If anyone want to get his hands on one of the best tanks never produced by GW, there's a KS doing the rounds:

I had one some years ago. Full resin kit, bigger than a standard Leman Russ, smaller than a Baneblade, ideal for IG players who want something different.

Regardless, it's obviously a "not" Macharius tank.  Incredibly obvious, lol.  Good for them if they can shift them without being sued.

Judging by what I have seen of the new Necromunda GW have realised that there aren't a great many manicured lawns in the hive of hives.

Any comparisons shots of the new 'Munda minis with older 'Munda ones and maybe with Primaris marines out there yet?

Funnily enough, when they release Arbites it would be a superb scenario.  A techno-Medici style house being raided by an angry gang (who somehow penetrated the upper strata of the Hive).  A special scenario on a very pristine "Upper crust" Imperium board would be very cool.  Arbites being called in (perhaps overly ornate Arbites because they're receiving payoffs...).

There.  You can have your manicured lawns. :D

Rules for Forge world Beatman Bounty Hunter

This guy again

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/PDF/Downloads/Gor-Half-horn-download-combined.pdf


Looks fun but he is expensive. We know nothing about cost of hiring him in campaign yet :(

Cool that rules are free, but I hoped we will get his card in the box with him!

I really am trying to like that beastman model, the old one was one of my favourites, but the plasma pistol looks a bit clunky and not like a plasma pistol and, I hate to say it.....he seems to have ca-ankles! :?

The old one was kinda delicate looking, but this one....it seems they got to the legs and got bored! “Oh, I’ll just stick on some armour plates to save me doing any detail!”

It would be good if they upped their game with this idea. What about a beastman style gang? An armoured Centaur, a heavy weapon Minotaur or just different animal types. What about a lion commander/gang leader model?

Uh, to be honest the gun on the Bounty hunter Beastman reminds me more of a hairdryer..

Maybe its a plasma hairdryer with high setting for melting things, low for hair. Drying.

He is a Beastman.. so maybe he needs it to be Multi-function...

Just has to remember to be careful with his settings selection.

Dial on the side :

- Dry
- Fluff dry
- Ranged plasma burst

I find their latest offerings to busy or cluttered looking?
And to big awkward looking remind me of the Wild West exodus stuff which I don't like for same reasons.
