Plastic yes... Guess I finally found my beserkers. Why only 4 man! XD

Get this in your eye holes!





And because it’s the common and understandable question….

This new multi-part plastic kit contains two Svenotar Scout Trikes and two Techmites, with arm and head options to distinguish your riders. They're a great way to add some fast firepower to your otherwise ponderous Ironhead Squat Prospector gangs, and work wonderfully alongside the super-heavy Exo-kyn we showed last week.

Hell yeah! That's ace! Shame about no Delaque vehicles...

They’re just super stealthy. So stealthy, it’s not possible to capture them in model form.

Also, I reckon the Squat stuff will appeal to Imperial Militia players of Heresy.

Necromunda Squats>Legions of Voltron

There. I said it. Prove me wrong.

That's still not all there is to come for the Squats of Necromunda, so join us again next week where we'll have something of the literary persuasion and something else all of your prospectors can enjoy.

Next book or maybe even a Living Ancestor psyker type?

Book and a Land Train, he only half-jokingly guesses, given how much of the old Squat stuff seems to be being reinvented for Necromunda whilst the Votan go and do their own newer thing.

Land Trains are mentioned in the article 😉

One of the two types of Space Dorfs better get an Iron Eagle Gyrcopter at some point soon...

Models of the year!

I’m liking that the Leagues have continued to develop their tech within their home patch, whereas those who settled within The Imperium either didn’t, or did so to a lesser extent.

Kinda like how Pioneers, when settling a new area don’t start off all fancy Dan with brick built buildings and that. Adds some nuance and design variety.

Still having a hard time getting into the Necromunda Squats, I do really love their drones.

So what is up with these, are they a delayed Ash Wastes season release or what? The exosuits make sense for Space Hulk season, bikes not so much.

I always hated the hover-trikes. It just didn't fit with the wheeled aesthetic all the other LoV vehicles. The "hover" elements also looked lazy - basically tires flipped horizontal. I can see people using these new Necromunda trikes in their LoV armies. I know that if I had a LoV army, I'd be swapping these in for the hover ones (or kitbashing them at least).

Given this isn’t a main game? Could just be something someone fancied adding.

Probably filling out the ranges for the gangs

I like the Necromunda squats, but it is always the silly firearms that get me. The twin barrel and triple magazine arrangements are just too silly to me. I'd probably replace them with different weapons.

I guess the relative lack of love for Nomads is a sales thing, but I am sad my tastes are a minority.

I've resisted getting Squats til now, though depending on what the next release is (according to the article there's at least 1 more model release coming up for them) I might have to add a seventh gang to my roster.

Hopefully the next release helps them out in the basic Underhive. Even a plastic weapons kit for the Prospectors box would be good.

Well these are mint. Need to pick them and the exo suits.

While the Ash Wastes boxed set is no longer on sale I expect (hope?) that the setting will still be supported for some years to come. Including continuing to sell the Ash Waste vehicles and releasing new vehicles. If I was a Delaque player I wouldn't hold my breath though...

The Ash Waste Nomads should really be the poster boys of the Ash Waste setting. Not allowing them to have vehicles was an "interesting" design choice, they should really have some bug that can transport them. Or some sort of chariot, or something. As you say though if GW think they're an unpopular gang they're unlikely to get anything more.

I could see Ash Waste nomads getting some kind of colossal centipede for their "transport vehicle". You could even make it semi-modular with a front, back and variable number of middle segments. I'm surprised none of the 3d print designers have done it yet.
Definitely not any type of sand worm. 😜

Also, a squat land-train could just be trailers for the Sklavian Explorator. Which I would personally hate because I'm not a fan of large resin vehicles.

The new vehicle does kind of make sense, since the first part of an Underhells campaign can include Ash Wastes battles.

Legions of Voltron? Sounds good to me!

"I'll Form the Head!"

I agree with the general sentiment; Prospectors are generally the better aesthetic, except for their ludicrous-even-by-40K-standards guns. Like, I'm a Scot and the closest I've ever come to a firearm is watching Forgotten Weapons youtube videos, and still looking at guns that are 70% magazine, 25% muzzle, and 5% outer shell with no apparent way to actually function makes me feel physical pain.

I wonder if I can lay hands on some of the hoverbike crew without having to buy the whole kits...

The new Squat Trike is brilliant. IMO, a very different design aesthetic than the Votann...

Don't worry, the Delaque will receive their 1960s Cadillacs at some point.

I'm never going to stop noticing that so many of these guys who are running around in the supposedly really dangerous and toxic ash wastes don't even bother to cover their mouths...

At least these have the presence of mind to wear eye protection on an open motor vehicle, unlike say the Escher Cutters.

I want to see the taxi cab from Escape From New York.

I want the cab from 5th Element

Seems to me that the Votann brief was "update these little 1980s dorks and make them cool" while the Squat one was "update these little 1980s dorks but keep them dorky".
