Speaking of Necromunda. The new Orlocks look great

Like the new Orlocks - especially the ones looking like a cross between old orlocks and the Confrontation Maniacs.

But those new scum from forgeworld..... 

[Gibby]

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!

They're definitely becoming a different beast! Glad to hear the game is great! Have resisted... thus far

[Elbows]

Like the new Orlock figures, but as I see it's coming with yet another book...if this becomes a thing for each gang, I'll be passing on the new Necromunda.  No interest in buying a $30 book for each separate gang.  This kind of drawn out trickle of DLC which arguably should be in the main box/book is a huge turn off for me.

I'll more than likely pick up the gangs and play the old game.

I received the game and ordered Gang War off the back of it. I’m impressed so far. Built a couple of the gangers and really like the models. Almost nervous to paint them as there’s a lot of detail! Great mileage in the sprues for generic post-apocalyptic gangers as well, and the nice and simple industrial bases are a bonus.

The FW hive scum look great but given that they’ll inevitably be around the £20 mark, I’ll just cut the stars off some of the myriad Chaos Cultists I have

Look at Duncan videos pn painting them.
He make it look simple but his proposed techniques really let anyone paint those guys to satisfactory level (although with a surprisingly high number of gw paints but some of the sets he use are totally worth it - i switched to GW skin formula after watching him)

I will snap and take the FW Gor but I am waiting pricing of FW gang upgrade set with breathless anticipation..


And if anyone hasn't seen them: Orlocks



And scumers

I was very disappointed to see a considerable lack of bandannas.

I was very disappointed to see a considerable lack of bandannas.

I honestly misread that at first as lack of bananas :O

Not liking the Orlocks or Scummers though, give me more Beastmen dammit hehe

I really like the new Orlocks. I always thought the original models were the dullest looking of the whole Necromunda range. Just a bland 80's movie street gang. The new ones whilst still having a generic gang look are much nicer.

[AWu]

They will still be dulest but I like those guys.. 

Original Orlocs were almost conversions of metal Catachans of the time..
I did not hate them because they were unable to  rise any hot feelings in me.
But they grew on my later.

Those I like from the beginning.
They don't tempt me to start Orlock gang but to fill ranks of many different love life scum of the galaxy, criminal elements, heretics, militias and such.
Grat base models for really anything. I hope that Delaque will make similar but coated.

[FionaWhite]

Out of the all the Necromunda stuff I've ever seen, I've only ever felt like getting a single model and knowing this
new stuff'd be off-scale ain't making me want more. 

I honestly misread that at first as lack of bananas :O

In the grim darkness of the far future, bananas are in short supply...

[Dr Mathias]

Out of the all the Necromunda stuff I've ever seen, I've only ever felt like getting a single model <snip>

Which one?

[Grimmnar]

I always thought the original models were the dullest looking of the whole Necromunda range.

You thought this over the original Goliaths?

To be honest when I was typing it I was thinking about bananas

They are very nice looking models but the "bananas" really tied them together as a gang. I guess these guys have shoulder pads in common but they just don't look like Orlocks to me.
