Can you take the roof off for gaming?

Nice way to get an arachni rig in plastic

Yes. And potentially walls too to use the base as a platform

Plastic Arachni-rigs Bound Across the Ash Wastes in the Aranthian Succession: Ruins of Jardlan

Spoiler:

Dammit... that's one of my two favorite Necromunda models! *checks wallet*

Being plastic, this should be available through normal outlets and not special order from the UK, correct? Obviously initial sellout and ebay scalping notwithstanding...

They're cool models, and it is nice to get a plastic version of the Arachni-Rig suit, but as their vehicle choice it's a little disapointing because of similar it is to something they already have. The others got something completely unique for theirs.

went with just removable roof here but yes would not be hard to make the walls removable in one section as well, also giving you the walls and roof to use stand alone while the floor becomes a platform. its a nicely designed kit, far bit of detail but seems designed with drybrush painting in mind.

Managed the Ash Wastes terrain set in an afternoon and an evening

Ooo, incoming Encorcer vehicles.

Fingers crossed for squad cars.

Ya, while I liked everything in that article, that last line about Enforcer and Squat vehicles incoming is what got me most hyped.

Torn on just doing a Goliath gang, as they and Escher seem like the most "complete", or going with Ash Nomads (I like their look) or Enforcers (also like their look). The thought of Enforcer vehicles has me leaning towards them.

Realistically, probably going to do all 3.

Then drop them all when/if they do a Pit Slave Gang like they had back in the day.

Enforcers I’m expecting Rhinos or similar.

A plastic Repressor would be a very smart choice, could be used for multiple factions across Necromunda and 40k (Enforcers, Arbites, Inquisition, Sisters of Battle, maybe even Scions). I'd love to see that

Might be a bit tough for gangers to deal with though, that thing was well armoured back in the day. I suppose it provides a target for the twin lascannon Van Saar model.

The Enforcer robots were plastic and yet direct only, so the material seems to be no guarantee.

Plastic? Yes sir!

I want Plastic Votann walkers now, pretty please.

Is the Bird and keeper plastic too or Forge World?

Almost guaranteed resin, or they would have shown it in the video with the book, suits, and bundle box

All the other special characters, except Kal Jerico & Scabs are resin, so probably resin.

Lawmasters, obviously.
It's kind of annoying that they split Enforcer new stuff between 2 books though, instead of putting all of it in one or the other of the books.

Probably going to be rules for the Squat Claim Jumper in this book. I'd be happy as heck if the 'new" squat vehicles is just Hernkyn Pioneers.

I’m mixed. Ya, I’d have liked a new vehicle, but plastic Arachni-Rig and being able to skip the book it’s in…

Wait where did those new heads come from on the Neoteks?

I wouldn't be shocked if the Enforcer stuff was split out this way because they opted to do it via expansion books rather than giving them an updated faction splatbook.

I'm kinda/sorta expecting bikers for them though. The Ash Wastes rulebook had a quote from a biker patrol.

I wonder if it is too much to ask that that Arachni-Rig kit makes the old one as well.

Well crap... Thanks for the info though.

Hahaha good luck getting a Repressor on one half sprue.

Don’t need the full tank one one half sprue. Just whatever bits are needed to add to the existing rhino kit.

And we’ve seen some vehicle Sprues (Ridge Hauler) be considerably more than a half sprue.

Hmm...

All told, that terrain is AUD$450. I wonder what the box will bring it down to (assuming it does).

If they would grow a set, you would think that producing the two adversary characters in plastic would be a priority.

I picked up 1, and it cost me 50.bucks. I ordered it back in the very beginning, a year ago.

I've got a few new and old figures in there. A couple of Cadian squad models, the Necromunda 8th Military Greim Military Attaché, and a Horus Heresy Rhino, with stowage and attachments from Tamiya model, and Verdun.

Other then unattainable. At least the models in plastic are available.

Repressor would be cool, but could be a bit unbalanced; no other faction has anything that size except the truck, which is available to everybody.

Bikes are more likely. Should really be a V8 interceptor with supercharger though…

Lady Ash and the grapplehawk are very nice. Looks like a lot of fun to paint.

The Enforcers will be getting an upgraded Enforcer robot with jump pack and handles for the figures to hold onto .

Don’t be ridiculous. It’s going to be a massive canid that they can ride into battle like the knights of old terra

I’ll take all three!

It would be kinda baller for the Enforcers to get a wasteland scout division with cyborg not-horses, dusters, and big wide-brimmed hats.
