While it looks pretty good, god drat that pricing is absurd. £18 can almost get you a full team of regular players. FW need to stop buying into their own hype, resin is not the 'premium' material is was once seen as and certainly isn't worth paying a large markup for the inevitable issues of having to get replacement parts or bending bits back into the right shape due to FW's lousy QC.

£20 is shockingly reasonable for an Ogre character considering the other stars are £18 and main GW's Ogre characters are £23. Tempted to pick him up as a replacement leader for my ex-BB team Ogre unit in my DOW army.

New BB Ogre is up for preorder, at a shockingly reasonable £12 - https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Blood-Bowl-Ogre (or £9 from Asgard this weekend - http://www.asgardwargames.co.uk/pre-orders/games-workshop/ ) Also the humans, but they're just the ones from the main box in grey plastic.

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,

Those Goliaths are looking good! At the very least I suppose you can represent most of the Necromunda gangs in Shadow War with other units like Cultists or IG or whatever. Thundercloud posted:Gangs of Commoragh though has £70+ of models. £15.50 per scout squad, £18 for the Orks = £49. Terrain is tougher as it's new stuff, though I'd ballpark it at roughly one of the COD Buildings plus the battlefield accessories for scatter, so £30-ish if released separately? Could be way out here though, I'm not sure how much of what's pictured in the article actually comes with it..

The Malthusian posted:Scratching my head at trying to launch with 12 gangs--way more than NM ever had, and most of those were different skill lists on baseline humans. Also, hope everyone is pumped for a 25 year old rule set from a company that's not known for keeping up with modern design. NM had at least 12 gangs across it's life (6 main houses, spyrers, ratskins, redemptionists, skavvies, enforcers, ash nomads, I'm probably forgetting more). True half of them were the same but with different skill lists, but it seems feasible for the new game.

The Sex Cannon posted:I don't like the "pitcher" troll that GW sells for Orc or Goblin BB teams. What is the next best thing to do if I want to make a 2-troll Goblin team? Has anyone converted those sweet River Trolls (or whatever the gently caress they're called now)? Yeah, River Trolls work pretty well. You can keep it simple and just nail shoulder pads and a backplate on, or go whole 'ham and add a helmet and stuff.

New info about the new Goblin special weapons: In short they get Doom Divers (who presumably are better at being thrown) and 'Ooligans who run around being popular with the fans and distracting opponents. I was half right with my guess (Doom Diver and Sneakey Stabba) but the Black Gobbo does Stab at least...

Talking of Blood Bowl, I painted up a friend's converted Orc team as a belated birthday gift (the main delay was him deciding which team he wanted me to paint, he's mental for Blood Bowl and has loads of them!): Was a lot of fun painting these guys and I hope they bring him luck on the field

Cheers! The troll is the plastic GW river troll, converted with a couple of black orc shields for shoulder pads. It's the most recent addition (he used the other two from the box on his newer Goblin team). These guys work really well for Blood Bowl, pretty much all you have to do is cut weapons off and they're fine.

Less 'legacy' models (though there are some of those like the las/plas razorback and power fists on ancients), more that it's the removal of wargear/weapon options that have been available in codices for decades but GW never got around to making models for, e.g. twin heavy bolter arms for dreads, characters on bikes, standard bearers with anything other than their default equipment, etc.

To me it looks like the custom dice are a) sustained fire dice (the ones with the burst marks) and b) status dice (the others, for tracking pins/downs/overwatch/ etc.), so it's hardly likely you'd need to buy a ton of them. Note that I imagine the scatter dice also qualify as custom since only 30k uses them any more out of GW's other games.

I guess the main issue is whether they release the rulebook separately. They didn't with BB but that game features a lot of stuff necessary to play it (pitches and range ruler mainly) - in Necromunda it's easy enough to get by with existing stuff (templates look to be the same ones from 3-7th ed 40k and most games clubs will have loads, the special dice look to be easily replaced by a chart, etc.).

I think the main reason 3rd ed didn't go over too well was that WFRP fans were very tied to their precious D100% system. 3rd ed was actually kinda neat if a little clunky (it was FFG's first major experiment with new games systems).

GW have been demoing Necromunda at Spiel, it seems to play pretty well though Goliaths seemed to have a big advantage due to their melee builds. That may just be an issue with the demo rules they were using which ignored some skills etc. Apparently they're aiming at around 6 gangers per side for an average game and the spruced have multiple weapon options for the figures.

Hell, it's not even as if they needed to include fancy 3d terrain in the main box. Just throw in Gang War as an 'Advanced Rules' book like in the old WHQ set and you're done.

bonds0097 posted:I'm confused, doesn't the big box come with the cards and dice for the 2 gangs? I assumed the box plus gang war got you everything that will exist at release time. The main box has a handful of cards, 4 for each gang plus 20 generics. The individual sets have 8 specific to the gang plus 12 generics (and spare stat cards with gang crests for custom gangers). I don't know how much overlap there is between the base box cards and the specific sets. And yeah the main box has dice, but the Gang dice are in alternative colours with House symbols on the D6s

GW have started previewing the next wave of Necromunda stuff. Gang War 2 has Orlocks and Hive Scum plus new terrain tiles. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/11/25/all-the-latest-from-the-warhammer-40000-open-day-nov-25gw-homepage-post-1/ Apparently the new Orlocks are Anime fans.

mcjomar posted:And as a minor tangent - has anyone played Osprey's Scrappers game? If so, what's it like (good, bad, etc)? I have, once. It's a lot more in-depth than Necro due to the traits system (nowhere near as bad as Rogue Stars though) and some of the rules felt a bit clunky (like derived stats for close combat requiring you to make a pool of D10s, etc.) but overall I had fun with it.
