At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

So will be buying the vehicle, fleas, ash waste gang and both sets cards and save a couple hundred dollars.
Can get the rulebook later on ebay or retail when it is released.

With to day's obsession with WYSIWYG I cannot see GW allowing you to dismount a vehicle and possibly an enemy ganger jumping in and driving off with it if there's no way to pysically add/remove models from the seats. Maybe something changes later in the Book of Trucks.
The trading post update has a lot of changing of "fighter" to "model", no doubt to cover that fact that vehicles aren't "fighters". It's not consistent, however, because of course it's not.
Caryatid is added as an Exotic Beast straight in the rules, which is nice I 'spose.
And speaking of 'calling it', I paused the video when we got a really good side-on view of one of the huts, and you're dead right: The top and bottom plates are the same piece, just flipped 180 degrees horizontally. So that changes my sprue breakdown count. They could come on two sprues or two, which means there's a separate sprue for the walls.
Still can't figure out the walkways, as two of them appear unique. Either way, at $470 it's not like I'm buying this, so...

It just occurred to me, I think Necromunda is the only GW game left where every book is available to buy digitally. I’m worried that is about to change. There’s been no mention of a digital edition of this new rule book yet.

Adeptus Titanicus & Blood Bowl have all of theirs as well. Aeronautica Imperialis & Warcry have a few books.

Underhive, Dark Uprising and Hive War's rulebooks were never digital either. Instead some nice people had to scan them each. I do wonder if this is why no one seems to have read DU's (lovely) fluff, especially its nice subjugator pages.

I wasn’t aware that any of those contained material not available in the main book releases. I’ve bought every Necromunda digital book but this could be the end of following Necromunda for me. I found the physical copy of the rules that came with Underhive utterly illegible due to a combination of my dyslexia and its baffling choice of thin black text on a mottled grey background.

If I buy their Cargo 8 Ridgehauler, will I have to buy some book to play it? Or do their models come with the rules necessary to play?
I'm very much less excited about having to buy anything else, after I pick up the Box Sex, the Ridgehauler (and maybe any future bugs they announce)
These days they usually have some abridged rules for the model in the instruction book (though that can be outdated by FAQs and new edition and such) but for to know what the rules mean and how the rest of the game works, yeah you will need a copy of the rule book and usually a supplement for that faction too.

I still think the GSC Ridgerunner is the best vehicle for Ash Wastes as it is not compressed like the Quad and doesn´t force the gunner to look goofy in some kind of way. Which is of course funny as it is up to now not even a legal model for Ash Wastes.

I expect most of the GSC bikes and vehicles will become legal for Ash Wastes whenever GW gets around to making rules for them.

Actually I was wrong on this one. Observe how high up on each piece the walkway attachment bars are mounted.

Interesting video. The Quad, and it's stats, look reassuringly generic enough that "some kind of buggy" will fit without any problems (like the old Ork ones I'm likely to use) and we know Bikes are wargear, and therefore also extremely generic. Looking forward to finding out what other vehicles are mentioned in the rules, and for what houses.
