In a surprising non-poo poo, actual SG post, here's a Necromunda and Gang War unboxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTZPuJWaDuE

EDIT: No old NM gangs included with either, so if you don't like Escher or Goliaths, you're out of luck for the time being.

EDIT: I think the old gangs are going to be released via PDF, unless I'm remembering incorrectly. It's been a long year of rumors so I could very well be off.

The bases are the same and you have no idea what the rules are for the new game coming out (emphasis on New Game), but I'm sure if someone is neckbeard enough to just insist on using miniatures from a dead game from 1988 in a new game in 2017 then they can make it work with the bases.

Also, knock that poo poo off. Aesthetics are subjective, but you know drat well that he meant the new one is technically superior in sculpting and casting than poo poo made decades ago. Just because you don't like the aesthetic of something doesn't mean you can't have a rational, objective discussion about whether one is a superior product in the technical sense.

This Death Thread bullshit is tiresome. Being constructively critical of something you're involved in is cool and good, but threadshitting about anything you can find to get offended about is not. There's several companies I boycott, I've never once considered even reading a thread about products they make, much less posting about them.


Thank you for not only posting actual content, but posting awesome content at that. The box contents all look badass, especially for the price at $125 MSRP, meaning you'll be able to snag it for about $100 online.

Awesome - I'm the only one playing either Escher or Goliaths, so we were going to have a few pissed off guys in our group...

EDIT: Gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxGWIcTGKJs (I haven't watched this yet, so I don't know if it's worthwhile.)

I skipped 100 posts of people complaining about GW and about people comlaining. Did we actually find out anything new for NM or another game, besides the video above?

I tried putting mordor shadow of war into my PSX and it doesn't work! How dare sony stop supporting my 20+ year old video game console! They are causing ill will among their fanbase by updating the console model, causing consumers to buy consoles all over again from scratch!

Just let it go or piss off to the death thread or something. Please. This derail is asinine.

So in this analogy, the console is the rules, and the games are the miniatures.

sorry im not gonna put a lot of effort into an argument when its presented as "thing x looks like poo poo, im glad its going away"

doesnt matter if its a no effort shitpost or a long winded sincere argument, it will only be met with mocking and derision by the nu gw fanclub

quote:

Andy Hoare:

Project manager,
Specialist Games Team of seven - started last year with Blood Bowl.
They were working on Necromunda since a long time.
Favorite game of Andy, still plays it.
When all the plastic terrain was ready he asked his boss to do a new Necromunda and they said Yes!
They are talking about Underhive no the 3D campaign today - next week is about the Supplement book.

Background:
First version was Confrontation in WD.
Then 1995 classic boxset, played since then.
Revisited in 2000 by the old fanatic studio.
Dedicated groups are still playing the old version today.
Andy Hoare group plays it, house rules it, amends it, created new stuff.

Models:
Duplicate sprues but 10 different models can be made!
2 for each gang.
Objectives and tentacle sprue,
traps (used with gang tactic cards)
Priority marker.
Hatches and doors: designed to fit with zone mortalis and other FW scenery.
Rules book: you need it, even if you want to do 3D only. Underhive is a complete game.
9 tiles same size as Zone Mortalis tiles.

Andy says:
They played Necromunda so much on mortalis that the 2D tiles weren't a compromise.
Beta tester really liked the game in 2D, and it didn’t felt like a starter set used to learn the game.
Even if you see square on the tiles you still use inches in game, so it’s really necromunda on tiles.

Punch counter:
-Ready and pinned counter are recto verso
-Pre generated gangs are on cards to get started super fast.
-Fire is back in the game,
-You can go prone and remove fire.
-Vision arcs: because models have facing (like warmachine)
-place a duct between walls to go through it - you can even launch a grenade, fire through it etc.
-Lot of skills allow you to by pass overwatch, backstab ppl.

