Forgebane goes up for pre order this coming saturday, And the necron codex will be following close behind it.

Which is great and all, but when are they going to get to the REALLY important stuff and relaunch man O war in the mortal realms?

With all those flying ships it would be very cool.. But after Dreadfleet flop i guess they are reluctant..

REveals from GAMA.

Kill team is back, more in depth ,with new (really nice looking) modular scenery.

chaos team for bloodbowl, lots of conversion potential.

two new shadespire warbands, blood warriors and stormcast swifthawk agents.

Van saar for necromunda, They look AMAZING. Completley un40k, utterly sci fi, with clear plastic shields and high tech weapons, i can see them being used in every sci fi game from now until the end of plastic.

and we might soon have some proper info on the Idoneth deepkin!

Ouch!

Those Van Saar look superb....I think they may break my resistance.

And those Deepkin look VERY interesting.

Wow, GW have really turned it around. Cut free from the shackles of the previous management team, they are really producing some excellent stuff. The vanSaar models are just superb. Looks like they are trying all sorts of new developments to encourage newcomers too, they look set for another 30 years at this rate.

There was a bit of anecdotal gossip floating around when Roundtree took over , Saying that he called them up and said nothing was off the table, they can pursue all their side projects and everything that had been off limits was now free for review.
seems that given a more open and liberated creative environment, the GW team can do wonders.

I'm hopeful.

Kill Team needs to hit it out of the park, but I'm not sure they will - Shadow War was mediocre garbage. If they can steer away from that, perhaps something to consider. I've long wanted to do a proper 40K skirmish, but I loathe the idea of making one myself.

Van Saar look excellent, full stop. They look great for any kind of sci-fi endeavor, and would make amazing IG infantry, Imperial Assassins, or any generic things you need.

GW is still heading a good direction - now if only they'd get their head out of their ass and stop charging $30-35 for single character sprues we'd be set.

Wow. Those Van Saar are great minis. I know they were the tech crowd in the hive but they seem too techie for my necromunda liking. I still love the sculpts though. I really hope they bring out new Spyrer minis. They will cost and arm and a leg per mini I reckon though as you only need a few for a gang.

They do look great. Don't know about using them as Van Saar, but I don't know what their new fluff is.
But I will be picking more then a few of them up. Think they would be great for an inquisitor assault team or regular agents kitted out for more overt action.

Could also be a governors body guard. Guard Special Ops team...etc

I know that I will make at least two teams biased off of the Mass Effect MERC groups. Such as Blue Suns, and another done up like Eclipse who will use some Tau tech. (they will also work as Tau human-helper infiltration teams)

The new Necromunda miniatures obviously are superior sculpts to the old gangs. But I'm heavily invested in the old metal minis; I have nearly all the original gangs, and Van Saar is one of the few I'm still lacking.

But right here, right now, I may be swayed to get me the new miniatures instead of the old metal ones. It looks like GW finally managed to extract, distill and refine cool and sculpt it into miniatures!

I got an immediate Infinity vibe from them, especially the ones with the multivisored face masks. If I won't be using them for Necromunda, they'll be very useful for any generic scifi setting...

Colour me interested!

Van Saar have access to archotech weapons plants allowing them to make far more advanced equipment than anyone else, however there is a fault with the system leaving the clan riddled with radiation poisoning, so they need the armour suits to live.

I'm still on the fence about the new Necromunda rules but I will get some Van Saar. They are great figs.

Maj Guiscard · « **Reply #8113 on:** March 15, 2018, 06:23:37 PM »

Non Space Marine High Tech Human Soldiers!
Woot, I'm in

commissarmoody · « **Reply #8114 on:** March 16, 2018, 05:45:06 AM »

Thanks mighty flip for filling me in on their background.
And looking forward to seeing what you do with them Major Guiscard. Will 8 ball be receiving new kit then?
I plane on makeing a few groups out of these new figs.
