Maybe it will be comparable to the gang upgrade box. Two small sprues to make 4 turrets and 2 boxes for around £20

I for one welcome our new autonomous overwatch.

I fully expect them to have quite bad ballistic skill and limited options. The lore is that they don’t even have the sensor detail required to detect any kind of IFF so asking them to figure out which of several grenade types is appropriate for the target is a bit much imho. Maybe the controller can be used to toggle the ammo, but I would not be surprised if you select an ammo type on deployment and that’s it.

one could hope, but i'm expecting they'll be more than that since it is GW.

if they are that cheap, i'd probably buy a box for non-GW game use.

Looking forward to having official rules for my sentry guns.

People aren't using Tarantulas, Rapier's, Mole Mortar's, and scrap automated HW platforms?

Why?

Probably mostly due to size.
Having gangers carry around Rockgrinder-sized tarantulas would feel odd.
Also, no sentry rules in the current rulebook.

I was just looking at the announcement on WarComm again, and they've changed the picture of the book from a hardback to a softback.

Huzzah! My old comment looks stupid now, but a change was made!

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but do we know the release date for Necromunda: Hive Secundus? I'm as keen as the next guy to get my hands on more genestealers, but I can't find when we should expect this one. The WH Community preview was mid-may, but I don't see it on preorder yet...?

We haven't gotten a date.

Ash Wastes is marked as "while stock lasts", so it's likely soon.

The new version of Age of Simar is real soon now, so probably some time after that. August or September maybe?

I've been assuming/budgeting that we won't see the Necro box until August at the earliest. AOS will suck up a lot of air.

Aim for closer. AOS is supposed to be June 29th preorders, July 13th release

There were several pieces of terrain that were shown in the preview video for hive secondus (melted zone mortalis walls and columns, plus some sort of techno gazebo). The terrain pieces showed up in several shots, but I don’t recall GW ever calling attention to them.

Has there been any indication on whether those were one-off ‘scratch builds’ for purposes of photographs, or if they will be part of some new terrain kit?

No indication. If they follow current trends, they'll be part of a separate "fightzone" set.

At the end of the post on secudus they say "We’ll have loads more to show you from Necromunda: Hive Secundus in due course – and more from both the Spyrers and the Malstrain, alongside new ruined Zone Mortalis terrain, and a new book."

I'm assuming that is the ruined Zone Mortalis Terrain.

Nice terrain.

LAWKS!!!!

I’m getting me some of that!

Very nice, good that it's compatible with the zone mortalis terrain too.

Looks nice, though we still need a big (ideally cheaper) box of the old bulkheads and nothing else, never mind new ones.

But the Zone Mortalis was supposed to be 2.5d terrain. Forming solid walls you couldn’t get over. These things are now making it full 3d… gah.

Considering the very first wave of ZM plastics came with stairs, that ship has sailed long ago.

Speaking as someone who already has a lot of Zone Mortalis terrain I really don't see the benefit of releasing the same stuff looking like it's been chewed up by a dog. At least my wallet is happy that I don't plan to create a whole new Necromunda board

Some of us don’t have dogs, though?

More like a flambe torch, but yea. I do appreciate the new pieces (girders and pipes and the data bank)

I guess that answers my question.

Looking like a possibility for preorders for Hive Secondus going up on June 22?

I just bought a whole wad of mdf zone mortalis type columns/walls/door. But I haven't put it together yet.
It can go along with the columns/walls/doors that I haven't put together from the Hive War box and the original Underhive box.
I was waffling on buying the the Dark Uprising box until it went out of print just as I finally decided to get one.

Oh, and I just noticed the Ash Wastes box now says "Last Chance to Buy".
