Another monday without showing anything..

Is it so much to ask that they show a single nomad?

Considering that most of the time, they don't post their main article for another couple hours...

Anyway, is Necrobubba taking over the monday 'reveal slot' from Eldar? Is that something they've mentioned?

There isnt more articles today.

And no, they haven't said anything. But they have already shown everything they announced on LVO.. less necromunda that we know absolutely nothing.

This month's coin is necromunda, So I hope to see all the contents of the box in Adepticon, but lately GW before showing the complete box, they show some miniature of the bands/gangs.. I expected this to happen today

Underhive Informant is usually on Tuesdays. And it's been really quiet of late.

It hasn't been on Tuesday's for ages. Seems to have switched mainly to Monday's this last year

~~Was it? The stupid website's no longer doing "Features" properly, and the only ones I had bookmarked were Tuesdays for 2020.~~

Yup, you're right.
The first article I could find with the actual "Underhive Informant" tag was from June 21st 2021, meaning a Monday.

Indeed. I used to look forward to Specialist Games Tuesday's. You had at least an article a week almost. Titanicus, Aeronautica and Necromunda...

I wonder why they've done so many articles that would have fit the bill for Underhive Informants without the tag?

Still want this guy:

That new rumor engine... it's got me thinking what if that and those wings in the last one are for ash waste? *fingers crossed*

**beast_gts**

This month's coin is a Necromunda one:

Spoiler:

(WarCom link)

Rumour is there's a problem with the Eldar coins so everything is now out of order... (Last month was a Orruk Warclans coin & Dire Avenger mini)

**Overread**

Right now Eldar is the focus for at least few weeks with the codex and likely more models next week (eg shining spears). Chances are considering we only saw a teaser and no actual models, it will be another major reveals event before we see any major movement on Necromunda content.

Aeldari Combat Patrol has been announced as April, so there might be a gap in releases - but I don't think that means Ash Wastes is next. Hopefully we'll get more info at AdeptiCon.

**TGG**

Just a bit more info/teaser sorta thing would be nice, while we wait.

**Racerguy180**

Right?

**Voss**

At this point, it feels like the wait is for the teaser.

Wasn't someone trying to sell 2000 of them on ebay

**HudsonD**

Say, is there any word on whether the other House books have had updated printing besides the Escher one ?

Have just seen the Ash Waste trailer for the first time and it reminded me of Borderlands. So does anybody know what kind of factions will be available? Also noted the promise of an army of source following on the heels of the basic box set which made me groan.

Though still excited what they will do as a Mad Max fan. If it turns out to be great I can see myself going to work on new custom made terrain suitable for a desert apocalyptic world.

Definitely the six House gangs of course. The Orlocks should be most prominent among them, being the primary road haulage union and all, but I can’t believe we won’t see Escher hunting parties, Cawdor scrabble teams, Van Saar archaoteknologist surveys and so on.

But for primarily Ash Waste denizens? The eponymous Ash Waste Nomads of course, maybe PDF deserters, Genestealer cults operating semi-openly as mining gangs, Cold Traders and their bodyguards, the shanty town rabbles, maybe even an Ork or two. Oh and can’t forget the random wild beasts and maybe a gang that has tamed them for use in battle. All based solely on hints and lore dropped so far. They could naturally come up with almost anything else.

That ignores the stuff still to-do for hive gangs (Scavvies/mutants, though that could cross over with the shanty towners, and ratskins of course) and the not-hive-not-waste types like the spook miners and traders. Lots of stuff to do…

As far as new stuff, besides the obvious ash waste nomads, has to be the scavvies.

Though i wouldnt be sad to see some kinda gorkamorka like stuff, akin to diggas , muties and such.

I know that may seem out of place in traditional necromunda, but since we are venturing out to the wastes, it would kinda make sense to just dump gorkamorka into the necromunda engine, (or dump the gorkamorka vehicle rules into the necromunda engine) as we are rumored to see mounts and vehicles being used in the wastes.

I think i still have my official gw mounted scavvie somewhere...

They were indeed. Amongst curious amounts of Forgeworld…

2000???? Was that the problem? Someone got all the coins? Or was it actually GW selling on eBay?

Some guy is selling them 25 per box (I guess that's how many GW stores get?) for the low low price of $333 plus shipping. If the seller's history is any indication, he has had #13 different boxes.

**Kid_Kyoto**

You can hunt down the thread, but some guy put up like 10s of thousands of dollars of FW and coins and other stuff on ebay. It looked really shady and was taken down but if he really has that stuff then that's even shadier.

**Overread**

Yeah its very strange that some random person on ebay would wind up with that huge amount of stock. Esp unreleased stock and Forgeworld which isn't even sold at retail values so its not like a store that closed up or anything.

Seems likely that he actually has the coins just looked at eBay and pictures are crystal clear of boxes and barcodes on his hands...

Well either it's a scam to some degree or the guy is in cahoots with an employee.

Using a throw away account so I don't get in trouble:

Yes - at least 2 warehouse staff were working with someone from the rubbish/recycling company (the person who had the ebay listings) to 'dispose of' things they shouldn't have for cash. Management are not happy!

That doesn't exactly sound too believable, but it seems to be the most plausible option?

Well, that's worse than I suspected initially then...and even more stupid. I remember there was a story of a manager stealing stock about a decade ago, around £8000 worth of stuff, and that was quite a serious situation, this seems like it might be just as bad as that was.

I had wondered if the strange release of Aeldari Mini of the Month but alongside an AoS coin was related to him having an absurd amount of the unreleased unannounced Aeldari coins. 3500 coins must have been quite a significant chunk of their stock of them.

I'm surprised that the listings haven't been taken down though.

**NAVARRO**

That just sucks and sounds incredibly silly.

Eldar fans who wanted the coins to celebrate the new releases after such long time of no updates, now need to wait for the damn coins. Assuming GW will do a 2nd run of coins just to meet demand.

I wonder what will be the official statement, if any, on this.

Almost certainly no statement, especially if we assume there’s prosecutions in the offing.

Likewise the stock would most likely be seized as evidence.

Saying that…..we can reasonably infer the goods were still in Nottingham. If there are prosecutions, and GW claimed the losses against Insurance, probs worth keeping an eye on Police Auctions!

**drbored**

I've worked retail and seen the stupid ways that people try to do things to get quick cash illegally. This sort of thing doesn't surprise me at all.

Someone with a hot brain cell decided they could get away with something? Yeah, sounds about right.
