New models incoming

The lack of a Warrior Priest model sucks... Mebbe they'll make a new one for Cities of Sigmar.
I just converted one from the legs of a flagelant, chest of a regular trooper. Sculpted hammers with comets on them and gave him one of the balder heads in the flagelant kit. I'm pretty happy with the model. He looks like a priest who has seen the worst in humanity. So yeah I priest that went to mordheim

The flagellants kit is such a great box for conversions - necromunda/40k too.
 
WGA Cannon Fodder 2 (females)


Shipping next week in the US it seems, though won't reach UK/EU until next month. I've just started on Stargrave females (in my plog), so may pick up a sprue of these to go with them.

It looks like they're still supporting the underhive setting and not expecting everyone to be in the ash wastes...
 
Even better, they are supporting learning.
"Braggadocio"

I actually had to look that one up. Slightly disappointed that there was no nuance to it, but still nice to learn a new word.

If I can bring myself to buy FW then these would be an excellent bit of resin to work into some space pirates and other bits of a cold trader gang.
 
Citation: "This troublesome twosome are the self-styled nobility of the underhive. The Gorvos crime family controls Two Tunnels, Draek’s Gantry, and the Grey Wastes Trading Post, and the dozen or so surrounding domes in a surprisingly solid alliance with the Faebrun and Kaorka clans."
 
Are these existing characters from a previous book, or something new? One seems vaguely familiar and there are so many named characters now that I have trouble keeping track of them.
These are 3 year old characters yes. Low-level hive scum, highly niche because they are outlawn only AND there are several other options to choose from. I would expect very few games world wide have ever included these. Nice models, but weird priority. FW probably makes whatever they feel like, which is fair, but no regard to usefulness or playtime on the battlefield. I.e.. these are not a good choice for any average gamer, these are for whales, collectors, converters or whoever find these particularly sculpts interesting. Unlike let's say a Yhetee for Blood Blow, a model which nearly all Norse teams want to include or at minimum have access to.
 
I do love the models, but personally I'd rather them focus on making non-Dramatis Personae. Named characters don't get much play in my experience - too expensive for what they get you. Plus part of the appeal of Necromunda to me is making my own characters whose narratives evolve over time.
I think they help to fill out the world, give a sense of how the writers see the setting. I don't mind them making a few as it adds some diversity to the range, but I think most would be better left to conversions than expensive Forge World models. A part of me also misses the days when there were fewer special characters and they actually felt special. Karloth Valois or Mad Donna would actually bring something to the table that most of the new named characters don't.
 
I’m still waiting to see if Escher get giant catanimal-things to ride on. I’ve predicted it, you’ve predicted it, we’ve all suspected - will they do it??? 🤞🏻

Just for laughs.

God I hope not. They've overdone the whole cat thing already, and they've already proved repeated that they can't sculpt them. I'm sure the vision the writer had was an 80s hair metal album cover of an amazon riding a battle-cat, but we all know the actual product will look like some kind of pig-beast. :cautious: Please just give my Escher some crotch rockets!

While I do like they they continue to flesh out the world of Necromunda with NPCs or character models (Though, what have they done to Vunder's face?!), I agree it's an odd preference to do these two, when they could have done these:

"Gunk bombs".... is this a children's cartoon series?

Yes, seems it is. :rolleyes:
This seems overly harsh on the first vehicle they've designed in a while that looks roadworthy (looking at you primaries Space Marine quad thingy, Orlock top-heavy mobile, and Goliath street sweeper).

I'm fine with ones that are relatively unknown and equipment light, since they can just be used as other stuff - it's when they arm them with combinations not really possible in the fluff that gets my goat.
