*must buy a grimdark tractor*

back when I bought White Dwarf (so 15-20 years ago) there was a great little article about an abandoned dig site - I think it's when they were creating the first stirrings of Necrons via GorkaMorka maybe, and I've always wanted to recreate it. Seems like they've done half the work for me!


edit: hahahahahahaha red fire extinguisher, good to know that particular element of culture has survived 38,000 years.

This it ?

That was a pretty cool setup.

I've been planning an Imperial excavation site, basically an old cathedral. The crane would be good for that.

Hey hey hey hey hey hey!

I tried zooming in and counted only about 2-3 skulls per machine. What is this madness?

Just ordered one in from local games store

And those that are there should be easy enough to hide.
Something must be very wrong indeed!

There is a pic in that link with miniatures around it. Not small at all, dear chap.

Yes, you're right. Makes it even better value for the money. GW's on fire these days  .

The Grombindal figure was up for pre-order - £17.50 resin - https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Grombrindal-40-years-of-White-Dwarf-2017

Clicked on it, and already out of stock

It's got the "email me" thing, which I think someone here said meant it would come back into stock. I've clicked that, but whether or not anything comes of it is anyone's guess.

So, yeah, they're improving, but some parts of the company have still not received the memo

This months white dwarf has a big two page spread for Age of Sigmar:Skirmish.

My hope is that since GW have been bringing alot of fan created content into the fold and making it official, they will have given the author of hinterlands a good deal and made it into their official skirmish supplement.

Either way i'm excited to see what they do with it.

YES! Thanks - great seeing that again. 'civilian' elements were a revelation to my tiny mind back then!

The same happened with the Mechanicus haulers, the first production wave is already sold out. But yes, they said in their official FB page that when it has the "email me" button that means they'll do another run.

I MUST have them!
 

OK, GW, you win.....

I've been wondering what to do with a certain someone's desert scavenger figures, and I reckon they'll go perfectly with those GW vehicles as a backwater AdMech scavenger/archaeology/repair team.  All rust and dust!

Archaeology most be the most dangerous job in the 40k universe - everything you dig up is higher-tech, better-armed and smarter than you.  I can see the Children of the Sands getting into a few scrapes along the way!

It seems that great minds think alike.
 

Although those vehicle should also go very well with the People of the Sands painted in AdMech colours and something else planned.

I too like to live dangerously... 

[Major_Gilbear]

Seeing that picture reminds me of the nods in GorkaMorka that the planet they're all marooned on is actually a Necron tomb world!

[Daeothar]

Exactly! 

I've always found it a shame that the demise/fade-out of Gorkamorka never provided the opportunity to explore that (sic) deeper. The Diggas supposedly had stumbled upon some archeotech already, if I recall correctly.

I would have loved to play my 2nd ed Necrons in such a setting. I even have the Skullz necron Autopsy Table, dressed up to be part of an Adeptus mechanicus camp, as an onbjective marker for them...

But perhaps the Necron profiles for Shadow War will finally give me that oportunity. So here's to hoping a future expansion for SW:A will include vehicle rules!
