Two New Dramatis Personae Arrive on Necromunda Armed to the Max With Bombs and Blades.

Anyone care to guess what the missing letters of Estus Jet’s name are?

Oooh so edgy!

Well she does seem to have a lot of knives.

You’d think being a fairly smart guy I’d have figured that out. Seems I’m just not that smart!

In my defense I have been watching a stupid amount of Cats does Countdown...

They're alright. Competent sculpts but not exciting.

Interesting how the guy has classic cartoon dynamite sticks with a fuse and an electronic detonator switch.

He also has the classic T-shaped detonator dynamo thingy on his back. I would say we was well equipped to deal with a range of different toys

He really needs a cigar to be lighting his dynamite sticks though. Missed opportunity. Although I guess we don't want to be glorifying smoking, even if it is in a dystopian hellhole

Wait, orphanarium? Is that a Futurama reference?
Also, necromundan orphanages teach knife throwing. I’m… more surprised that I’m surprised by that than I probably ought to be.

So do multiple GSC models, you know...

Look at new IG range, then say it again with straight face

I guess nobody in-universe could figure that out.

I guess not, as they didn't even follow the letter order that was presented.

I place the average Necromundan underhive citizen's reading ability at the level of Dave 'Ouroboros' Lister's adoptive parents.

I like the Estus Jet mini--maybe not enough to pay Forge World prices, but...

You could easily paint her up as Leela, i mean she has the ponytail, the bare midriff, the boots and one good eye... you'd have to do Fry Jericho, Ambull Zoidberg and the rest of the gang too if you did. Lady Helmawr as Mom, of course.

Damn but that’s a cool idea. You could even have them tool around the Wastes in one of those new Forge World crawlers painted up like the Planet Express ship.

Ripperjacks

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/12/19/does-your-gang-need-a-mascot-the-outland-beastmaster-can-sort-you-out/

They’re maybe a bit grotesque but I’m getting a very Star Wars feel from the creatures.

They're cool. The beastmaster's not the strongest sculpt but the Ripperjacks are cool.

Oh my god those Ripperjacks are amazing.

Imagine that being the last thing you see in a life of violence?

Well that's nightmare fuel...



And I thought the little ones that came with the Beastmaster Wyrd were scary!

Just noticed the beak inside the general maw area. Nice.

Those are awesome beasties!!

With a maw like that they will do more than just suck on power cables

Wow those rock. They'd be great for D&D as well.

Yeah, they've gone from xenomorph face-huggers to Mynocks!

The lack of eyes, where by all rights we’d expect eyes is extra Creepy to me.

I like him, he looks cool enough in a Star Trek background character kind of way.

I hope we get a pack of Milliasaurs as well, similar in size and styled like the one that goliath dude made his coat out of.

Agreed.

Whilst I like the Beastmaster, I’d rather a slightly lack lustre but easily replaceable Human Model than lack lustre ‘Orrible Gribblies.

I think the eyes are on the back, like a flounder
