New Necromunda "starter kit" has been announced, Dark Uprising, comes with a new Chaos Cult (cos we cant have to many of them these days) and an updated Enforcers gang with new riot shields and heavy weapons. Also included is a whole load of modular terrain.

Love the look of the terrain and the enforcers, but the chaos cult leaves me a bit cold. Hopefully, that saves me a good wad of cash!

I had a quick look and while the cultist champion looked good I'm not so sure of the rest of the gang. The terrain looked very cool though.

There are various musings elsewhere suggesting that there might be new upgrade plastic sprues for enforcers. I think someone counted 11 miniatures and you only get 5 on a sprue. As you say, there are the weapons and shields too.

Yeah i gave the Enforcers another look, my guess is a single regular Enforcer sprue giving you 5 guys that have already been released, then another with 6 guys, which I wouldnt be surprised if they were snap fit monopose like Black Fortress or Killteam Rogue Trader.

Those enforcers in the photo are not painted the exact same way. Very simmilar but with variance.
So they used oldmodels (cheap bastards

My guess is too a snap fit sprue

Cultist are bit sad after those wonderful Blackstone cultists set
I hope they are multi pose

New band for Warcry is a bit generic but I just need that beastmen for my Purlpe Spire slave hunter beastmen..

[beefcake]

The guy on the left with the flail and sword looks like the pit fighter from WHQ. Purposeful I reckon.

[Belligerentparrot]

The Flesh Grinder necro gang would have been more interesting (to me) if some female gang members had been included. I like the apparent mixture of Goliaths and others though.

Was hoping Ratskins would be next.

I can't explain to myself why I am ambivalent about the Enforcers. It looks like an awesome kit, but I just have no interest in buying them.

Prety excited about this new release (well the ogors really) I like the new Tyrant despite the washing line hanging above him. Not too sure about thered hand paint scheme though Surely if it was blood or paint on them it would rub off onto the weapons. But that's just a paint scheme anyway. New basic ogors would have been nice though which is what I was hoping for.

There might be.
Female Iron Golems are quite unobvious.

I sadly expect mono pose with variation like Black fortress beastmen

This guy is exact the same

[Condottiere]

Could one of the apologists here clarify why Greatswords are now $45 and those subpar halberdiers/spearmen and crossbowmen/handgunners $30? They got rid of regular Dwarfs in favor of Hammers/Longbeards and Ironbreakers/Irondrakes to justify the now $50 tag...

Image not working mate. Don't think the forums can parse a google search image link like that.

[Lost Egg]

That's odd...it was working yesterday and it was definitely the same guy. It looks to be the standard now for GW to double up sculpts in the same kit...given the prices they ask for that seems a bit tight fisted.

Bloody Google changed linking? It was link to my google photosalbum open for anyone.

I changed it for Fb, it should be better now


I totally expect them to be done like bBlackstone fortress Beastmen and Psykers.
Interchangale parts fitting pair of bodies.

But this guy is total clone and its the one with most interesting weapon..

[Coenus Scaldingus]

Yes, picture works now!

Looking at the whole group, there appear to be 5 different bodies, each shown three times. A five-figure sprue would be consistent with all the other Necromunda gangs. With the differently sized/proportioned bodies in this gang, not quite all parts may be interchangeable between all bodies (and ruleswise, not all may be able to use all weapons - only the smaller guys (juve-equivalent?) appear to have a pistol.. as it happens, three of them holding it exactly in the same way).
The guy with that friendly looking circular saw weapon appears to have the same main body of the one in the front centre, which means that at the very least the heads should be interchangeable. Difficult to say whether the arms would fit another body, the weapon is held pretty close to the figure.
Even if made into the same parts as the other Necromunda sets, however, there doesn't seem to be too much variation in weapon loadouts for this gang. Unless they reserve all alternative weapons for a Forge World upgrade kit of course!

3 big bodies, 2 small bodies
3 same sprues
