Good thing they did generic big vehicle and not locked it to just a specific faction... I still expect to see more big expensive kits for Necromunda though... Its GW way.

I totally agree. I like the truck. It’s a nice truck. It is just a truck though. It’s not particularly exciting. I’m hoping that whatever comes next has a bit more originality.

Good, if anything it's basically just post apocalyptic stuff with a twist. Should be some cool designs.

Well, it's a cheaper alternative than releasing a train/monorail kit. God knows what that would cost.

Any guess on when we see the first FW buggy or faction crew options?

If only a lot of those more recent ork buggies/trucks weren't mostly all like on one sprue. Could be some cool conversion kit potential.

I've been itching to do a GSC styled cargo truck for a while. Either as a Goliath proxy, or just its own thing for terrain/mission funsies. I love this conversion:



Depending on the price tag and size, the Necromunda kit might a good base to kitbash two "Cargo-8" transports. Building one mostly unaltered, and combining the second trailer/container with either a Goliath kit, or a scratchbuilt or 3d printed cab. I'm cautiously optimistic.


There are already quite a few 3d printable "sci-fi cargo truck" designs on the usual sites, though none have quite tickled me the right way so far. So we'll see if this does the job.

Kit bashing with the goliath kit would be cool, it'd make a great cab for sure.


I photochopped it into a shot of the AT land train and it fits in pretty well

I have found today maybe even a better scale than those for Hot Wheels cars. Dropzone Commander - Resistance models:

Freeriders:

Rocket Technical:

Fire Wagons:

Busses:

Another advantage for using these guys are that they already come with weapons and a Mad Max junk vibe so there is no need to rebuild your Hot Wheels cars.

But 40k vehicles tend to be on the very chunky side anyways, so I guess you'd get away with 'regular' 10mm stuff. Just add a few extra details to them.

This is of course if you want to play Titanicus scaled Ash Wastes.

Sometimes they surpass my expectations.

But then they're running the Underworlds articles simultaneously, which very handily demonstrate why my expectations are so low.

Oh, wait. I thought you were being sarcastic about the cargo-hauler reveal on the 11th.

Not today's. Yeah, wow. I should feel smug, but I just feel sad. (And not because they trumped me by including 5 pics)

No, no, no! Deadly serious. You were bang on about the buggy preview. Like it's spooky how well you predicted that.

The main thing that bothers me about the new vehicles is that GW has shown they can do so much better if they really wanted to.

For example:

Goliath Truck
Spoiler:

Achilles Ridgerunner
Spoiler:

Atalan Wolfquad
Spoiler:

Dirtcycle
Spoiler:

I just wish we could get the Wolfquad separately, in a box of three, or something useful to anyone other than Genestealers.

I mean, the Orlock quads are silly, but I don't know what those complaining about the land train design were expecting. It's a suitably rugged design, and does exactly what it's supposed to do.

I think we also have to temper that expectation alongside the fact that this is a Specialist Game.

Think of the sprue sizes that Specialist games get, and that this box already has (at least) 3 new sprues of terrain coming in it, and then a sprue for a buggy, and a sprue for 2 big mite things.

So the directive could've easily been: "Yes, you can have a big truck, but try to use existing parts as a base", hence the reason why a big chunk of it is the Munitorum Container.

The new truck might end up being a single sprue with the trailer, wheels, gunners and whatever else they decide it can have, with everything else stemming from the container kit and its various crate/barrel accessories.

So it's simplicity is what gives is modularity (a plus!) but is also what limits the scope of the model itself. I'd love a big pressurised fuel/liquid container that you could put on it, but that's a two piece big bit of plastic they may not see as worth it.

Or if they were really smart they'd've found a way to adapt this or even this to the trailer/cab. I doubt it, but it'd be nice.

Oh, there are all sorts of object sizes in Sector Mechanicus terrain.. You reckon one could make some of it fit as cargo?

I can't imagine it'd be that difficult.

Hell, some people will probably end up making various adaptors and plug-ins for 3D printing to make it even easier. Kinda like the people who make Zone Mortalis walls that all the plastic ZM walls to fit seamlessly with the big Zone Mechanicus furnace pieces.

I don't think anyone has a problem with the kit being made to incorporate the existing container sprue. I'm just saying the cab design could have been better. That being said, the fact is this is the design GW signed off on and this is the design that's going to be sold.

I've got enough Genestealer Cultists to field in an Ash Wastes campaign, so the design issues affect me less. I can even use Orks and their vehicles in a "counts as" list until GW decides to publish rules for them in WD. I guess I just feel less enthusiastic for this edition of the game than I believe I should, probably because we've been spoiled with such cool models and terrain so far.

Meh, more kits will come out later and there's bound to be something that follows the rule of cool again.

These underworlds previews are actively repulsive. Like they beg you to come over to their house, to tell you a half formed sentence, then ignore you.

Indeed, I think that's one of my favorite things about it, strangely enough. It doesn't come across as lazy because it ties the world together in what feels like a believable way. Gives me ideas for a supply depot gameboard, either in the Wastes or in some part of the Hive itself, with big stacks of these containers, and the haulers used to move them around.

The supply does not get to make the demands.
