Okay, those are GOOD.

We saw them months ago on this thread :P

But I agree.
Unfortunately treeman is very divisive
(I am ok with him personally  - I think the painjob is not making him justice - but most people tend to hate it)



And As anyone who played BB know you need max Treemen when playing Halfings :P
(and you still are lowest possible tier anyway :)

That's a named character though right, not the generic one? Latter should be released at some point soon I'd imagine, but apparently it makes sense to have a star player first...

ahh

This make sense only if standard one will be made from  plastic (which makes sense as he plays for wood elves too and they are one of top and most popular teams)

Sorry for double post.

GW released for free few more Tactics cards for Necromunda..
Like with previous some are super powerful, some are rubbish
But they are free and Gene cult, Chaos cult (i love theirs) and Venators got their first ones.

Well, if you don't like that treeman preview an older version is up for sale on made to order. I have the even older version which I think is best for halfling teams.

The Halfling team is ace, no question about that. However, this must be up there in GW's pantheon of all-time greatest rip offs. Twelve Halflings? Seriously? This has to be a deliberate gouge. I defy anyone to defend it.

Hehe I must be getting used to GW pricing then as I thought £20 for  12 Halflings plus a roster sheet, transfer sheet, 2 sausage-wielding turn markers, 3 extra “balls” was ok value.

It's the fact that 12 Halflings is never enough. Almost all Halfling teams are going to be 14 H plus two Treemen. If they can get seven undead on a sprue they can bloody well get seven Halflings on one. Regular GW customers seem to have infinite patience for their pee taking methods.

Well granted it's been awhile (Read: 3rd Edition) since I've played 'Flings but the only time I've ever had a full roster was 12 'Flings, 2 Treemen, Treeman Starplayer and Puggy Baconbreath and that was due to being underdogs so many times I could afford 2 stars at once.

They die so quick I never had a full team other than then.

Though nice little dig with the ''Regular GW customers seem to have infinite patience for their pee taking methods'' comment at then end, I'm a fairly regular buyer and I have no patience for GW silly pricing and practices.

Those guys are on half sprues they could easily drop in an extra sprue..
Box will have 5 small sprues anyway

I know this is no pricing woes consolation but judging by Goblin team, those sprues could be available in blister to finish off the team

Some nice new reveals. I think I'm dold on the enforcers for necromunda (might use them in kill team though) however the sniper let's them down.

Elf BB team looks nice.

Elf team is the first totally dressed team :P
Its a nice detail although I am not sure its very wood elfy - I pictured them as most fear of elves not most prude.

I am not to keen on the enforcers. I think they look a little bland but this is helmets fault IMHO. Too space mariny.
Will be much better with bare heads.

I love pose with flashlight and pistol though..

My faves are Crow guys for Warcry and new Cultists  :-*
