If they bring back the Tauros. Please let them bring it back!

Edit - zooming into the image, the weapons on the top have magazines and look like heavy stubbers

I didn't think I needed an ongoing narrative for Necromunda but I've really enjoyed the first two installments of the new story and am looking forward to those answers as well!

That's a pretty spiffy looking gang.
Bonus, it looks like something one of us mere mortals could aspire to.

Nice buggy

They are fantastic.

I love when WarCom actually shows proper hobby content rather than the usual 'eavy metal style paint schemes from the box. I'll probably finally get around to buying Van Saars this week now on the strength of these alone. That's a proper good paint job!

Turns out you need to replace no more than 95% of the Taruox Prime to make it a decent looking model.

That conversion does look great.

Tauros confirmed!

Gods I hope it's plastic.

I'm probably going to buy all of the Necromunda books anyway, but that's some really janky bs with the Enforcers. They had 2 or 3 pages of rules in the last book and looks like 1 page in this book. That could have easily all been in one volume.

Its alright, in 6 months theyll announce Necromunda 2.0 and all these rules will be compiled into a single book.

Enforcer Tauris Venator...

That sounds dead sexy.

This is a very interesting move, because they’re either going to have to resurrect a resin model that’s been discontinued for quite a few years now or convert it to a new plastic kit. They haven’t done either of those things before; the closest was reusing one of the old rogue psykers, but they’d only just gone out of the normal range and it was in the early days of the revival.

Like they did with the Valkyrie, Baneblade, etc.

If the Squat vehicle is resin I can't imagine this one going plastic. I hope I'm wrong, but it seems unlikely.

If rules are in the book that's coming now and the model hasn't been previewed yet, odds are very low that it's coming later.

Is there not a bigger underlying market for the Tauros as they could easily slot it back into the Guard codex?

It also makes a great base vehicle for all the gangs. While the Squat vehicle does look nice it’s maybe too niche for the jump to plastic.

A general purpose Imperial buggy should have more market appeal than a highly specific Squat vehicle, no?

The Tauros was fairly prominent in the recent Kasrkin novel - the characters even made a real fuss over how cool it is - so maybe it's on its way to being more mainstream GW?

Just a reminder that servitors are currently on made to order, so if you want to grab some for your campaigns, now is the chance

Which company are we talking about again?

Tauros is already sculpted, so presumably it’s “just the make moulds, Kenneth”, and it’s on the market.

The Squat crawler still looks ace, and I can see it being used for general sci-fi gaming.

It'll be a little disapointing if the Tauros is resin again, but I'm expecting it will be.

Still good to see it returning in some form, although I would have prefered a variant of it than just the (Elysian) Tauros Venator again. You'd think Drop Troops and Enforcers would have different requirements from their vehicle.

Maybe Enforces like to basejump from the spires

Making it sound like either drop troops, or Enforcers have any say in the vehicles they get supplied with.... that is not the Imperial way. You will make do with whatever the powers that be have deigned to grace your presence with, and you will most certainly like it!

I'm still grumpy that there are no rhinos going on. Should be rhinos as far as the eye can see!

Of course they do. The Elysians aren't going around in some weighty vehicle that isn't suitable for what they do because they had to just use whatever was issued. They have a lightweight relatively unarmoured vehicle that meets their requirements of being air-droppable by Skytalon Valkyrie.

The Tauros is a vehicle that's meant to be quite common, but I wouldn't expect that very same air-dropapble lightweight modified variant to be used by Enforcers on a hive world. Theirs should at least have some armour to it rather than being the very same thing used by the Elysians.

Interesting for the future (from goonhammer)

Things mentioned in the story that may be relevant to future stuff:

House Catallus Brats attack Lady Haera.
Enforcers with the seven pointed star of Aranthus.
Hive Secundus being… a generally bad spot.
Malstrain brood in Secundus. That certainly doesn’t sound good.
A 14th Helmawr heir shows up, in a Malcadron Hunting Rig.
Ozostium wants to establish control over access to the Eye of Selene.

The old Arachni-Rig is gone from the FW store entirely. The page for the new plastic kit states "adventurous hobbyists can also remove the pegs from joints in the arms and legs, allowing you to adjust the pose further", and it does look like you may be able to build it without the jump pack components (see highlights on sprue). So maybe it is posable standing up and this is now the kit for both?

Or maybe people aren't going to care what GW"officially" says and just use it that way.
