From what I can tell all the historical fans pretty much ended up in warlord games .

If you look deep enough on warlords site you can find a bunch of posts from their early days about them hosting games of warhammer historical at games day and thanking GW for their help...It's all very strange...


On the bright side last time I was at WW the staff and I had a good conversation about all the local games companies and how nice their miniatures are.I was told that the old line of "don't ask don't tell" with regards to other companies has since been removed, So whilst they won't say "hey, go buy these instead" they will say "yeah I play bolt action, It's fun!"

[nic-e]

Well if i wasn't sold already then the funky riffs and pissed off cockney accent have tipped me over the edge.

GW are releasing news so fast it's becoming stressful to try and post it !

Necromunda playable as a tile style dungeon/tunnel game and 3d multi level game.
Tiles in the game look cool, card versions of the zone mortalis board with some plastic scenery that pays homage to the old necro bulkheads.
figures are all multi part plastics, custimisable right down to the hair(!)

Also orcs for shadespire,
New AoS campaign coming with death model revealed,
Chapter approved coming,
Warhammer heroes award for nominated local hobby heroes.
And the pain app looks pretty good. (lets you pick colours from photos and tells you which colours to mix to make them.Basic colour work but can be useful.it does other stuff too.)

Well after seeing what is in the boxed set I am hoping for them to release a rulebook by itself. Sewer sections don't really scream underhive to me. That way I will be able to look at the new rules with my old gangs and my old terrain.

[chamberlain]

Separate eBook and I'll take a look, but don't really like the miniatures or tiles enough to buy the game.

...pissed off cockney accent

Made me want to Van Gogh myself!

Sold on the game though 

[TheMightyFlip]

I really liked the preview artwork of the Escher leader, a real through back to Blanches Amzonette painting from waaaaaaaay back in the past of time.

Rulebook looks smalish. I wonder if it will have full campaign or they will BloodBowl it.
But I was sold on anything Necro with minis since 1996 so...

Pity our thread was gutted


Gals Boltgun/Needler is strange but her whip is best GW made so far


Goliath look too uniform near the Escher IMHO (I guess thats a boon of modular hairstyles
But I like them, They will see a ton of uses in =Inq28= style of gaming


What bother me are strange special dice. But I am quite happy with playing 1st/Community editions if rules will fail on me.

Looks great. Tiles in the box suit me just fine as I don't have the space for multi-level terrain at the moment. If I was feeling (very) flush I could upgrade to the Zone Mortalis 3D tiles. Looks like those bulkheads will fit the 3d versions too.

Optimistic regarding the rules too as it looks like James Hewitt was the main rules guy before he left GW and I've liked all the boxed games he did. Always seem that bit more interesting than the main GW rules.

[Elbows]

Definitely an interesting decision to make them flat tiles for the starter terrain - but it makes sense with the sub-$100 rumour I'd heard regarding the starter box.  Shame people won't get an option for discounted SW terrain like previously.  The models look okay, but I've never played Escher or Goliath so I'm kind "eh".  Waiting on Cawdor, Van Saar, Delaque etc.

Interesting to see unique dice, unit cards, and the mention of mutants and spyrers in the promo video.  Sadly absent was any mention of Arbites though that could be an expansion.

[Jagannath]

I'm fully stoked - the Goliath and Escher aesthetic is close enough that with a bit of work those will mix into the same faction... techno barbarians here we come!!!!

[Elbows]

Yep, generic techno-crazies will be super useful to a lot of folks outside the game.  Mad Max projects, etc.

[blacksoilbill]

I like the look of the new figures for the most part, but what's with the giant revolvers the Goliaths are toting? Those are just odd.

[AWu]

Rewolwer shotguns probably ?
Or rewolwer stubbers/auto (well... rewolwing) guns ?

Goliath always had biggest weapons

[Dr Mathias]

I'm all in on this. Everything looks and sounds fantastic to me.

I like the introduction of tunnels/tiles- there are so many scenes in the various books and fluff pieces that involve cramped tubes and tunnels, or habitat areas, that it makes sense to address that aspect of the setting. Necromunda isn't all vast domes filled with walkways and gantries.

Time to start figuring out how to make a 3D version of the board sections
