Technically, House Greim holds control over the titles and structures of the Necromunda Militia.

So, I can't find anything about it currently...but from what I can spot?

It says they were a "clan" and "gang", not a House. That dates back to C: Imperialis though.

Since that timeframe, PDF has been distinguished from Guard. PDFs are "local", ranging from instances like the Spiders where it is a ruling House controlled+outfitted gang while the Guard are controlled by the Imperium proper.

Yeah that's a bit of confusion on my part, there's references to Clan Houses, so I've conflated them.
I agree that Clan Spider absolutely have no control over the N 8th they just supplied the men and women, but I was pretty sure that they handled the PDF around the Ork and Genestealer hives
It's a bit moot now seeing as the role I described them as having seems to be done by "Noble" House Greim now...
But they do have the last official model from the N 8th that I've seen so maybe the Spiders are a clan/gang under Greim now?

The game needs more engineering a d civilian vehicles anyway… good excuse to use this in either crane mode



Or escort mode

I thought about converting a Skorpius Dunerider for Necromunda as some kind of boat/ferry - more or less a nice terrain piece with house rules for special scenarios. But with this expansion I think I could use it in more ways and games.

I suppose there will be rules for mounts, so Serberys Raiders and Steeds of Slaanesh are excellent conversion material.

So this is coming up for preorder next week. Depending on the price I guess it's a welcome release for those who want to build up their terrain collection. I won't be buying it as I already have two Gang Strongholds and don't think I need a third.

I’ve already got loads of Necromunda terrain.

But if this should be around £100? I’m getting one.

So, what is in that bundle/kit, anyway?

Looks like 1x Gang Stronghold, 1x Stairs & Ladders and about 1.5x Columns and Walls?

And half a box of Barricades?

And a random sprue of the OOP pipes?


Around 250€ of stuff I'd say.

Edit: Ninja'd

Hmm, I might be interest in it, depending on price and availability. I've been contemplating getting some of that terrain lately.

Well, I have two Strongholds too I panic-bought from an online store for... reasons..., but if the price is okay I could see myself getting that box. Not only is the whole Necromunda terrain very versatile, but having a nice fort is also a good preparation for the ash wastes.

Neat! I didn't yet have the chance to buy a gang stronghold, so if this bundle comes with a significant discount, I'm gonna bite

Keep talking like that and I might be convinced to pick up two of these boxes


Judging by blackfang's analysis (which sounds more or less right) this box contains about £180 worth of terrain. If it retails for £125 (why not?) we're basically getting the Stronghold for free.

We'll know the actual retail price within the next few days I assume.

Depends if this is a discount box or just a bundle order…

I only have 1 stronghold, 4x wall and 2x stair kits and 2x boxes of pipes And 2x boxes of floor tiles (need a single tile if anyone has an extra to sell). I can probably splurge on this box to build a much bigger zone mortalis 3x3 board.

But this can’t be the terrain for ash waste? That sounds like another big necromunda terrain box. However this is still one of the best terrain sets GW ever created. I don’t k is why they don’t expand this set into killteam and 40K marketing.

Terrain.

For Necromunda.

Do I win £5?

I missed Hive Warzone previously. I only have 1x Dark Uprising, 1x Stronghold and the new Market so this looks like a good way to add to the collection.

Do GW pre-announce their bundle orders? I haven't noticed them do that before. Also this kit contains bits that can't be bought individually at the moment so I'm pretty sure it will be its own unique box.

It doesn't look like this is the first Ash Wastes box, at least I sure hope it's not. Just an addition for the current Necromunda.

The video shows the box, it's a retail box.

I already have 2 Strongholds, but if they're free with extra walls I needed anyway...

Same here, 2 Strongholds and I've been thinking 3 is the median for all of the necromunda terrain kits.
More stairs/Platforms & walls/columns can't hurt.

Isn't that the Dark Uprising terrain + Stronhold?

They are literally the same painted pieces used for the Dark Uprising promos

Looks interesting depending on price (I have none of this terrain, so... ).

I'm amused by the article, however. It looks like they left out the first paragraph, jumping right past the intro and the name for whatever this box/bundle is.

I also wonder if they're just ditching stock for a shift to 'Ash Wastes' terrain, which presumably isn't going to be this kind of thing. I really hope they don't retire Zone Mortalis terrain and bases, but GW likes to GW...

Hive Warzone was £110 rrp and was a very good deal at the time iirc, it contained everything in this pic



indeed seems to be this plus Stronghold, so anything under say £150 makes this worth buying for me, hopefully £125 that would be great.

Thanks to DaveC in the WarCry thread.



Too rich for my needs. Got loads already.

Looks like another bundle where the bad stuff (barricades, pipes) eats up any actual discount on the good stuff (stronghold, walls, platforms).

Looks like a nice starter set if you have no terrain, but I suspect the discount isn't deep enough for me, since it's not all good stuff. It's like paying regular price for the items I'm interested in and getting extra gak I don't want for free.

From the in-game POV, pipes and barricades are bloody useful terrain.

Much like players placing the doors in ZM, players placing the barricade becomes part of your overall strategy.

Everything is useful terrain if you don't have any of that type.

But "medium scatter" is a much easier type to acquire and/or build than "modular LoS-blocking multistory" terrain is. I can use more of one type than the other.

Feels like I've been accumulating GW pipes for 10+ years now, and they're subpar to a lot of printed/scratchbuilt scatter that is shorter and allows passage over it. Pipes are serious movement roadblocks, but you can still shoot over them, so they exacerbate the shooting-heavy Necromunda paradigm.

The barricades are fine, but every person in my group bought one or more Necromunda starter sets, so we're past the point of needing more barricades unless we decide to play a custom scenario where our gangs are teleported to the Plane of Barricades.

Yeah, if they'd just stuck another wall sprue in instead of the barricades I'd be all in.

Wow, £170? Was hoping for a lot less, that's disappointing. No thanks.

Hmm, £170 is too steep for me. It's basically just Hive Warzone (which was a good deal), plus £5 for inflation, but you have to buy Stronghold to get the Warzone deal. I have plenty of Strongholds so that's not an attractive offer for me, I'll skip this (kind of a relief tbh, given GSC and HH and Chaos Knights all on the horizon, I'm glad this offer wasn't too good to pass).
