Makes one wish that head was available as a separate piece.

Re: Sly Marbo -

1) The arm muscles are so grotesquely over-developed, he can literally no longer straighten his arms fully!

2) Spot the 'Audrey II' on the base.

Nice to see Cigars are still a big thing in the 41st Millennium.

[Elbows]

Yeah, not understanding the Little Shop of Horrors addition there...but whatever.

Hehehe, I was thinking the same. I need to make some cigar crate terrain now

Just a little easter-egg death world plant. The very name 'Marbo' sort of puts the whole concept into joke land anyway.

Funny, I painted a Rogue Trader era mercenary today and his arms were about the same- an anatomical mess

Looks like I'll need the get the Dec. White Dwarf for genestealer rules in Sapce Hulk though

[stone-cold-lead]

I made this earlier...

Now we just need a froggy head.

*clears throat*
OHMYGODSLYMARBO!NEWCATACHANSCULPT!HOOKITINTOMYVEINS!!

Ahem...
Anyway.

The anatomy is ridiculous ,but he's a CATACHAN! they're meant to be ridiculous.The old plastic were horendous but I bloody love them.This guy just oozez character. I can almost hear him growling "hey bub,eat this" before punching a commissar in the face.

An easy build dreadnought is nice.I liek the dreadnought model but don't want to spend £40 on something I mostly want to convert, so this is a nice option.
The Angel primaris are nice, will be good bases to build some cool characters from.

GW are really on a roll in my eyes lately and I get a nice big paycheck soon,this could be worrisome.

That’s the thing that turned this from a “maybe buy” to a “must buy” for me!

What with the rise of vaping, perhaps Sam Slade's robot 'Stogie' isn't so ridiculous after all!

[Chico]

Becoming a big fan of all the easy build clip together stuff, the lower pricepoint is much closer to what I can pay/willing to pay for new toys, plus I'll end up converting them anyway so it doesn't matter too much if they all look alike in the same box.

Hell we all grew up chopping up lead and metal figures so single piece plastics ain't much harder.

[Skyven]

Necromunda Underhive arrived from Dark Sphere (Yeah!). Checked all the contents are there (have had three GW boxes this year with bits missing, so was being a bit paranoid). Now in pile to wrap up for Christmas to stop me going back and fiddling with all the goodies (Boo!). Dice, Gang War and extra bases due to arrive tomorrow (more Yeah!)

What is the current consensus over White Dwarf? Is it worth a subscription?

[Dr Mathias]

I look back on some of the conversions I pulled off, old super chunky metal figures, using only an Xacto knife, and I’m amazed I didn’t cut off an entire finger.

Had a chance to read Gang War today...
And IMHO that game is much improved over 1st edition..
Genuinely its better game.. :O
Gangers have simplified advancement yes- but that means they advance almost like in 1st edition.. yep - its called simplified advance now.. (and have Lads got talent advancing to a specialist on 2 and 12)
Leader, champions, juves and specialist (new hero ganger that is normal ganger but advances like one of the heroes and can be upgraded to full champion)
buy what they want paying for each advancement various number of points - obviously Wounds more than WIllpower..
You have full control <3
Skills have 3 broad categories.
Primary - you chose skill
Secondary - you roll random skill
and any skill (roll random but cost much more)
Number of deaths will be much reduced - another great thing.. you can try to heal almost dead guys and only one result on D66 result in certain death
This is all I wanted from experience system..
My only problem is artificial abridgement of the rules..
There is just no sensible reason beyond silly marketing to not print rules for all common weapons in thet book..
Ad mine gripe is not with that GW want to more money.. its bacause its badly and stupidly done..
Until then we have
https://necromunda.com/…/ENG_Necromunda_Gangs_Of_Legend_Dow…
But Overall.. WOW.. I did not expected that GW - the Moloch the Evill corporation the guys that killed Warhammer blah blah blah
can make my favorite game so much better than it was in 1995 :O
But they did it!

I slowed my response to Necromunda.  I'd planned to go all in but some other projects caught my fancy and I kiboshed it for the now;  I didn't make any terrain leading up to the release so I didn't earn it yet anyway .  Thanks AWu for your opinion on the Gang War release.  I am interested from what you wrote and will get around to it eventually.
