ANd why bother with new system if Necromunda is very good indeed (it has some problems but core is very playable and works).

This. If they focussed a bit instead of producing three (four?) self competing games... The tantalising prospect of a necro ruleset with some actual editing in a complete volume. Sigh.

[The Voivod]

Or combine it.

I would love my delaques having to fight a smaller *insert chaos/xenos* incursion.

Still haven't played origional Kill-team, but that's on me. It seemed like a good excuse for some light 40k gaming, but nothing spectacular.
I'll probably get into this eventually. It looks tempting. And I sure have plenty of models to play it.

I was excited by kill team to start with.
but then my GW skepticism came back...
will I still need to buy a dozen codex and index and download countless PDF to only use a dozen miniatures?
will it be as much a shambles as necromunda was and still is? I don't want to buy a Kill War Team book every 2 or 3 months for the privilege of using my toys.
is it going to be mutilated and all the fun and joy sucked out by the community like 8th edition 40k?

ugh...I can't get excited anymore after 10yrs of bitter disappointment.

[Lost Egg]

I know what you mean...I think I have been fighting my disappointment with GW since 2nd ed

I can at least confirm that the rulebook has all the rules you need for the first 16 factions as mentioned in the Kill Team FAQ. However, they are releasing faction specific Tactic cards in each of the Kill Team starters.

[Derek H]

But will the rules on the tactic cards be available elsewhere? 

[AWu]

If tactics are that snippets they post for each band with command points - it is possible.

With Necromunda cards GW even dont provide card list for any product they sell.. not to mention rules on them..
They are all fanmade

Some new "made to order" entries up - link

Got to say, I don't remember many of them, which surprises me slightly. Mix of metal, plastic and resin

Also a bunch of Stormcast stuff up for pre-order - link

I do like Astreia Solbright, Lord-Arcanum. However, it's a 90mm oval base, which means it looks like the figure is over 90mm tall

[AWu]

Not much to me but I might get AoS entry leaflet with new Stormcast for Ł5.

Probably will pick her up one day (loving the female stormcast), but I would definitely put something else in her right hand, probably an axe.

I like the look of the undead lord on the throne. I'd be tempted to turn it into a palanquin though.

Something new to Munda at last

Cawdor we have seen - now clean of paint.

But new cards set for campaign looks interesting.


Although I hope rules are included in the GW IV (we dont know anything about what it contains apart from 3 pages of Cawdor rules..

In the other news they also shown new LOTR set (Rohirrim and army of the dead vs Mordor) and Blood Bowl cheerleaders for 4 or 5 teams.

I used to have Gorbad, Zacharius, and of course Grom back when I played.

The night haunt flugelhorn trio is something I WANT to like... but I just CAN’T.

I feel sad when I think of Warhammer ... I loved 4th through 8th ... but just can’t seem to get back to where I once belonged. Get back, JoJo.

[Vladimir Raukov]

I have to admit, I was salty about AoS for a long while, but with the new stuff coming out (particularly the fact that your army doesn't go into a mass panic if your general dies) I might have a look at it. The $55 starter set isn't too bad and I might even get some use out of the stormcast guy that comes with the $14 book.

Then again, with the lancing that Bretonnians got (their warscrolls honestly don't seem that bad to me) my usually gaming friend won't dive in with me, so odds are I wouldn't get much use out of them at all. Not like I've got money to burn right now, anyways.

My regular opponent back in 5th (pre dark ages and internet  ) was a Bret player; her regularly spanked my lizardmen.

Down with Bretonnia
