I've been playing this as a gateway drug for my friends to get into Necromunda! I got a set of SW:A and the terrain is fantastic. I want like three more boxes though for terrain.

I won't be hyped if sisters & inquisition are only available in a £40 rule book rather than free pdfs

 

[athetrichy]

Ahh, I agree... I'm not a fan of huge paywalls.

Speaking of hard-copies:
I'll make a separate thread for this later, but I would like a printed (preferably spiral-bound) NCE Rulebook and Outlanders too. Has anyone used a printing service that they were particularly happy with?

I'm pretty psyched about this.
Didn't get the boxed set (nice, but I don't need terrain, orks or marines) and I'm willing to shell out the cash for one rulebook with all the profiles I'll need.

Would be my first purchase of new GW product in about 6 years!

They're going to release the SoB and =][= teams as pdfs aswell.

Then I'm getting hyped!! Love a bit of =][=

The book goes on pre-order on the 22 I believe, at which point the pfds are likely to be available too.

It'll be interesting to see what they can take as troopers and spec ops

I just want to field my Inquisitor, Inquisitor deCobray from the Ordo Xenos.

 

[EOD448]

Ditto, how ever mine needs finishing first!

It will be interesting to see how they handle Inquisition forces...

So far we've seen they have tried to stick to a single troop box (or 2 in the case of eldar) for the kill teams. Weapon options have been sadly limited to what is on the sprue.

So with no plastics to base the equipment on, I wonder what they will do? Base it in the metals? Base it on the latest codex (no idea what that contains)?

 

[EOD448]

I'm guessing - leader-interrogator
Troops -veteran acolytes
Recruits - acolytes
Spec. - acolyte Gunner or servitors
Spec ops- death cult assassin, crusader, sanctioned psyker & deamonhost

^ I feel like EOD448 called it correctly, but, man, I hope they can make it more flavorful than that.

I know a few people use Doxzoo.

Have a look at this Instagram for an idea of quality.

They do a lot of types of prints, better prices if you can get a few people to order with you.

I'm not affiliated in any way with them or the Instagram user. Mod this post away if it contravenes any site rules.

 

[athetrichy]

^ That's exactly what I'm looking for. The quality looks almost too nice! Haha, I was expecting something like regular home-laser-printer quality.

I would absolutely buy NCE versions printed like this, why not at a premium to support the website! Call me oldfashioned, but I like to have a deadtree version of a book to read it, especially when playing with miniatures.

They have updated the free PDF of all the 'Other' Kill teams to now include the Sisters and Inq. kill teams for SW:A. Still do not have access to the Scouts, Guard and Ork lists however.

Inquisition is Ordos Xenos. Is has a fair bit of weapon options, but all the cool stuff is reserved for Spec Ops, like most lists. Also, what is with the crusader taking the specialist slot? And what is with the troopers having access to special weapons... and then restricting all those except storm bolts to the inquisitor? Is there a precedent for inquisitorial henchmen using storm bolters that I don't know about?

Seems like not a lot of thought went into this, you can't take more than crusaders with carapace, so inquisitorial storm troopers are out. But the should be fairly easy to represent most kit bashed inquisitor types with this I guess.

I agree, I was hoping this was my way into SW:A with a inquisition kill team that could cross over to INQmunda and INQ28, but this list is lacklustre, with hardly any room for cool fluff. It's just designed to be use with the very few inquisition minis that GW produces. I won't be making a list from this boring frame work.

I would say I'm disappointed but I had a feeling it'd be like this. Crusaders as specials was a bit of a surprise though.
