xtothez posted:I wouldn't rule out Lucius pattern stuff making a return if this proves to be sufficiently popular. They said that the titan sprues were designed to be swapped out with like-for-like replacements, so they may even be able to do Lucius armour plates as an alternate sprue. I'd expect Lucius pattern as Forgeworld resin models on the side. I don't know how mutable the kits will be, but if they can just swap out the armor plates that'd be cool.

Seemed like the armor panels of the Warlord are separate from the skeleton/chassis. That leaves some room for plastic/resin upgrade kits, but I think a Lucius pattern would need to be a resin alternate sculpt. There'd be too many differences for it to be built off of the plastic kit. I could be giving the sculptors/designers not enough credit though. Maybe they'll figure out some way to design around it. This looks like a Reaver kit, but it should help illustrate what they're going for with these things:

The titans are designed with skeleton, armour and weapon frames so that individual frames can be swapped out (so you can use the skeleton for a gribbly chaos titan with new armour and weapons). We've already heard about another plastic sprue of weapons.

I am now the proud owner of a copy of Deathwatch Overkill so I need to build that and finish building my Necromunda box so I can finally play a game. One day I will have my Genestealer Cult. My friend had gone to our lgs to special order some stuff and I asked him to see if they had one on the shelf. They didn't and when he asked about it they added it to his order. It's cool though since I had some store credit. Now I have to finish redoing my laundry room so I can get my washer and dryer out of my game room and actually host games.

TTerrible posted:Why is this thread and reddit ok with this in Necros case? It seems a pretty filesy deal I’m not super OK with it and don’t do it but since you still need to buy the box set and gang boxes then it seems an acceptable compromise if it helps scenes have more players. Specialist games aren’t usually blessed with massive local scenes like 40k/AoS so I get it. Some people I’ve seen in Blood Bowl leagues don’t even own rules themselves.

SG players are all lonely and if you’ll please buy an orc BB team or Necro gang you can totally borrow our rulebooks and mom is making dinner you should hang out a little longer. Also though for the last decade or more these games have been kept alive purely by pirating the abandoned rules so I think official rulebooks have lost the sacred status that a 40k codex or 30k red/black book has.

Where I grew up, everyone had their codex, but usually only one or two owned the main 40k rules.

I have the main RB and GW1, but GW2 is a piece of poo poo that's barely €1/page and the collection is a lot better to use. Like, it's bookmarked to hell and back, so having as PDF on a tablet helps a lot. It also includes both the official and YakFAQ, which the books don't. gently caress the dead tree version.

dont forget, to get the first rulebook for nm, you need to buy the 125 buck boxed game. then if you want all the rest of the rules, you need 30 bucks each for 3 more books, and who knows how many more books theyll try to milk their customers with. $200+ is a loving absurd price to play a small scale skirmish game. even looking on ebay, the core book is going for $35, so 125 for everything thus far. oh, dont forget the card packs for another 15 smacks! one book for 50 bucks that has everything would be reasonable. their pricing model is hosed as per usual

I think most reasonable people compare it to the last release of Necromunda which was a single all inclusive book. I think some of the Outlander stuff wasn't in it (like Chaos?), but it had all the gangs with models, rules, campaigns, etc. Was that also released for free as a PDF? I know for sure it was a retail product at one point.

On the subject of the Necro rules, do you get double copies of the neutral gang tactics in the card expansions like you do in the main box?

A Shadowar campaig started at the FLGS. I pit my Long Range Underhive Group (Cadians) vs. Blood Axes in two games. In the first one, my 10 dudes vs. 6 orks only managed to take down 1 ork: I started forst and my sniper shot up his big shoota spanner... eventually. My flamer got chopped up, my Plasma failed to hit, I rolled a poo poo ton of 2's on 3-to-hit-re-roll-1s shots, and generally did not manage to get through ork's armor. Ended up with a frenzied Plasma and Flamer, but Sniper and Sarge ended up being T4. I know realized we did the post match injuries wrong. So I bought tox rounds and clip for sniper, hot-shot and carapace for two vets. Next have, Scavengers. I only lost two dudes before bottling. Notable achievements: Guardsman manages a 7+ shot to wound his Nob, a Vet shoots down an ork in one round, Sniper fails to do much with tox rounds before his ammo gets nommed by a monster, Carapace vet fails to take down a Yuf in CC (Yuff rolled two 6+ saves), orks do a lot of falling down in general. Bottled voluntarily with two down. A downed Vet managed to get Hip shooting, a carapace vet got Frenzied... and sniper is now A2. Red dots all around, and the talented guardsman gets a frag grenade. Loads better than regular 40k.

I can't believe they don't sell the Necromunda rulebook by itself. Between that and how poorly they've handled 30k lately, I thing Game Workshop proper needs to have a long conversation with Forgeworld about how to sell and support games

I would rephrase that to everyone who knows how to get poo poo done/can digitally sculpt has jumped to specialist. Forgeworld are fairly short handed now, while it seems like specialist are releasing a new book/plastic set every month.
