New models incoming

That Blood Angels dude is freaking awesome. I agree its the best Necro mini Forge World have made. The mini tells a great story without need for words.
Those are really cool! Oddly GW doesn’t make it that easy to get hold of servitors for general use these days, they’re always bundled in with some other expensive item I don’t want.
Hopefully these aren’t.
“Where’s that thing gone I was holding in my left hand?!?! Grrrrrrr”
That one?
I assume it will be the usual 4x sprues of 5 models each. And you can normally buy individual sprues on eBay if you don't want that many.
I was thinking: Obviously a former Blood Angel who has fallen (at least in part) to the Black Rage and is now operating as yet another bounty hunter on bounty hunter world.
Many assumptions made. I may be wrong and he may just be a different strain of unnaturally chonky vampire.
20 isn’t too bad at all. All those mechanical parts could come in handy, I probably could use a few to operate some field artillery in 40k 2nd (should I ever, ever actually finish a project for it).
Then there’s random cybernetic dudes for necromunda scenery, npcs and the like not to mention Pit Slave potential either as hireables, a gang or THUNDERCUBE contestants!
Failing that I definitely know someone who would go 50/50 and split a box with me.
Indeed, it’s most likely what you suggest.
Though he does look a little like he’s posing for Chunky Vampire Boi magazine… but we’ll ignore that.
Two industrial serfs cleaning up after a gang fight as Vandoth goes by:
"Who's that then?"
"Dunno, must be a Space Marine."
"Why?"
"He's got two matching shoes on."

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but....
House Ty Onmyodo Coven
Other than her head and fan, the noble comes across as more Egyptian than Asian (IMO) and for the $50US price tag, one could likely kitbash them.

You read that as Egyptian?Not sure if this has already been mentioned but....

I can see it, especially with that collar and the bare feet.
I don't see it either. To be honest, i don't like them. They can't seem to have their own personality. As they seem to borrow from differents culturez. But for an assassin creed japan 40.000 it will be perfect.

I like the House Ty models, but not for £32.50. If they were ~£20, it would be the top end of me willing to buy them.
I'll probably grab them eventually, as I quite like the swordswoman, but they give off a lot of Ghost in the Shell/Cyberpunk energy that nothing else in Necromunda really does. I will definitely cut off the cables on the sword, that is just asking for a bad time in a fight.
Yeah... it's definitely the collar. I know that front gold bit is just the standard winged skull icon (I think) but something about it immediately brings the egyptian winged scarab to mind and now I can't un-see it.
The plainness of it all too. If it wasn’t for the overly long sleeves the body of it could easily fit in as an Egyptian priestess or the like.
The staff is a bit OTT too.
It does give a bit of GitS vibe, which I guess is what they’re going for.
When you consider that a lot of cyberpunk has the Far Eastern vibe to it (think Blade Runner) it’s notable that Necromunda never really trod that ground much before.
As it stands it seems that it’s the only non-western culture that they’ve been able to tap into without being called out on it.
This "fallen Blood Angel" is really awesome!! Would like to read about his Lore!! I need his lore
Just for the record, House Ty is supposed to have a Far Eastern vibe, according to what little lore there is.
Sure, though the main point is that due to cyberpunk settings historically adopting a Far Eastern feel (given most originating in the late 70s - early 90s when those economies were booming it makes sense they would be seen as “the future”) it seems to get a pass.
Whereas if GW had given them any other non-western look these days it would’ve been criticised.
Long gone are the days when GW regularly used to style ranges based on real life cultures.
Mostly true.
I think they might get away with some African style Imperial Guard mounted on giraffes just because it will look so comically ridiculous to model a charging space giraffe.
Ok I don't see GW doing that.
Im sure there's a fairly early White Dwarf with a woman on a space ostrich.
Yep - issue 9 - space ostrich.
Also, issue 57 - space zebra.
