Nah, it's too late. Already I'm using my influence on GW's design team to make the Delaque vehicles giant amphibious squids to rival the Van Sar spiders. But they'll be psychic giant amphibious squid vehicles.

Squid vehicles is 100% cool, however

it should be like this


with a squid inside


Think like the tanks out of the Emperor Battle for Dune game for the Navigators Guild subfaction.

Ah. So us Delaques get nothing.

Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool.

Hey, there’s always the next campaign setting. Bookromunda gotta book and all that.

Well that’s poo.

I'm now expecting Delaque being featured in the next boxset, if this old roadmap is still relevant.


Technically, this isn't correct anymore, because Ruins of Jardlan would be the 4th book released since Ash Waste released.

Have they revealed the price of the plastic arachni-rig yet?

Seems like a ganger-like fighter can take Cutter now. New Rig still keep the heavy las carbine.

Do you expect a different price to the other 4 gang vehicles?

I have no expectations and didn't even know there was a specific necromunda gang vehicle tier of pricing.

Cross the Ash Wastes in Short Order With the Skalvian Explorator for the Ironhead Squat Prospectors



I was excited for the Skalvian Explorator, then:

All three of these resins kits will be available to pre-order from Forge World soon.

All in FW resin.

That vehicle is lovely, just struggling to get a sense of the size of it.

Around Rhino sized I reckon?

I think the footprint will be larger than a Rhino based on the twin heavy stubber on the turret. Maybe more Land Raider sized.

Resin means I'll never get one. Shame, looked like a good base for a Battlewagon conversion.

I was gonna guess closer to Sicaran size based on the tracks and 'cockpit'. Not at all what I was expecting, but looks neat.

i begin to see why the Mechanicus keeps mistaking Necron sites for Human Archeotech.. the DAoT based Van Saar stuff does have some necron like visual elements to it.

Fantastic sculpt, but at resin prices... nope

I'm conflicted about the vehicle. I love it and hate it at the same time.

Really loving the new characters and droids though!

I do wonder if we're still also expecting a plastic kit like bikers? And if the same logic applies for Enforcers, which I imagine we'll find out next week.

Yep another loss for me, lovely kits if in plastic. Resin? Nope.

Fairly certain the tracks are a variation of the chronos pattern ironcrawler tracks, so the length of that, or there abouts.

Should we expect the new pipe models to be released as GW branded vapes?

Amazing model

If that vehicle was plastic I would have bought a half dozen of them to use for conversions and kitbashing. Being resin, I doubt I'll ever even buy one.

Also, I noticed that the forgeworld arachni-rig is listed as no longer available, which is a shame because it was supposed to be a "heavy" arachni-rig vs the "light" arachni-rigs that were coming in plastic (and also IMO looks cooler). Wonder if its going through a resculpt or something.

The new not-AdMech crawler is nice, but I'm not sure that it would really be very practical for transporting salvage, with very little stowage capacity.

Also, having something so sealed up like a submarine on tracks seems odd when other gangers are wandering around the ash wastes with just a handkerchief over their mouth.

Squats strike me as being slightly better equipped/smarter than your average ganger

If you've got the resources to block out the nasties you take them; quite a few ganger models have breathers on them. Squats just have more than the common gangs.


Got to say I really really like the vehicle! I think it might be the best one squats have after the hovertrike.

Oh my God that is so co-

"All three of these resins kits will be available to pre-order from Forge World soon."

... never mind.

Ah no. Was reading through the article and thought these are my favourite models for the game so far. The squat with the pipe is everything I love about sci-fantasy. And the explorator has a real Capt.Scarlet/Thunderbirds charm to it.

Then they drop the bombshell that they are all FW resin. Blugh!

Yeah, huge missed opportunity for that to be a resin kit it seems. The response is almost universal that it looks cool as hell and people want one, until they see its resin.

The tracks on that looks almost identical to the Ironcrawler. I'm willing to be it's about the same size.
