No. But those swamp denizens would look good in the deep underhive hunting spiders and mutated fish while fighting against gangs, mutants and other dregs of society.

Not my cup of tea, but I suppose its a welcome addition for Goliath players.

Yeah, bike thing doesn’t hold my attention but it is definitely very Goliath.
Do kind of want to make a corpse grinder cult version though, using the grinder bits from the Goliath truck in place of the front axle/tyre.

Moar vehicles!

My first thought seeing the warcry and kill team boxes were necromunda conversions. Nurgle cultists or sump sea fishers, guild alliance crews, outcast gangs and so on.

I'm looking forward to seeing the terrain that'll come in the kill team box.

They better have a vehicle crew kit in the works for each gang.

Never crossed my mind, for some reason I imaged Necromunda being a planet almost entirely devoid of wood/plants except for some being grown in hab blocks deeper in the hive cities.

£28? So, identical as the Ash Nomad's Helemites and Orlock Quads

Yeah, one bike per sprue and two sprues to a box, just like with the Quads

The Goliath bike has to be about the worst vehicle sculpt from GW since the heady days of the taurox and stormraven.

I really like it. Yes it’s clearly a riff on the Halo vehicle I was educated on earlier, but it’s suitably pugnacious.

It’s also reminding me of something else, but I can’t put my finger on what.

There are design elements of Ski Mobiles, but there’s something sci-fi and it’s bugging me. I don’t know if it from another computer game, a cartoon, a movie or what.

Halo homages aside, it looks like something out of Borderlands.

Not played that either!

This is really irritating me. I think it might be another computer game, but it had rear track drive as I remember whatever it is being a sod to control. Or I watched someone struggle to ride one in a film.

I wouldn’t say they copied the halo one, just that it has similar ideas.
Definitely wasn’t the first thing I thought of, it’s closer to some other vehicles from stuff.
Can’t quite place where I think it comes from..
But I guess they might have looked at that.

Agreed in that I wouldn't say copied but rather inspired by personally. Copied or even a version/variant of wouldn't have major elements changed unlike various 3d model offerings. It's obvious though that the sculptor was aware of the Halo brute cycle though IMO and it is absolutely the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it.

It's alright but it's disappointing to see Necromunda gangs will continue to be constrained to one small sprue per release. Nobody should expect to get anything bigger than a heavy bike.

No reasonable person should expect more than one new small sprue per cycle. I just wish one of those cycles was a refresh of the basic gangs and then you could have two different sprues (original & new) in a basic gang box.

A combined box would be awkward for delauque since the brain fish need 2 sprues to make. So a 4 sprues box :

I just wish the upgrade sprue was bigger so we can have all the missing resin weapn and left/right version of all weapons. maybe a champ/female ganger/house hired guns kit

Speaking of Orks. With focus being put on the Ash Wastes, do y'all see an Ork gang making an appearance in the future?

Not a fan of the bike, it's supposed to look fast but the track in the back does not say 'speed' to me. A wheel would have been so much better.

And if there was any doubt, we're now definitely looking at a year or more of bike and buggies, whatever they can squeeze on a half sprue.

It's not supposed to look fast, the article literally said it "Trading speed and slick manoeuvrability for raw power and the ability to roll over difficult terrain – or other vehicles"
