Just getting to pet the mastiff and give him/her a chew toy has me sold.

I might be looking too much into this, but I believe that we get to choose the gender of the main character, which I'm always in favour of in these types of games.

One their website it says you can customize your bounty hunter. The dude on the cover is just for marketing I guess.

Mention of mutants made me wonder if they've shared some of the designs for Scavies.

Or there could be genestealer cult down there, or mostly likely and disappointingly, it's just one or two of the other hired guns.

Well the guys making this knew about the return of Genestealer Cults before anyone else (still makes me bitter, given what I was working on at the time their Space Hulk game was in development), so there's a good chance they know about something that we don't yet.

Still, it does seem like someone went "You know what Necromunda needs? More DOOM!"

Nice. I wonder if they used the digital resources from the tactical game for this as well, or if they had to start from scratch.

If they did, they reworked them a lot. But I don't think they did. Even if its just a trailer, the quality difference is palpable.


I do want to see actual gameplay, because the 'cracked-out Doom remake' style immediately gave me a headache. If that's what the gameplay is actually like, don't want it.

I think if you buy it you are contractually obliged to scream "BLINKING LIGHTS BLINKING LIGHTS" continually while playing, or else it uninstalled itself

Finally a trailer for this.
I was assuming they’d drop one soon when it leaked at the start of the week.
Does not disappoint I think..

Reminds me of the new Wolfenstein games

Look more like a hive siege or fortress attack than typical hired guns work.

Change this to palanite enforcer or venator force and it'd make more sense.

Man, I know it's a bit of a big ask, and given that they seem to be going for a DOOM kind of feel, a bit unlikely, but if this feels even remotely close to the original Half-Life, I'd be super in. Love me a nice shooter with a big map and lots of gak lurking around corners.

Looks nice graphically, though not into FPS myself.

Still waiting for someone to make a Mass Effect/Kotor version of Necromunda.

I think Doom3 as a style of gameplay would work well though. Loads of horrible monsters and warp spawned nasties that could be used for jump scares and the obligatory darkness inducing chanting, all formed around a bit of run and gun stupidity.

I just like the fact it seems to be based around a nice reliable autogun rather than anything more esoteric. Pretty sure I saw a double barrelled shotgun and maybe a
Bolter in there.

The Website mentions a bolter and even a Graviton Gun. Our hired gun has some very interesting weapons at its disposal.

You can see him firing the graviton gun in the trailer.

These pc games have fighters jumping, running and grapple hooking like spiderman or just cause. Whenever I play, it feels like spintires on hardmode.

Maybe we need a separate thread for Hired Gun?

There is one in the video games forum.

Good excuse for people to venture into places they may not have been before?

Please! I couldn’t care less about the video games. I’m in this thread for the rules and models! Maybe a thread for GW video games news and rumours? Can put this and other games in there for those who are interested.

Works for me!


https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/796997.page

Please direct further comments on Hired Gun to that thread

Just a final note though, it may be a good idea for one video games thread in N&R?
For the news regarding GW ones.
As the video games thread doesn’t just cover news but general discussion etc.
Just a thought.

On Necromunda though, today’s the day and I’m excited for these reveals.

I think we’ll need more blaze markers after the reveal

Really looking forward to the redemptionists!

Redemptionist, NO STUBGUN, SOMEONE GIVE THIS DESIGNER A MEDAL!






New Starter, kinda meh, walls are pointless unless you hoard a lot of them.

Good stuff. More accessible starter

Time to start the rules cycle again then.

It’s not a new edition.
Just a new box to try and sell better.
Same rulebook is in it.

*buys two boxes of Dark Uprising*

Would've been a better box if they included a single sprue of the new champs and prospect. along with the 10 gangers, but GW being stingy and stuff so.....

Seems like admech is coming next to 40k, after drukhari.

The *one* dissapointing thing is the manga hair of the top right redemptionist - but other than that... such an amazing set! The game certainly needs more melee weapons with Blaze, but that is a good range of weaponry - here's hoping at least one of the new specialists is armed with wrist mounted promethium spurters (range of 3 or somesuch)

Wrong thread

Redemptionists are cool but not cool enough that I want them, which is nice.
