Given that vehicles are coming, I hope the nomads get mounts relatively quick. Love the weird water buffalo in the top right, but I'm guessing they'll probably be more bug thing (since the ash waste teaser had a bug similar to the one the guy on the bottom is riding)

The Nomad mini looks cool and I totally agree they should get mounts asap, especially if they look like the concept art.

So is that black skin, or armour / a bodysuit?

EDIT: It's a mask.

The article says it's a mask.

So it does - that's what I get for skim-reading it

plus an all-over mask equipped with protective lenses and filtration pipes.

Anyone else wondering if that model is fordgeworld? Looks pretty special charactery - especially without any buddies to accompany them. It looks cool - but after the silence, I was hoping for a bit more of a peak to be honest.

It's not. It's definitely a new plastic gang member. More should be revealed Wednesday

Cannot wait for the rest of the nomads. They look like excellent chaos cultist fodder.

Ooo. Looks good. Some good fodder for scout/veteran guard.

Trying to decide if that's the new base style, or just an old undetailed base thats build up a bit with crackle paint.

In addition to what GaroRobe said, consider that the warbands from the latest Warcry box were introduced in the same way, with a single model from each on the two Mondays before the reveal event. It's just something GW does right now. There is little reason to worry that this is anything but a run of the mill wasteland hobo from the faction plastic kit.

Also, of course we all want more, but if they show off more than a peak now, they'll have less for Adepticon. Kind of defeats the point of having a preview event, doesn't it?

The internet rather does defeat the purpose of a preview event, yes.

I love the new Mutie Raiders Ash Wastes Beast Riders sketches

Eh, it's not quite that simple. Sure, purely for getting information out there GW could use the Internet while that particular fad lasts, and most of us wouldn't be worse off for it. People do like interacting with others in person, though, and while it's not really something that works for GW (no models to physically show, hardly anything to tell except what's been cleared for marketing use) there's a place for physical events even if they're not strictly necessary.

I will wait for more details but so far not keen on the model since its kind of a mess of things stuck together. And I dont care about huge kits with beasts for Necromunda.

Sure. There was a place for physical events, but GW cancelled their Games Days years and years ago, of their own volition. And their Grand Tournaments, come to think of it.
And the previews at those events grew more and more bitter as GW refused to actually show things off or talk about anything not in the script (which became current releases only, stop asking because... reasons)

For the most part, people want pics and a roadmap. Internet is just fine for that.

“ There isn’t much cover to be found out on the dunes, so a powerful gun with a sharp scope is perfect for picking off outsiders, knocking targets from rocky outcrops, or beaning juves as they scoot around in promethium-guzzling vehicles.”

So, rocky terrain and Juves on dirt bikes as two of the kits?

True. And then later on GW found out that marketing is good for their bottom line and as part of that they decided to do this preview thing they used to do, but not the way they used to do. So now they have physical events again that they want to use to drum up excitement, but only have very limited means of making attractive because of their paranoid control fetish.

I don't disagree with what we want, but GW doesn't give us what we want. They give us what they want. Which is charmingly GW of of them.

I hadn't seen the beast sketches before, that's really nice. Hopefully we do get some more info at adepticon

Very tuskan raiders

someone at GW has been watching to much 'book of boba fett'

It would be pretty funny if this released like two or three years after the book of boba fett, and not with in a few months of the show. I'm surprised they didn't tease them soon to cash in on the "Dune" hype.

All I know is that they're perfect WB cultists and hopefully the rest of the gang looks similar, if not as cluttered.

I’m into the aesthetic. It’s kind of fresh model wise for the 40K setting, without being entirely out of place.

As well as Chaos Cultists, could also serve as a peculiar Guard Regiment.

Surely not - after all, they stated in court that all their ideas are purely of their own invention, and that their sculptors aren't influenced by popular media at all...

I mean, Tuskens have existed for two decades.
But, the Book of Boba Fett dropped on December 29, 2021.

I wish GW could sculpt and release models that fast. :(

Also curious. This way if its FW, i can go back to ignoring their existence outside of metals from 2 decades ago.

But in fairness, necromunda and blood bowl have both been getting respectable amounts of plastic, so i remain hopeful.

We’re yet to see a Gang released as resin, so pretty certain these will be plastic, and indeed in the forthcoming boxed set.

A reversed "is it plastic?", that's got to be new?

But is it plastic?

Dual kit, pewter and finecast, with a lead base.
