Look nice but the shack entrance and ceilling look like it won't fit the ash waste nomad with banner

**NAVARRO**

Are we expecting the box set and the individual boxes to be available for preorder at the same time? Or box first and rest later?

Pricy or not I fully expect this to sell out fast XD

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

It's all coming at once, i've already got and order in for the giant fleas

edit: and come to think of it i've not seen a 'preorder guarantee' for the big box, has anybody else? does that and the simultaneous release of all of the individual kits suggest the box set is going to be more limited in number than many suspect?

**Overread**

If GW is releasing all the content in one go they won't need a pre-order guarantee on the boxed set because you'll be able to get all the content outside of it.

The Guarantees tend to be more when the box content is either fully limited to the box or when the individual models are a bit of time away from being released.

We haven't seen the standalone price for the terrain yet, have we?

**Flinty**

Pretty sure firstborn souls will be involved.

It's not available separately yet.

**Albertorius**

One good thing about that terrain is that you can use used filament spools and bits and bobs to do it

**NAVARRO**

Thats interesting that all except terrain will be released in two formats from day 1, I dont remember something like this before?

Either way all is going to sell like hotcakes so need to keep an eye for preorders.

I can imagine the terrain being split into even smaller box sets like one hut, barricades/bridges.

**Chopstick**

They'll probably release the terrain from that box at 200-250USD so you feel more value and incentive to buy the 300$ box.

It's a little different to Codices.

It seems like whoever wrote that has literally never seen a single unboxing video of anything. They just heard the buzzword and wanted to show that they're hip with the young kids...

I'm in camp #2 if I can find something locally and it's worth a good bit on ebay. However, I don't see a lot of room to flip a box this expensive. By the time you pay sales tax and ebay fees you're breaking even to go through the effort of buying, selling and shipping a giant box. The higher the MSRP, the harder it is to make a profit flipping. Now the $30-35 character models for store events that sell for $75-100 on ebay, I'll grab those all day long. Sometimes I see 2 or 3 just sitting on the shelf months after the event.

I don’t think this’ll work for scalpers.
Write off the Orlock box from this, but the other three boxes will go at 20% off their solo price. Orlock gang lower as it’s more “everywhere” and not new.
Terrain and rulebook both could go ok, but not make up enough I’d say.

Now if they didn’t release individually at the same time, then yeah all the new models you could sell at the GW price, as opposed to the third party price etc..

**Chopstick**

Well there're people out there who would happily sell off stuffs they don't need from the box to recuperate from the wallet damage. And that's probably how to be a modern GW customers, split and ebay.

That's what I'm doing. The Orlocks will be going off to someone and I'll be looking at offloading the terrain as well. I do occasionally wish they produced a rules only release

"This is just the tip of the iceberg for the Nomads!"

Well that's terrifying.

We're going to get a book for every gang - that much is inevitable - but what if they want to add new bugs to Ash Waste Nomads, a second book for them later down the line? Another whole giant expensive hard back book (plus an attendant card release) per new bug?

Unless there are more Ash Waste Nomad minis that haven't been revealed yet and they'll all be in the Ash Waste Nomad book (I seriously doubt that though).

Well other factions have 2 box sets and weapon set, with this release nomads will have 1 box set and 1 vehicle box set so they can still have a box of specialists and weapons sets. I fully expect that the other factions will have a 3rd set for vehicles too.

**H.B.M.C.**

And for the other gangs, getting their "Ash Wastes" expansion should be fine. But are Nomads going to get a book every time they get something new?

Because I seriously doubt that they're going to have rules for units they don't have models for yet (Forge World's inherent Necromunda slowness not withstanding).

Thats not a fun game, and this being a prerequiste to giving them custom is an adventure in eye rolling so acute, they'll look like yarn balls from so many feet of ocular nerves wrapped.

It would be more prudent to include unit cards in the new unit boxes. All special rules on unit cards would be explained in the Ash Wastes core rule book. This means there wouldn´t be a need to print a second version of an Ash Waste Nomads book which is also the reason why it won´t happen. All hail to a new season of Bookromunda!

**NAVARRO**

Wow man the Red clothes painted nomads rock! Im going to cut those banners and possibly the back packs off though. Painted terrain looking sweet! I wonder how the interior of the sheds looks like.

**lord_blackfang**

I wonder if the hut tops and bottoms are the same piece? Just to throw another spanner in HBMC's trying to work out the sprue layouts.

I bet they are!
Looking at the open entryway on the teal huts, the base size looks the same as the top panel.
There is the round socket on the top of those pieces, with no feature standing out as only possible on top.

Ambots and Ogryns both had rules before models, and the models were not Forgeworld releases.

They will not need to release a new Nomad book every time they want to release a new kit. A book for every gang is not inevitable. I wouldn't be surprised if they switch the next batch of sourcebook titles from house to region, ie. "Survival in the Salt Flats," "Survival in the Promethium Ponds," whatever.

**Olthannon**

I was in a GW store today for the first time in a good long while and I forgot what full price looks like.

So with 20% off it's 144 quid give or take. 70 quid between two people. It's not bad but it's not great. Things like Necromunda I suppose work a bit better because once you have your gang you are set, there's nowt you need to pick up after that. The terrain looks very nice, especially the different paint jobs from the warcom article.

I can't see myself picking any of it up any time soon but I do like the minis.

Those are magnificent. I agree, I'm gonna have to try the red nomad get up. Thanks for posting

**Danny76**

So we know they’re getting other creatures for the Nomads.
Maybe their specialist box will be a Nomad and creature mix.

Either way, my assumption is they’ll get box three when they get their book.
Which after this will be the next set of releases.
New Orlock book, Nomad book, Nomad extra kit. Maybe terrain separately.

Then slowly each gang new book with vehicle sets. One at a time (two at a time would be nice to get it all out, but less likely).

Vincent Knotley(the moderator for the Warhammer Twitch Stream) shared his recipes on the Twitters:

For the bugs:

Knotley wrote:Zandri Dust, 3:1 contrast medium to snakebite leather all over
1:1 contrast medium to cygor brown in the deepest recesses
drybrush zandri dust, drybrush a 1:1 mix of Zandri Dust and Deepkin Flesh
highlight with the same mix
very very edge highlight deepkin.

Oh and the eyes are loads of super thin coats of terradon turquoise over corax white with a highlight of Temple Guard Blue then Baharroth Blue then another couple of glazes.

For the red:

Word Bearers Red + heavily thinned Wyldwood + Squig Orange + Cadian Fleshtone = real good red.

So, anyone planning to use the Gang Stronghold for their Ash Wastes outpost, and the AW terrain for a Sump/Water underhive board?

I'm already there with the Strongholds, on the fence about the ash terrain.

**Strg Alt**

All hipster dudes/dudettes will be using 3D-printed terrain for Ash Wastes. Sorry Gee-Dubs.
