Sure. My main point is the price. For that kind of cash you can get a starter box full of minis. Besides that the gargantuan scale creep is out of bounds here. Nagash was the first offender in that regard and the flood gates have been opened. Since then we have had Magnus, Mortarion and now this guy.
New models incoming
- Thread starter Malika
- Start date
Yeah, though the price is tied somewhat to it being ForgeWorld and huge.
You could certainly put that cash to better use that’s for sure, even in the “GW Hobby”.
Size and cost-wise, the model is roughly on par with many of the lower-end Lords of War that FW also sells, which I would consider to be appropriate for something that can not legally be used in Horus Heresy games smaller than 3000pts (primarchs and lords of war are individually not allowed to take up more than a quarter of your army's total points cost).
Having said that, I'd wholeheartedly agree that you should get a starter box or two for that cost. The rest of that army isn't going to build itself.

Whispers abound that just placing the model on the tabletop will summon other EC players out of nowhere to stand beside you.
What's that? Those rumours were started by the FW marketing department? What do you mean I can't use it in 40k, did you see how much I paid for it?
I have to assume it's basically a display piece. I wouldn't trust myself not to knock it over on the tabletop let alone anybody else.
For that price I expected Fulgrim to come along as a marble statue riddled with diamonds.
Well sure, but it's not like anyone will ever be able to order it from the web store...
I had totally missed that they've phased out Forgeworld website, and that it now all goes to that new website.
Wish they'd kept old layout. Can't find bloody anything now. Particularly enjoy that "shop by setting" seems not to bring up any of the specialist games at all...

It is one of those "You know you're old when you're upset that they changed the layout of the grocer's" moments, isn't it? I really don't like the new layout either.
Considering how often they change the layout of shops here, you only need to be six months to start feeling old.
Any bets/predictions/wishlisting for next Friday's announcement? As I see it, the stuff that most obviously needs to happen:
Enforcer Tauros kit (there's no way they just reissue the old one; it's out of scale with modern GW stuff, Necromunda doubly so, and who knows what shape the mold is in after all this time)
Delaque Ash Wastes rules in some form; no idea what kind of venue that would take, but maybe a sequel to Book of the Outlands that could use the new post-Aranthian Succession status quo to modernize the outlier gangs like the various cults
Weapon sprues for (in, IMO, decreasing order of likeliness) Ash Waste Nomads, Squats, and Slave Ogryns. Guaranteed they'd be FW like the Corpse Grinder sprue; a real bummer that the gang most in need of one is the least likely to get it, as one of if not the least-played gangs in the game. (And yes, I know you can source the weapons from other kits, but I'm not great at conversions and part of why I like Ogryns to begin with is the industrial look; having the other weapon options to match the existing kit would be incredibly welcome)
House Aranthus gang? I haven't had a chance to pick up Ruins of Jardlan, but this seems like a real possibility, right?

Maybe we move to secundus. Brats, and a genestealer cult with new models are possible.
The old roadmap from 2021 said 3 books and Next a box. So maybe new box with enforcers and Taurus against a new gang with vehicle.

An awesome plastic Tauros released for Necromunda - and yet not a single post (?) on Yaktribe.
Edit: found a post in the Sump…
Fells like the site (and the Necro-buzz) is slowly withering away

The problem appears to be "The model is great, but why were not all models like that?" which is fair, because "Why didn't we get more generic vehicles?" is a fair question to ask.
But at the danger of being accused of rampant positivism and being a GW shill, sometimes it's amazing to watch people, on the internet at large and on this website, tie themselves into a pretzel to find something to dislike about a new model. Not always, mind, often there are founded and justified complaints, but sometimes what is said feels just a teensy bit like "the free candy I got had the wrong flavor".

It’s a great looking kit but I won’t get one as I have no use for it. If they’d released it at the same time as the big truck, people would have been a lot more excited.
It's not necromunda but I'm glad to see flesh eater court get some love. It's the one faction I really think has evolved to have better background that in Warhammer fantasy, where (at least until I stopped following it), ghouls just hung around graveyards and ate flesh. The idea that they're all totally delusional, and believe themselves to be a knightly court, whilst actually being monstrous horrors, is just superb, so it's nice to see the faction get some love - and whilst I (ironically) don't like the mounted models, the character models and the ghouls with halberds are great!
That’s right, I think that if there had been this and the Cargo-8 plus maybe another light vehicle option released after AW, available to all gangs then people would’ve been pleased and a few Gang upgrade kits could’ve been made too.
It’s a lovely looking model but restricting it to Palanites is kinda disappointing.
I guess it could be Arbitrated to all but then that removes a unique option from the Palanites.
Oh, you just know some gang is gonna ambush some enforcers and steal those things.
