The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

One thing irking me about the paintjobs are the buzzy bee kneepads,. Are the kneepads really that hazardous that they need to be painted that way. (Still WAY better than I can paint)

[pocoloco]

Originally my favourites gangs were the Eschers and the Van Saars. Curious to see the new look of the Van Saars, if GW manages to get that far with this new 'munda. Going to pick up the new stuff today, the core box, the book (one of many, it seems, unfortunately) and extra terrain boxes.

Got the old Cawdor gang box (MIB) as well couple of blisters... don't dare to open them yet as don't have a chance to basecoat them unless with a brush 

Like the look of those FW 'munda minis, except that batsman. I too think they could have done better, now, as stated earlier by many, the mini seems to be too busy. Of course, being a lousy and lazy painter might affect my opinion

[FionaWhite]

Which one?

That'd be this poor random Escher:

Whoa, cool paint scheme (and well done). Might be stealing that one ; )

Is that yours?

Of all the classic gangs I found Orlocks the least interesting.  They looked like mediocrity and too many details short of an identity (Hey let's put loincloths on some Catachans.).  Of the three new gangs I've seen it's not shocking that, if they have done something of distinction, it is being underwhelming.

Just to clarify, none of that's actually mine, just an example of the mini in question I found off the internet - my paintjob would be considerably less competent. 
On the bright side you have my full permission to steal the paint scheme.

Games workshop are running a community survey asking for customer feedback. They've mentioned in the comments that they may be opening up an online forum soon aswell!

Those poor bastards. I hope they get a bonus.

You thought this over the original Goliaths?

Now I thought the Orlocks back then were dull, but I hated the concept and execution of the Goliath models when I first saw them. Over the years though the old Necromunda stuff has grown on me so I can see it all as being of it's time.

I'm sure they know what to expect if they do set up a forum. They've been on Facebook a little while now.

Haha, yes... the old forum was a quite something.

I remember that forum 

Can’t see it getting much mileage in the current day and age though. Forums aren’t hip.

My copy of Gang War arrived today and I am just a -touch- disappointed. It may as well have been combined with the existing rulebook but I can understand why it wasn’t. It is going to be a pain compiling all the rules together though.

To be fair, the current management might have a rather easier time of things with a forum these days.

They'll just need an auto ban for that minority who still complain about the death of WFB or those who keep demanding battletomes for armies they bought 5 years ago and haven't spent any money on since.

I'm kind of hoping that eventually, they'll compile everything together in one big book - similar to the old rules where they released the books from the box game and Outlanders together.

I have that compilation book, so I'll probably just pick up some of the new miniatures initially and stick with that - and then if they do release all the rules together as one sometime down the line, I'd pick that up.

Otherwise I'm with you - it is going to be a complete pain to have to pick up another Gang War book with every new gang release just to get the full Necromunda experience.
