NECROMUNDA RETURN CONFIRMED

This gonna be fuking long post if you ask this question.
So lets say they they fucked up how campain missions play out. They fucked numbers and flow of the game and lack of customizations of your dudes.
I had FIVE-5 fukin skavens in first mission, who had to trade blows with humans like any normal band. Mordheim worked cuz its was mostly alpha strikes, if you atacked a goon you had chance to ko him and dont lost yours. Vidya made it so everyone were the same, and there was no point in rage fights since your shrukens/darts/whatever had no chance of stoping guy before he smashed you.
Also with 85% chance of doge you fail just as easy as with 10% chance.
To add chery on top, for some reasons all models looks like shit save for skavens, there are no elves, orks....just fukin humans hiden behind dlc.

Hol up, let me holla atchu. We needz more imperial credits fo dem programs. Where be all da white Escher at?

OH SHIT

That's the laspistol from earlier too

Nice for it to return but Im the only one who dosn not digg those minis at all? they look old...like 20 years old.

...

Holy fuck, that... doesn't look terrible? First time in a while. As long as those are the older bases, and we're not getting mega sized gangers now alongside everything else getting bloated up, I might actually get this. Also, GW really, really need to sack their current studio painting team, or at least whoever keeps insisting on this weird pastel comic book tone - Kitts fucking terrible.

Well I'm going to need a ton of these kits to make some decent looking cultists. Might sell off my DV ones to make room

Oh so its the new GW painting that sucks, thanks god. Can some one past some lore on Necromunda Amazons?

>Sell off
I've tried, man, you can't give those away

Fuck, those are the bigger bases aren't they? So the scale creep is in.

Rules for 40k Necromundian Guard when?

youtu.be/P3ALwKeSEYs

Looks like 25mm base for the girls, 32mm for the leader?

That's kind of the appeal. They are relatively subtle and toned down compared to the recent CAD monstrosities (except the goliath, who've always been the ridiculous faction). I like it, as long as they aren't needlessly scaled up to be bigger than marines for no fucking reason.

>get hype!
>pre-order at full RRP goyim!

And 32mm for the goliaths as they are huge

The only way to fight ranged in random missions was to cheese it, bring one captain and everyone else an archer.

Put them high up while the captain blocked the only way up to them and wait.

The fact everything was so artificially stacked against the human player just to make up for the programmers own lack of skill at creating good ai was the worst

Those Escher gangers are disappointing.

I dunno, I've got a sinking feeling the Escher are just massive. Look at the unpainted Goliath - pretty sure those are 32mm bases and it would be very odd if they varied sizes between human scale models on such a small scale game.

I dont think they have regiments since its Imperial Fist recruiting planet, only PDFs for them.

There's been a number of famous necromundian guard regiments

House Escher are literally an entire noble house of man-hating feminazis. Their men are mostly breeding stock with little actual rights, their women do the fighting and actually run the house's business affairs. They absolutely loathe House Goliath because they're almost all meat-headed musclemen whose approach to warfare is "get swole, get big sharp objects, plunge them into your enemy".

There are Spider regiments since 1st edition, last time they were mentioned in Regimental Standard.

Quick run down on escher

>Mining sector on Necromunda cracks open some dodgy gas
>All the men working the mines are afflicted with a degenerative disease
>The women take up arms and keep their families fed, through any means necessary
>Their territory borders the goliath's making them the main enemies
Somewhere along the line they started dying their hair pink and being led by a woman wearing a conical bra called mad donna, but who's to say that disease didn't affect the women too by proxy?

The necromundan spiders regiment is one of the first guard regiments ever depicted for 40k.

(you) earned it

>dat skulls-mohawk-chainaxe.
>brutal/10

thats the most metal thing I've seen in a while.

Kal Jerico had that story about a noblewoman escaping to the underhive and taking up with an Escher band.

She had gone too 'native' that Kal doubted her family would pay for bringing her back

Nah fuck that. NuGW make some nice big plastic kits, if you're into that, but they couldn't run a fucking bath properly.

