buying the models more for the rider and the military side rather than the anatomical. That said several models since have had genitalia. Personally I find it more amazing that, in a market that loses its mind over an upside down or missing sight on a gun barrel, we allow GW to get away with such casual disregard for animal anatomical design.
