Have spyre hunters been updated for this current edition?

Nope and no indication that they will be. Not ruling it out; there's always potential nostalgia money left on the table but I'm sure the devs have previously suggested that it's not something they were actively working on.

Thanks for the quick reply. I wonder if the Van Saar are advanced and kooky enough in their options to "counts as" for them.

Anyone else jonesing for the next Necromunda reveal?

Is jonesing for something a british phrase? I'm chuffed to bits to learn a new one.

If it is, it's a new one to me. Thought it was an Americanism.

Tangent aside, I'm interested to see what's next now they've tidied up the core Houses ("surprise gakkers! It's House of Justice; expanded Enforcer rules!")

House of Cards?

House of the Rising Sun?

Our House, in the Middle of our Street?

Oh play nice.

That last one would be madness.

Bauhaus

Oh wait, Warzone might have copyright on that

I'm chomping at the bit to see more of the setting, hoping for Ash Wastes

Jonesing is definitely American, not British.

Companies House?

House of Ill Repute?

House, M.D?

House of House? Lots of glowsticks…

Was the Escher Genestealer Cult Magus art they tweeted out a few days ago new? Made me wonder if that was a hint.

Hive Secundus?

I don’t recall seeing it before, but to be fair I don’t have an eidetic memory. So could be a hint.

Just wanted to joke that Our House is already covered by the honest working-class representatives of House Orlock - only go down a 70ies/80ies rabbit hole and find out that Judge Dredd was actually inspired by an English ska musician, so adding suspenders, funny hats and black & white check patterns to your Orlocks might actually be quite fluffy, in a roundabout way

Judge Dread, not only a famous but forgotten U.K. Ska artist, but despite being banned from Radio One for innuendo laden lyrics? But outsold Bob Marley in his heyday. Bob. Marley.

Why yes, I am a fan!

That one was in the Book of Ruin iirc

He was pretty popular in my neck of the woods 20 years ago.

Nah. Three years ago was Bauhaus anniversary here in Germany and it was all about boring houses and furniture.

I imagine we will have to wait for LVO preview.

I still believe that the image of the new year's video is an ash waste.. and watching boba fett.. it's what I want the most!

Topsy, the best people to ask are Andy Hoare or a member of his team. Andy is on Instagram, for example, at https://instagram.com/anandyhoare?utm_medium=copy_link
It makes total sense a customer service agent won't know this, but the head of the (small) SG/30k/tow team or one of his writers, of course they will.

It turned out it was labeled with "second print" in the book, so it solves parts of the question. Unfortunately I didn't have this book myself and at that time had limited info from online users. I'm happy as this makes it possible to identify. Now I wonder what other books got multiple prints and what changed in them Also I don't have instagram!

Augmetric.

Do we have a roadmap for Necromunda past the Outcast book?

Nope. The roadmap ended with Book of the Outcast.

Though FW have started gap filling, with some way yet to go.

Im converting Necromunda kits since Christmas... the things I really would like to see fleshed out would be:

- House of ratlings
- House of machines like working scrap robots not combat ones.
- Bestiary
- A book with serious in depth solo play since as it stands 5 parsecs is replacing Necromunda.

Edit: I have zero hope this will ever happen thats why Im doing it myself XD

Would it finally add rules for our gang castle and gang keep?

And as an architect I took this personally.

I hope they do another pass on GSC (mainly to update Acolyte S/T/W) and Helot Cults (which just suck all around rn) and bring their gang composition rules in line with the House of series. If they want to chuck revised Enforcer and CGC rules in there too, all the better.

Feels like they had a prime opportunity to do just that with 2019 Ruin, because pretty much all teams have been printed in multiple books or multiple versions (for example starting as a white dwarf article). Failing to make them right then gives me no hope they'll succeed the next time. Or the time after that. But maybe after that again

A couple of things changed (at least re: GSC) that make me hopeful a new version would be better.

1) the Acolyte stats have changed in 40K. Previously, the weird limitations on Acolytes seemed like artifacts of slavishly preserving their 40K statline, rather than a deliberate decision about their representation in Necromunda

2) Ruin predates the House of books (and their standardization of things like 1x special weapon specialist)