If you got excited over them bringing Blood Bowl "back" or this you're a complete GW drone, both games have had fan communities for years and GW coming back is like a drunk dad at a wedding. All they'll do is sell a few dummies the freely available old rules split down into £30 campaign books or something.

Escher look alright, Goliath look too ridiculous and a bit poo. I'm guessing the Judge Dredd vibe will be going completely out the window.

Goliath looking like generic vidya baddies, gimme some more beefcake skin dammit

Bare models look fine, it was shit painting that makes them look dated.
Thats why I gave up, first chaos campain mission, I killed almost all of oposing band twice due to riddiculus reinforcment rules. And my chaos sorceror was geting hit by perlis of the warp each game, high risk no reward.
Fuck of PP
Looks like 25mm for girls and maybe 32 for boys.

I want to have sex with that stub pistol

>dying their hair pink and being led by a woman wearing a conical bra called mad donna
I love 80`s
My only hope is our feminazis dont pill up on escher and ruin it, I want snu snu my little azmazons in peace.

Jesus Christ..........

Its hardly a stub pistol by that point, its like the stupid meatheads took a revolver and built it at the scale of a rifle.
Does it fire grenade rounds or what?

revolver rifles are a thing.

it's a deagle brand stub pistol

The chain glaive makes me think they'll add in some new profiles.

But its still an oversized revolver handgun

>While lightly armoured, these cunning warrior women hold their own in melee combat, while at range, they are notorious for their use of armour-melting plasma weaponry.

No no NO FUCK NO SHIT FUCK. I know it's too late to say it, but please don't go down the Necromunda Underhive route with the shitty each-House-has-their-own-equipment-list.

If anything it'll get worse, looking forward to Goliaths having StubStorm Reaper Cannons™ or whatever dumb copywritable shit they dream up.

SCAVVIES WHEN

THE SHITSUMP BOYS MUST LIVE AGAIN

Different gangs could just have some weapons being cheaper or more readily available to them?

nah its fine. the different equipment lists is part of what makes the gangs distinct.

like my Goliaths "sniper" was handing a shotgun loaded with bolts to the guy with BS6.

It's not GW but Forge World.

Ah surely you mean Housarium Golithurk™

I bet the sculptor is the one that made the Custodes, same retarded poses.

Didn't house Cawdor have a firmly noted preference for flame weapon?

>each-House-has-their-own-equipment-list
didn't they always have their own equipment lists to a degree? Like, I remember escher could take swords on their regular gangers while everyone else had to suck it up and deal with all the parries.

or am I just remembering wrong. It's been a whlie.

That's literally how it is in standard old necromunda. Escher leaders can take plasmaguns, van saar leaders get meltaguns, cawdor get heavy flamers as a heavy weapon, etc.

Much like the different skill trees it doesn't take much to diversify the gangs.

That's why he said Necromunda Underhive specifically, ie 2nd edition

If the bring back the House Cawdor or the Arbites as well, I will spasm around atleast 3 days.

I preferred having skills being the thing that kept the houses distinct, rather than forcing houses to use particular equipment sets. Gangs growing into their house identity was nice, and in big campaigns, it meant that not every Escher / Delaque / Orlock etc. etc. gang was the same at the start.

Probably not going to bother picking up the new rules, because it's going to be the usual nuGW shitshow, but it might be nice to grab a few extra models to refresh my old gangs with.

I actually hope they don't bring Enforcers back too quick. They were never meant to be a real gang, they were so the guy running a Campaign could whittle down any gangs that got ahead of the rest.

That wouldn't be enough for GW or the players now, they'd just throw them in.

>Prepare for Judgement

>that revolver shotgun
The time has come and so have I.

>That's literally how it is in standard old necromunda

Nah mate, that's how it was in Necromunda Underhive. In standard old Necromunda, only the Outlanders were restricted in what shit they could buy (Eviscerators for Redemptionists! Fucking silly harpoon guns for your Scalies!), and what made Houses unique were visual style and what skills they had easy access to when upgrading.

