Ha, well, it certainly wasn't a couple of quid. But it wasn't any more quid than if I'd bought the bits, built the conversion, and paid a pro painter to paint it.

I could see Forgeworld possibly putting out a Bull Gorg type add-on character in the future, actually. He's a famous enough Necromunda character. I've no idea if he's appeared in the endless series of faction books. But I guess we'll have to see if GW ever return to a focus on the underhive after the shift to the Ash Waste setting.

Yeah. Looks like they are moving away from the hive for the time being. Bull Gorg was my favourite fluff from the original rulebooks.

Ash Wastes box is better than that preview mini suggested, I'd say. The giant flea riders are great!

OK… this has me stunned. GW has made some things I really like this time. Fair play to them. It is a shame I still hate their business practices but I have to give credit where credit is due. The buildings look great, the flea riders look awesome, the buggies are kind of neat. But I also suspect it will all be more expensive than I would want to pay.

yup, like that box - I'm not too bothered about the minis BUT the terrain is very neat.

I am very impressed by the horus heresy cinematic trailer - very shiny.

True, too true. It does look very nice though.

The other thing announced at Adepticon that caught my eye was the new box of Mark VI armour Marines (Beakies) for Horus Heresy.

They are more the scale of modern 40k so won't mix in with the RTB01 Marines, but still it's a welcome addition.

The better joke would be if they announced on April 1st but it turned out to be true.

Considering how well Space Dwarfs sell for other companies I would not be surprised by their return.

Unless they're doing a multi-day April Fool, they claim they are back
