Yes the latter was what I was referring to. That orks had boltguns and bolt pistols and that bikers had autocannons and the buggy had a heavy melta gun.

And the Gretchin all had autoguns! A simpler time. Think I still have the 2nd ed wargear manual somewhere.
Hey, go back to Rogue Trader days and you could have Orks in power armour with conversion beamers. 
On a more serious note though, I can appreciate the idea that the technology is universal with different visual styles, but also understand why they would want the groups to have their own unique technologies. I don't really think one idea is better than the other, it's just interesting to see the different approaches to game design.
they do, the "Troupe Master"
Can't remember if they've moved shadowseer to Hq as well or whether its still an Elites choice
Not too bothered by vehicles ... I only like them in micro-scale so unless this set is in 6mm it will be a tough sell. I will check out the new factions if they are on foot.
I will pick up any new Orlocks. Ill probably skip the boxed set... unless it contains a ton of stuff that I like at a decent price.
Im not excited, or disappointed really.
Im a little miffed as it means Ratskins and Brats are probably not factions in the game. BUT at the same time it also means SPYRERS remain dead. Hopefully they are gone for good.

I'd like spyrers to be more modular but I'd much rather see them back than brats.
I don't see how you make the brats different enough to the other gangs with venators and scum gangs out there. And while I'd prefer Spyrers, I don't see how you'd make them as terrifying as they were originally - with the amount of specialised gangers out there.
I always felt spyrers were extremely boring as they ignored far too much of the gang upkeep mechanics and were rarely fun to play against. This is one aspect of the old game that I would be quite happy to see changed or removed entirely.
I quite liked the Brat gang look back in the olden days... I think Spyrers were basically a re-imagining of them anyway.
Now that the team seem to be moving out of Hive Primus I can't really see them doing either for a long time if at all.
With all of the Specialist Gangers out there now most of the gimmicks of the old Spyrers are kinda old hat.

I'd assume you just stat them out like Brutes (though fewer models than the Slave Ogryn gang)...
I would like a bit more equipment for the slave ogryns. I love those models but wish I could equip ripper guns mauls and shields
Surely one of the maunfactoriums on necromunda are churning out that equipment. Even if they just ruled it that you could only get it on the black market. It would make sense anyway given the slave ogryns origins
I don't care so much for the cost. GW plastic will always be expensive, if that is worth it is entirely subjective. Regardless of cost, it is great terrain. But great terrain alone is not enough for me. I require primarily a good game, then ideally good terrain to go with it. Doesn't matter how nice the terrain is while the game suffers (and continues to suffer for the foreseeable future).
There is no gifts in Business, and that's fine.
I recently got a dark Uprising Box (the last of its kind, it seems), mostly for the terrain, and I love it. I'd gladly have more of it.
However, I put a lot of strain on my hobby budget lately, so I might want and have to refrain from the sector or wait till a bunch of unfinished projects find their way onto Ebay a year or so later.

Oops, sorry, didn't really know where to put this and just moved it to the "New models incoming" thread.
P.S.: But that's exactly why I posted this, to see how others rate the box.
Naa, my bad!
I meant to aswer there, but apparently I have oafy orkfingers. I was just wondering why my post didn't show up.
I’ll just drop this here.
Not sure why blood bowl teams are more affected by rising material cost than other sets. Very strange. Almost like their prices are nothing to do with material cost.
