Fings wot I learned from the W+ Battle Report.

It specifically demonstrates 45 degree turns. It seems one per Action (so if doing a double move, you get two).

You can run people over. I test to get out of the way. If someone is Down, they count as I1.

Weapons can be disabled, and there’s a dice to determine vehicle damage.

Pretty sure the special vehicle interaction dice were shown in the box preview. One for damage, one for (out of) control, and looks like one for location o you can separately damage weapons/pilots/engines etc. Nice to confirm 45° turns though; brings back distant memories of 2nd edition and gorkamorka.
I assume there will be driving skills to learn in order to mitigate the effects of being hit in the wheels or whatever.

Makes me curious about the land train though; I can’t see it losing control and doing a 360° spinout or anything like that if someone happens to punch it in the tracks.

Either it'll have a rule called Big N' Heavy which means that can't happen.. or even sweeter would be that it does happen and it can get "derailed" as it were. If I was going to undertake a land train heist I'd surely try and blow out the tyres to stop it.

You mean they count as Initiative 6+, surely

I dunno. Probably?

I think it’s just a special “Nat sixes only” type deal, at least the way it sounds in the batrep. Fistful of salt needed of course but there you go.

Preorder next week, also available separatedly.

Also these from FW

Ah man. Do I take the plunge or just stick to the Underhive for now?

Woo. Rolling right through releases.

Huh. May need to do some planning here. There's a lot of recent, new and upcoming releases that I want.

Another division of rules: Indoor vs outdoor, exactly like what we had a few years ago with 2d vs 3d.

Everything’s been updated and clarified for the new edition.

This is guaranteed to be a blatant lie. Similar to how they sold N21 rulebook as "updated" and with all the "fixes". It got both old and new mistakes.

Fortunately, Monday is payday for me…

We need more details on that terrain.

Whatever you decide, get the card packs now, because they won't be around for very long.

Of course, having said that:

It’s very cool that everything is available separately too. I’ve no interest in Necromunda but I really want a box of those nomads.

Trouble is I’m moving house next Saturday. This means I’ve kind of realised just how much stuff I’m already sitting on. But, given I’m off to a whole new area, which has a FLGS, I reckon getting my paint on my scenery so I can offer to run a campaign. A good way to meet new people!

Ok... the bridges are throwing me off.

It's very clearly 3 of one sprue and 2 of another (plus one of the barricade sprues), but I can't work out the division of walkways (unless they're a separate sprue altogether).

Could the walkway sprue be it's own thing? Could the supports be their own sprue, and you get... 1 of them... or 5 of them?

I love Necromunda kits but yes its great to have it sold separately from day 1. Those Nomads are looking great man and will get them for sure.

The main box looks sweet but I bet its going to be quite pricy.

I might get the nomads( on foot ), if they're about £30. They look like Jawas, Fremen and Tallarn Desert Raiders all at once.

The bug riders are very nice too, but once again depends on price. But even still, I'd get them at a later date anyway.

I like the bug riders, will make great Rough Riders.

Finally! Been waiting for this. My first proper spend on GW this year

Need more pointed sticks, but yeah. (there are two sprues of two, so two 'chain lances'). The foot leader's spear can be cannibalized as well (giving two more from the 2 sprues of 5).
Of course, converting traditional lances with frag poppers is an option as well.

The biggest issue (for me, anyway) is the lack of variety in the bugs.

I do love the Ash Wasters as veteran auxiliaries for a Guard army. Foot models as irregular scout veterans, and riders for Rough Bug Riders. Locals or specialists who can handle the necessary scout and skirmish roles (that 40k tends to handwave)

For as many pieces as they show, and them being large, flat, and easy to tesselate on a frame, I'd say it is a safe bet that there is a sprue of all/mostly bridges.

I think the longer bridge at the back is actually 2x separate bridge sections glued together. There may be an option in the bridges to make them flexible and changeable, or to glue permanently to make longer but sturdier bridges.

It looks like 2x ofthe longer segment between the antenna and the first tent/hab thing glued together.

Could quite easily be wrong though, it is great terrain.

Necromunda Ash Wastes €225 £180 $290*
Dustback Helamite Riders €37 £28 $47
Tactic Cards €13.25 £11 $16.50
Orlock Outrider Quads €37 £28 $47
Nomads €37 £28 $47

*£180 used to be $290 but not €225 (it was €237)there isn’t an exact match on the online store so this may be a bit more?

250-300 burger buck probably.

Should have throw in 1 Orlock upgrade sprue imo.

Found £180 it is (or was) $290 (Adeptus Titanicus Master Edition) but master edition was €237 so it’s not an exact match.

So 295 or 299 then.

So there’s no way the bugs are going to be more than two included per box for $47, is there?

Looks to be two to a sprue, and two sprues per box.

The separate Nomads aren’t on the price list I’d assume £28.

The preorder video also claims the terrain is available seperately

That's another AUD$370 box.

No, wait, it's more than that. It'll be closer to AUD$490.

Yeah... feth that.
