What are the chances GW acquires Privateer Press and adds in an upgrade sprue made of Restic?

About zero. Not only does GW not really have the spare cash, PP isn’t publicly traded anyway. Never mind having to deal with both the SEC and the MMC to get such an acquisition approved. I doubt they want to sub-license the technology either, not after the finecast debacle.

Oh yea, the war cry single model previews and the thing later in the week... still tho - I wonder. I guess it's just all the single/paired model previews for necromunda have been fordgeworld haven't they? I could be wrong, have been plenty.

Well it would be odd for a forge world miniature to be the first figure revealed for a new faction that is going to be released with the ash Wastes box set. In plastic. Don't know how much will be revealed this week, but GW currently loves the drip feed. However I did overhear my not so local GW store employee say GW was going to release a miniature cast from the recycled molds of unreleased RT era miniatures.

I assume it is a single preview like we got the single picture and art of Harvey Corsair for kill team Nachmund

Ah, neat. That model that we thought was a Primaris Psyker is now clearly an ash waster.

Tha... That wa... That was a joke, you realize that right?

Not a big fan, just seems over produced and too busy.

The bionic leg, the multiple layers of clothing, fur, leather, metal, the sun shade/banner thing... it all looks like a nightmare to assemble and paint.

I do like the gun though, reminds me of the Space AK-47 from Jes Goodwin's never made guard concepts.

That banner on the back gonna take lots of sprue space if each of them carry one + optional

They'd better be a 2 sprue gang. Hell at this point most of the gangs now have 2-3 sprues if you include the newer weapon sprues. The game has proven to sell well enough. If the wastelanders are 1 sprue doubled with stupid back banners taking up 1/3rd of the space then guess what, saves me some money.

Ash Waste Nomad preview!

Is anyone seeing the item on the Waster's back less as a banner and more as an ambush tool?

1) Hide in the ash wastes with your friends, close to one of the major travel routes.
2) Dig a hole and cover yourself with your portable sun covering until you hear the ambush whistle.
3) Pop up and fight for your life.

In my eyes it looks more functional than decorative...until you look at the artwork and it becomes clear it was just a banner.

Dunno. It’s definitely functional.

Plan your ambush so that when you strike, the sun is behind you. The banner thing keeps that sun off the top of your head, and helps to confuse your outline some - especially if your opponent isn’t wearing some kind of glare protection.

I gotta say I really like it. I'm definitely going to convert some up as more scavvy admech for my army. I agree perhaps it is a but busy, but I suppose no different in layers to the newer clanrats and plague monks. I suppose in gang necromunda skirmishy level you expect a bit more detail on the go.

I'm interested to see what other models have going on.

Kinda hoping they come with at least an Autocannon armed heavy for wrecking enemy vehicles…Heavy Stubber just isn’t gonna cut it!

The Ash Wastes of Necromunda, famous for its sun

You know that the pollution layer moves, right?

Plus most Underhive dwellers won’t be used to the sun, given their near troglodytic living arrangements.

Famous enough that GW's official promotional material has a pretty big sun-related motif

Spoiler:

Yeah, also you have no idea how much of which particular rays are coming through the crap in the atmosphere. It would make sense that Necromunda's troposphere and ionosphere are all kinds of whacked out + we don't know what kind of star it is.

I'm just glad they are revisiting the Wastes and look forward to how they'll implement the rolling road.

You'll have a Citadel ™ Wasteland Battlemat that's 5 times the length of the board size. At the end of the turn one player will have to yank the starting end, dragging the table cloth one board length. Any models that fall off are considered to have fallen behind or crashed and are out of action.

I think that GW has been hinting at Jes Goodwin's old art being the basis for reimagined Necromunda Spiders since, if you remember, we have that exact helmet on the House Greim Jagerkin.



I always thought Jes' version was the coolest Guard design so I'm hoping we get it either as a Veteran Guard box or something like a Necromunda PDF Patrol or Deserter gang.

Cool people will have a conveyor belt board with a crank at one end.

That's brilliant.

Thunder Road board game did something similar but without the conveyor.
Just used board sections that did the same thing (dumping off slow pokes).

Also just found out that A Clumsy Bait is an anagram for Malibu Stacy.
Crazy.

All joking aside, that's actually a great idea.

Build a hand cranked slat conveyor with a printed cloth belt around it for a gapless surface and make it all fit into a C-clamp table jig.



You could even make alternate belts for Gorka Morka, Bommerz Over Da Sulphur River, Gaslands, etc.

How? Unless I look at different art piece, in art it's also a sunshade rag without any sort of pattern?

I do like the multiple layers, just because I think it does a great job of making them seem unhuman and creepy in silhouette, but the rebreather canister hanging from a hose around the knees and bumping into your legs as you walk is driving me crazy.

Imagine carrying a backpack by threading the straps through your belt and having it hang in front of your legs. Now imagine you require it to work for you to breathe.

Helmet reminds me of a Corpse Grinder (bottom right) without all the other crap around it.

Yeah, that canister hanging thing is really poorly conceived for characters that presumably have to do more than shuffle to get around.
