And following on from that, Meat Loaf's character is giving me Orlock vibes.
Maybe a Rocky Horror Venator gang is the way to go...
New models incoming

I assume it's correct. I'm surprised it's 11th rather than 4th, but it's not normally the 1st. I think they always launch on a Saturday.
Turns out Wargames Atlantic has just released some present-day shipping containers -
20 Foot Shipping Containers
BY SEA, BY LAND, BY AIR! Chances are you’ve seen one of these somewhere today as you’ve gone about your life. The ubiquitous and standardized shipping container is one of the main cogs in the wheel of global trade. We’ve created an exact 1/56 scale version of the common 20 foot container here to...

If you’re making a port then rather usefully, the more boxes you buy the lower the unit price goes!!
Looks like a new Phyrr cat model. There has been a further Goliath model shown off that's not in the new core set, and some have speculated that this is from a new box leader box, similar to what the Palanites or Squats have. This may be a further indication that both Goliaths and Escher will get leader boxes and that these will contain pets.
EDIT: New croc as well

That's is much better mini for both the Goliats and Escher pets.

It looks cool, but it does not look like a cat. It looks like a very aggressive goat to my eyes.
Again, I like it per se, as a Magos Biologis I love a good critter, but apparently they took the guy who modelled Yvrane's cat out back and shot him after he was done making the best GW cat ever, and now everybody is too scared to model something actually feline, lest they share his fate.

My first thought was hyena. The gnolls in D&D often have the same hair style.
Ooh, nice. I wonder if they’re plastic kits? If they do have a new leader kit it might include a pet - certainly would be the best place to add one anyway.
Alas, as nice as they are I converted my own cats years ago and got the lovely croc from Imitation of Life minis. So I’m set really.
I just wish they would finish off doing the various alliances. I've been waiting for the Promethium Guild and the Guild of Coin models for soooo long.
Guilds will probably be (re-)released in a future ”Journal expansion”, i.e. rules and plastic models at the same time. Given the number of guilds I imagine the minis will come as more generic sculpts with alternative bits (heads, symbols, etc.) that convert them into guilders of different types. So less diversity in body size, equipment, etc.
I do hope in this case at least the leader and special champs of each guild get their own box
Even if all they get for back up is generic 'Guild Scum' , if its just some head swaps and they lose the extra flavour they will become much less interesting
Dropzone Commander gets a third edition and with that a new faction.
If it wasn´t for Legions Imperialis I would have picked this game. Also pay attention of the amount of models you receive in this starter box. Two fully fledged armies and no "less for more" like we are used with GW.

Starcraft gets a second wave:

This page doesn't give me massive confidence even in this solution - https://www.warhammer-community.com...characters-are-getting-free-necromunda-rules/
If you look at the alliances getting downloadable rules, it's all the ones that have miniatures (and none of the ones that don't). It also says some characters got rules but didn't get models, and they they may release rules later - but no mention of models.
Even then, I don't love your solution - the guild miniatures they released in resin are some of the best miniatures in their entire model range, each of them being really individual and unusual. It would be a great shame if they abandoned the last few guilds, but possibly even greater a shame if the last few came in a more generic form.
Not a "official" model (isn't every sci-fi model a Necromunda model at heart?) but there is a Etherium Guild model set on various 3d printers (I think it's on My mini factory and others). The range has pretty much all the proxies for the guilds and many hangers on and others for the range.
If you don't want to wait a decade for them to get round to making official models.
I was really surprised they didn't do the Promethium Guild first. That artwork in the book was awesome and screamed Mechanicus in vibes and they had a whole range of 40k Martians to borrow ideas from.
They have already stated that some of the guilds (but not all of them) are getting PDF rules, from the ones they have Forge world models for and addressed the community converted or proxy models for various hanger ones and dramatic persona. So they won't be in a rush to do a supplement.
They typically focus on the hard copies they can sell in store (i.e the books and in store models) which is the new books and just the Justifiers in plastic. They want people to go to the shop and spend more than they planned. (Capitalism, consumerism etc). The forge world stuff is not a primary selling goal.
If they wanted to do a Guilds/Alliance expansion it would be a massive undertaking. It would be involving at least 4 separate guild plastic boxes more likely all six. Completely annihilating the flavour of the individual guilds is not something that can sell. Just making a generic henchman guts too much flavour and people won't buy them. The Corpse collectors and Water guild are very distinctive looks and can't be used on the same base bodies (the Subnautican is basically an Ogre). And both of them look nothing alike to the Promethium Guild or slavers guild etc.
There is a reason why they don't make a alter Elf and Dwarf kit.
Individual kits for just one guild each with possible options like alternative weapon fits or heads will be a viable project but not across such distinctively difference looks between the guilds.
For the amount of different kits required for a full guild release it would be a release as large as the new edition. Necromunda doesn't do a Blood bowl style format with its Journals and team releases. It is closer to the mainline 40k and AoS in hobby format. New hardback and kits releases.
There is not enough infrastructure to produce a Necromunda only magazine on its own and a Journal release on a much more regular scale.
Back in the old Specialist Games days with Fanatic there was enough spread and interest between the different systems to keep that going but it's a different world now. Battlefleet Gothic is an entirely independent community maintained community without GW input, Epic is in a similar situation. There are whole swaths of the Necromunda community who won't switch to a new edition and maintain themselves.
Blood bowl only survives in journal form on its own because it is a fantasy football (or more properly Rugby) thing.
The internet has done many things. Including killing the physical gaming magazine.
I hypothesise that a Warhammer community download will crop up now and then and the forge world release a few months apart. The alliances still aren't the main gang they are a characterful option.
Further to the Phyrrcat speculation, GW releases information about the upcoming House of Blades journal and more relevant to this thread, a whole load of new Escher Matriarch models and a Leader along with two “cats”.
Unless I missed it I don’t think it says if they’re plastic or resin.

Claim the underhive for House Escher with new miniatures and rules
Matriarchs, Phyrr Cats, and a new kind of rules supplement is coming to Necromunda.

They answered that on the Faceybooks. It's a box of plastic minis.
Excellent news. Also I think it was speculated that they would be following an earlier Enforcers release which was like that.
So I guess the also viewed Sumpcroc will be part of a similar set.
