Really?

Cus i'm looking at the website now and even if you went all in on the accessories, the bundle for that is only £37.50 . That's the book, dice, measuring template and cards.

...and if you wanted to engage in the malign portents stuff you really only need to book.

Yep, a mere £12 if you shop at the right places will get you the book. The only thing that you really could do with adding onto that to get the most out of the campaign rules is a harbinger model but for some people £16 seems to still be considered an armies worth of cash.

For some wargamers, it'll always be 1987.

It can take a while to drop old mindsets. I remember being shocked at £6 for a 3 figure blister back in 2001. And let's not forget that people were bitching in 1987 about the cost of models and how these new kids just accept whatever GW put out.

I'm excited for this one.

Yeah I'm only really moaning because I can't afford/justify to buy all of this month's releases 
Skullvane Manse is just great.

Hired guns for Necromunda by FW.

I still can't get over how bad the pistol arm is on the tall male scummer. The sculptor needed to study anatomy a bit more before being thrust out into the world as a GW/FW sculptor.

Some FW sculpts can be a bit ropey. I thought the Blood Bowl stuff from recent times was a bit rough.

[Andrew Rae]

That is true.

Not a fan of that arm either- It could be the angle of the photo though?

[Andrew Rae]

There's a 360 spin on the FW site, even worse from the rear. It's a common digi-sculpt rookie mistake, lazily rotating the arm from the wrong place - in this case somewhere on the ribcage. There doesn't appear to be any movement of the shoulder either, something GW figures don't often have as they're mostly modelled in rigid armour and shoulder movement is never factored in, but should have been done in this case.

could use more skullz tho

I reckon get rid of the roof. Makes the building look crap.

OOF, They have not aged well.
I don't remember Kal Jericho being so so ugly.
and mad donna seems to have aged like a fine cheese, in that she looks melted.
Maybe it's just the painjobs but damn those are some faces.