Will you be able to take options not in the box? I hate how that question needs to be asked now with GW.

I wonder if the game will be different to SWA, like a more streamlined version, because I enjoy the lore and theme aspect to the game but I can't quite get into the whole '2nd ed' play style both games had going for them, like eveytime I play the game it's fun for about 2 games then it losses it's fun really quickly after that... I hope it's a more streamlined skermish or a whole new ruleset

THIS. The only guy who played Arbites (Enforcers?) was literally autistic and couldn't understand why no-one wanted to play his wall of armoured Bolters that rarely run out of ammo

Aren't arbites/enforcers an NPC faction?

I think, or at least hope they'll at least get the main four out of the way before blowing their loads on enforcers.

Praise the Emperor.
>starter is Goliath vs Eshcher
Filthy heathens!

Did Necromunda ever have a space marine faction?

Though being serious I could see it working such as Enforcers as an NPC faction.
Either a single Movie Marine-esque individual is dropped in against everyone else like a Spyrer or else the 'gang' takes the form of a squad of Space Marine Scouts in the underhive for a particular objective.

nah regular necromunda had distinct equipment lists as well.
I remeber that my goliaths couldn't take lasguns.
This is the cover.

I'm expecting it'll be the same rules with maybe a few tweaks.
more in depth gang and campaign rules.

They were meant to be, but other than whoever was running your campaign's discretion, you could field them since the Fanatic Magazine articles never really said. If you hated fun.

They'll probably never get around to Spyrers, I have a couple but some are rarer than hen's teeth.

I did not expect this.

Will it be an expansion for Shadow War, or a whole new game I wonder?

They were no faction, they were special NPC for some encounters. A single Space Marine would rip fresh new gang to pieces effortlessly and be a real challenge for veteran one.

Can't see how they'd improve Underhive's campaign rules, especially looking at what they did for SWA

>beefcake vs cheesecake.

>32mm bases
>25mm were already awkward enough on the stacked terrain at times

Anyone at GW actually have a brain?

they'll most likely be using the shadow war gantries/buildings, which work fine with 32mms

Wonder if they'll have some card in the box, though, for old times sake.

No, really, you're wrong - you're conflating it with the stuff from Necromunda Underhive.

maybe.
the smaller 40k startersets have some form of cardboard terrain I think.

I'm not. I've literally never played undergive.

I don't remember those Patriarch and Matriarch models.

Funnily on the FB trading pages there seems to have been a few people listing Necromunda this morning, how convenient.

They're incredibly rare, they weren't in production for long before Specialist Games got canned. Seen them go for £100+ each.

You're wrong. Gangers - of any of the houses! - start with access to the hand to hand, pistols, basic weapons and grenades lists. The introduction of "House X gets this equipment from a House list" is in Underhive.

>GET HYPE
Can someone who has played Necromunda explain why? I'm only really familiar with Epic and BFG.

>set up a recruitment station on planet
>suddenly planet loses all requirements for paying tithes to the Imperium

Why haven't traitorous chapters and Alpha Legion used this tactic to starve the Imperium of guardsmen?

Who dat with the bald head?? Model looks great.

It's one of the most "your dudes" wargames around. Your gang evolved over time as members either died or learned from experience, plus its smaller scale and having to factor in ammunition and the fact you were largely fighting other humans meant lasguns were actually a decent choice to equip your gang with.

Limited-edition Arbites they made for a Games Day once, if I remember correctly.

it was the better of the two GW skirmish games mechanically and had a more unique punk aesthetic

that's about it

although that's cool from a rules perspective it makes for weird situations models-wise, as your models all represented named gangers with stories to tell, and each ganger can really only have so many cousins/twins/bffs to fill in

The judge.

Damn that's a shame, I want.

There are certain recasters that still sell him, I believe

I think a few are on EBay, although from what I can recall they are a lot more expensive than standard gangers.
