The skull pack is really good will definitely buy this for use with my skeletons

[nic-e]

I'm wondering if the new skull set might be a good source of replacement heads for my old plastic skellies. Though the original heads are part of the charm, a bit more variety wouldn't go amiss. I doubt I'd want to mix the originals with these new ones though.

Mixing in newer GW plastic skellies wouldn't look so out of place as well.

If I had the Vampire Counts/ Tomb Kings skellies I would definitely use these new skulls. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Citadel-Skulls-2017

I was thinking if the bird skulls from this box could be a good way to add some variety to skeletons , sort of like undead beastmen/tzaangors .

A couple of the large horned skulls might work nicely on a skellie horse.

I really like it!

Can you not imagine it with a red and gold/brass colour scheme, with someone to a similar name of Glash Fordon flying it? Actually the black makes it look as if it's out of the old B/W Flash Gordon programmes....but at 85 squid though.....

Flash Gordon or even maybe Dune? It has that mechanical worm look!

Good call 

Almost good enough to make me buy it

I keep looking at it for 15mm as a massive drop ship type thing - I like a science fantasy vibe to my Sci Fi and this looks like it'd be grand to deliver an evil group of baddies.

Personally I love it...but in a Pulpish-sort of way. Looks like something a Pulp-Era Batman could use 

I can see it being used in a Judge Dreddesque-setting. Like the design, the price not so much.

Future releases in the Wrath & Glory line feature campaigns that revolve around distinct elements of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, each campaign focusing on a different experience."


Sounds like it could be fun. I like pool systems, And I really like GWs new pattern of partnering with smaller but well regarded companies. spreading their third party support to multiple parties that can dedicate more time to it rather than just handing it over warts and all to FFG could be one of the best things for their third party IP.

By the sounds of it the rules have been updated too. No movement, shooting etc phases. Good!

Getting happier with GW al the time...  a weird (and somewhat nostalgic) feeling

Let's now jus hope that GW won't "miscalculate" demand, if a starter box will come out, or pull that limits stunt that they did with Shadow War once more....

My wallet though, is less happy, and sincerily hopes that other rumours such as a rerelease of dark future will be proven untrue and also that there will be no further warhammer quest, horus heresy or other skirmish game boxes (it already sort of accepted necromunda and shadesspire and reserves have been built up)....

[nic-e]

Well my Facebook, instagram and snapchat are all just flooded with necromunda hype. Dakka dakka has since more  rules into and unpaid plastic pics.
Release is October.

I'm starting to feel bad for other companies that try to announce things ahead of release. Every time you think games workshop are going to have a quiet period between big releases they drop some news about an upcoming big release and suddenly a large amount of potential hobby money is all but thrown their way.

[Gibby]

Man, GW are really doing awesome stuff now. I am pretty damn excited for this. Post-Apoc/2000AD fans should be too; multipart plastic gangers!

Fingers crossed for my old Ratskin buddies returning!
