Just ordered my set from OnTabletop with a 20% discount.

AUD$475, so even more expensive than anticipated. Somehow. Still not buying it.

And the sprue pictures make the terrain contents even more confusing. So, the huts are their own thing and not the platforms reversed - sure - but there aren't enough walkways on the sprues as presented to match what's there.

Place that I normally get stuff from sold out of the Ash Wastes cards in literally less than a minute. Sold out on GW's store within 5.

[EDIT]: All da sprues:


So my initial theory about the sprue layout was mostly right - two for the huts, three for the platforms and two for the smaller platforms. What I was not anticipating was the singular "hut accessory" sprue. And I still don't get the walkway layout. You don't appear to get enough.

No big deal. Building your own shanty town can be a rewarding experience all on it´s own.

So the gang boxes are 37 euros now? That's some price raise.

Happened a few months ago, like £3 or so extra for gangs.

Dark Uprising has a whole new campaign system. Different setting, even.

I see … I don’t know this stuff because I only buy digital books.

Fair to assume most of the rules will appear in the next book. IIRC Dark Uprising had the eponymous campaign as exclusive, but everything else was in the Book of Ruin.

So incredibly Irish.

Anyway, so, terrain (hopefully these work):
Same connectors, it seems.

Right, could not stand the clown wannabe bitching about prices for more than 2 minutes... If there was content there I gave up.

Naturally he has a full set ready to go the day of pre-order:

The clip on terrain is really clever for storage and making it kind of modular each game.

Guess I haven't been paying attention. That's kinda steep, for what it is, moreso with all of them being two of the same sprue and all.

I went to pre-orders. I got the cards. Not getting the box for $475. Not even with a 20% discount.

If I can get it down to 50% off (ie. the price it should be), then maybe.

I used to feel super bad for Aussies until I started to look at the math....

Ash Wastes:

$475 AUD ($335.41 USD) Avg discount from what i have heard is 20% which i imagine you can get at most online stores price $380AUD / $268.33 USD
180 pounds ($226.34 USD) Not sure avg euro discount i have heard 20% online I have heard 25 but lets go with 20 price $144 pounds / $181.07 USD
$299 USD most allowed online discount is 15%... can you get better sometimes.. can you find it online better.. no price $254.15 USD

So for the average person buying the game outside of Europe Aussies are paying approx 34% more and Americans approx 31% more.

There is the cold hard facts... I wish that other countries could get the euro price for GW stuff but GW is like Disney and makes its own rules. I cut my hobby expenses from $200 a month GW a few years back... to $150 a month gaming in general... which now is rarely any GW stuff and mostly consists of other games that are equally as fun without the GW tax.

I am basically the opposite of a GW fanboy, I have spent I believe £70 on GW in the last decade (£40 on forgeworld, £30 made to order dark elves to complete my collection) but I am tempted by these. Large, multi-part cavalry for £7 each before discount which you presumably don't need that many of. Also, Ash Wastes is one of my favourite 40K setting and these would make great GM muties.

The quads don't look that great to me but at £14 each prior to discount is a pretty good price. That is pretty competitive with, say, Ramshackle Games.

So is there any word how the vehicles for the existing gangs will be handled? Are there rules for 'generic' vehicles that anyone can take (to be converted from various kits) or do we need to wait till bespoke kits and their associated rules get trickle released at some point?

Watched it. Book is like a swiss cheese: Full of holes which will be filled by upcoming books which will create more holes. In a nutshell: Bookromunda Reloaded. Anybody who wants to play a Mad Max game should use either Car Wars or Gaslands.

Watch the video from Guerilla Miniatures. A warning though: There is VERY little meat on the bones regarding vehicular combat.

I tried, skipping around from point to point, and while I do agree with a few of the points, its a link that you wont regret missing out on. Easily avoidable and far to click baity to be taken remotely seriously.

No thanks, it's over an hour long. I'll wait till someone who can write gets the book.

And as answer to my question: no there are no profiles for other vehicles.

If I understand correctly you're asking:

"Does GW want us to convert vehicles out of toys or want us to wait 2 years to buy Necromunda-specific vehicles for $50 a pop?"

I'll need a few miliseconds to think on that.

I read it more about if we can use GSC Ridge Runner and bikes modded with the appropriate gangers on them etc.
That is a question I am keen to know the answer to as well.

Look like the the new expansion officially now is literally unplayable for the majority of gangs due to the lack of vehicle.

I reckon some kind of "hired gun" generic bike or quad will be made so that every gangs can use. these should have been released day 1, or ASAP, don't know what they were thinking.

Not only that, but certain gangs get extra credits to spend on the vehicles, whilst the other gangs have to just sit and spin.

 Crimson wrote:

Of course not. They don't sell any other vehicles for Necromunda yet. We have to wait for Book of Bugs/Bikes/Buggies/Big Rigs/etc. to come out before we get our drip-fed piecemeal gang-specific vehicles, each with an update of that specific gang, giving us Orlocks/Van Saar/Cawdor V4, Escher and Goliath V5, and Not-Delaques V3. Oh joy!

Of course not, because those are Genestealer Cult vehicles, so when we get Book of Ridgerunning Jackals we'll get their four units (leader bike, bike, quad and Ridgerunner).


Why is anyone acting at all surprised by any of this???

What the actual feth was that? I'd rather shove my giblets in a blender than listen to that voice in that tirade of gak ever again. They should use this person's videos to bombard terrorist holdout situations.

The rules of the nomads come in the instruction pamphlet. Very simple and with hardly any rules.

With more news to be announced next week, I'm sure we'll soon see a supplement with the full nomad rules, truck rules, and maybe some other generic vehicle.

Nomads with their own book, and then an Ash Wastes book with missions and things like the Hauler(which is run by the Guild of Coin not a specific gang).

At least that's what the scuttlebutt is.

I am disappointed that I had not thought of calling it Bookromunda. Well done, Strg Alt.

Maybe people are sick and tired of GW´s release schedule? Other companies would print a SINGLE book featuring all kinds of vehicles usable by all factions. Then after a few months they may release a new book releasing faction specific vehicles. That is a release policy I would love to support.

But it isn't guaranteed and precisely engineered and designed to bring you absolutely maximum profits possible for the least amount of effort possible, so they're obviously not going to do it.

Didn’t click as there is no mention of who this even is.
But from replies, that was a good thing.
