Later versions (IoB) do suffer from hair loss, but not to this extent. I suppose the lack of fur makes the RO more slippery?

Griff's helmet would work with Solar Auxilia. Thought considering how tinni babby head the orks are, the scale probably wouldn't match.

I think I preferred it when they were playing a sport that just happened to feature some people who took weapons onto the field, rather than a sport where everyone was carrying a punch-dagger and wearing inch thick half-plate.

Do we need to take a week to mourn after the release of Age of the Emperor before posting about current 40k here, or just go ahead at midnight on launch day?

In real content, I am thinking about buying a Blood Bowl team from Comixininos. Any experience with them? Prices seem pretty reasonable.

It's just going to be called 8th edition, 40K is too recognizeable a name to waste.

Also, what is there to mourn? They can hardly release a shittier ruleset.

Griff with helmet. I think I prefer this version.


Yeah that just doesn't read as a rat ogre to me. Its just a normal skaven. That doesn't work.

I like Griff and may need to get one. Pretty cool shoulderpads.

I've ordered from them a few times. I get the impression it's not a full-time operation - there will be some delay between your order, and when it's actually dispatched. Delivery is pretty quick once it's out though.

GW announced some sort of new boxed game line, Underworlds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20NpoQtr9n8

No information on it yet, but supposedly it's launching with a full organised play system in place and is supposedly designed to be more competitive. Hints at some spoilers of new models over the next few days.

I wonder if that's the new Mordheim, since they also just gave more details on the new Necromunda:

Looks to be the new Necromunda, ships with 12 factions.

In the box, orks and Marine scouts.

12 factions? As in, all of them?

Not excited about the scouts (especially sniper scouts), but people are super hype about the terrain

I watched the part of the video where the GW guy talked about the box, and it's basically killteam - they're using Necromunda rules to create a GW version of Infinity-as-killteam, with 40k forces.
If I put any money into getting this at all, I'll just grab the rules (or wait for a rules review) and see what's what. My guess is that this isn't worth it and isn't a real Necromunda re-release, given that it's not going to have the gangs in it (it's set on Armageddon, during the war, involving Blood Angels and Orks, so it's pretty easy to do the math).

It has rules for Cultists and Neophyte Genestealer Hybrids. I give it two weeks between release and the Necromunda gangs having rules based on those.

Here's hoping.
The FB comment thread has them saying this game will have campaign rules, so this looks like a semi-reasonable killteam replacement (albeit one that isn't Heralds of Ruin so YMMV).

The terrain looks nice, at least. And is apparently customisable?

But honestly I can get cheap click together terrain elsewhere, so that's not exactly a dealmaker for me.

If it's £35 to £40 then it's still an absolute steal. When I move I'll start painting up terrain. The terrain isn't a huge deal for me, but I think combined with an Imperial Sector it would look really nice.

I think the price point, based on the addition of bigger scenery than was in Lost Patrol means it's more likely to be towards the £50 end of the pricing spectrum.
Lost Patrol had half the number of scouts and a similar number (give or take) of 'stealers to boyz, as well as only having cardboard hexes.
With double the number of scouts, plus some actual (and apparently very customisable) plastic terrain, I'm sure that this will be a bit more costly on the wallet.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the £50-£60 range.
But yes, you're right, £40 as a price on something like this would be fantastic, as it would mirror the old pricing for starter sets we had back when things like the Battle for Macragge box set were being sold.

Depends on how much they really want to push the game, I could see it easily reaching £60.

Hopefully they'll put out the rules and markers separately as I've no use for yet more scouts and boyz,

Gangs of Commoragh though has £70+ of models.

2 sprues of scouts and a sprue of Ork boys isn't a huge lot of models.
