I don't mind what anyone uses to represent anything. As someone who likes collecting/modelling, though, the ability to buy a box of these and cover both units without representing a unit that cannot fly with a model on a flight stand is quite appealing.

Noticed the psyker (Wyrd) was up for order. Was thinking about picking it up, but...
I didn't expect $72 for a human model and a couple unrelated bots.

Pass, I guess.

$50 USD for two arachni-rigs.... I can't believe I'm going to say this about new GW product but that actually looks very reasonable. This is my hobby equivalent of hell freezing over.

Lol... I thought that as well. I was expecting AT LEAST $ 65 for the new Van Saar box.

£24 for 2 from local discounters. I am pretty tempted just to have a play with them...

I always loved the Tauros so cool to see it out and about again.

They're the same cost as all the other gang vehicle boxes, why is it remarkable?

'Cause they're too big walky thingies, and we expect GW to slightly raise prices with new releases.

Thought the new Ash Waste Nomad character would go up for pre-order this week. Bummer.

From goonhammer review the new rig can't have 3-4 arms like the OG one, which is much cheaper and more effective as Jumper can move much further, bummer.

Tauros! Feth yes! Hope it's plastic, hope it has the transport version that is mentioned in the FW books.

On the Tauros?

I think it’s best to assume it’ll be resin, with the outside chance of being pleasantly surprised by a plakky kit.

I'd assume plastic myself, but I'll probably be disappointed.

Design looked different enough to the resin from that one shot we got to make me think it's intended to be added as another "big kit" like the Ridgehauler.

oof I don't want to spend $100 on this.

Excited for the book, but now I wonder if the Ash Wastes Hab bundle box is a holiday release?

There was another illustration/photo of the Tauros on instagram. The turret weapons were those Concussion gun things, but cannon sized.

Sadly I can’t prove I didn’t simply imagine this.

Wait…found it!

Well that confirms a model for sure.

Now the question... material?

Resin, undoubtedly.

But it might be a new sculpt rather than just the old one with new crew.

Yeah probably resin like the Squat one

If anything track from plastic tauros run better on sand, lol.

Got the new book.

Enforcer Tauros can be armed with Twin Heavy Stubber, or Twin Concussion

I'm going with plastic still.

If it was the OG resin, we would have seen the other options(flamer and grenade launcher for the Tauros; multi-laser and lascannon for the Venator) surely.

They were CAD pieces, right down to the molds.

I didn't realize Urson was carrying a second Techmite Oculi on his back.

Also, apparently he's supposed to be the OLDER brother of Orrin, the other new squat character. I wonder if the sculptor wasn't aware of this, since Orrin looks waaaay older

It sort of implies that they aren't cloned like the League Kin are too, so seemingly they don't have an Ancestor Core after all.

It's odd that the younger of the two squat brothers has the grey hair, while the older one has a lustrous brown beard and trendy cap.

The older one doesn't have to deal with the rest of the group, just goes off on a lifelong hunting trip.

You'd look a lot younger too!

My brother is about to turn 45, and is 17 months and 2 weeks older than me.

He’s 6’4”, is still blonde, but is a baldy slaphead in denial. Think Bill Bailey, but stretched vertically and with all redeeming features excised.

I’m 6’2”, full and frankly lustrous head of hair, and if it wasn’t for salon visits, I’d look more like Dumbledore than Hagrid.

Family genes man, they’re pretty wild!

Except in out of the way villages where options become ever more limited.

Also the younger one is the last lord of the Hold, I think that would turn anyone prematurely grey.

I think this just goes to prove what many of us have suspected. Mad Dok is actually a squat.

It may be due to his luscious beard, but something about Urson's head seems off compared to the other prospectors. The armor is pretty much identical, but the other squats head's sit further back and lower down.

I'm holding out that the Enforcer Tauros will be plastic, The resin turnaround time is a ton shorter than plastic, so why hold up the release if made of resin?
It seems like we will get another release window of Necromunda stuff sometime soon to get the Tauros and other items from the book, maybe some more dice.