Custom dice:
-2 sets
-Gang specific dice. (adding pics soon)

Cards:
22 blank cards
Are already laminated !!!! so you can erase
Gang tactics: Generics, esher, goliath. Future gang will get future cards.
They have extra set of gang tactics cards ready to sell, not the same in the box, they are extension cards.

Differentiation:
Andy Hoare plays rogue trader all the time !! so he added the old stat (int and all) to grant a lot of different options/
Stat line of different gangs set them apart and with gangs tactic’s they play really different.

Zone Mortalis bases, designed to match the tiles of the boards but also with details of mechanicus
terrain.

Book:
Can’t buy the rulebook on it’s own. Because dice needed, but good values.

LEGACY RULES:
PDF on the web site, live on the game release date, for orlock, van sar, etc.. but only for the weapons the original metal models got. So don’t get too hyped.

Future
Orlocks are next year.
One plastic team every quarter +possible few wd, pdf article.
Brand new gangs are hyped.
John blanche made a book a of 80pages of fluff but the book went missing. And then new archivist of GW TIM found this book for andy. SO LOT OF inspiration.
Box set available in: eng, fren, german.
They have stock of the box - don't be scared, you should get your box if you pre-order.

/////////////
Rules:
Total rewrite of the rules for underhive. Gang war 3D, is built on the underhive rule set.
It’s a "I go, you go": “interleave turn” system. So you can active more than 1 models (no details on how).

Gang tactics:
All scenario use them in a different way : choose, drawn at random, weak side can draw more or choose. There is a lot of granularity with these.

Dice:
Fire power dice : Each time you roll to hit, you roll 1+ fire power dice (depending on the weapon). Work as a sustained fire dice and ammo dice.

Red tiles: The box is a necromunda loading dock. It’s a training room at start and will be used for multiplayers 3+ (pit fight style) or future scenario.

Lvl up:
Gangs are more than the 15 players you used to have in necromunda classic.
Now you can select a crew before each scenario.
Specialist, juvie and champion get skills, gangers can’t but can be promoted to champ or specialist.
Rules for juvie will be in gangs war book, with a lot of importance. If the juvie survive a few games it became the star of the gang(no more details but lot of hype around the juvie.)

WW preparing a map of underspire in 3D.

Gang war games use a 4by4 size table.

Support class: doc, ratling cook, ….(4 planned)
FW upgrade are already on the way to new weapons, iconic item …
House weapons blitzer will be made with rules to them !
They want to make rules for everything possible to allow kitbashing a goliath with a driller !
Champions are the new heavy !

Genestealer and Chaos Cults will get rules down the line. Maybe quite early via online or WD!!
All the Genestealer Cult weapons are usable by all other gangs too, so have fun kit-bashing stuff!

Zone Mortalis board integration just seems bizarre, tho.

Galaspar posted:

Mostly great news, except I've just painted up an orlock leader with a plasma pistol. That wasn't an option they made in metal, so guess he'll be on the bench for now.

Shadin posted:

Ah yes, we're all the ones shitposting and you can't post anything worth reading because us in the "nu gw fanclub" will just mock poor little you and deride your amazing content filled posting.

I played another league game of BB, versus Frobbe this time. After restarting the game because accidentally fat-fingered my way into wasting all my team's gold we got off to an interesting start.

My Chaos against his Skaven. He had a Rat Ogre and I'd rented a Minotaur using petty cash. I chose to take the offensive and immediately kick-off gave Frobbe a free turn. My plan in ruins I had visions of being thrashed. However, things took a turn for the Nuffle. Straight away both of our big'uns managed to get themselves taken off the field, leaving me free to punch rats. A ridiculous number of Attacker Down and Both Down rolls came through for both sides, and every time Frobbe threatened to break clear a turnover would occur. Summed up best by one of his guys going Attacker Down, then again on the re-roll and dying.

I managed to scrape a 1-0 victory but that was a tense, and absurd game.
