[Tom]

£15 for the figs. £5 for the cards.

Decided to go all in in the end. Lure of the book and more plastic was too strong!

[Tom]

Fairy nuff.

Dave, £15 back for the Escher sprues then?

GW Open Day report from an attendee via FB:

Orlock models, dice,tactic cards,gang war 2, and the new tiles will be on sale/pre-order 2nd half of febuary.

of the six new named bounty hunters in GW2, 3 have finished models as already shown, the other three are in production.

regarding resin weapons kits, FW are going a little overboard (in a very good way). Eschers are getting three packs. each pack has different weapons to each other and will fully convert a 10 pack of minis. these will be roughly even mixes, I.E. half close range, half long ranged like the plastics. these are lots of new guns (needle pistols and rifles, flamers, plasma guns, melta guns, 2 different heavy stubbers were all named) and some variants of existing ones (right or left handed versions of weapons on plastic). most if not all weapons in these packs will be added to the gangs 'house lists'. Goliaths and orlocks have several packs each in the works as well. These weapons kits will start being seen at the HH/N weekender next month, and one or two MIGHT be on limited sale there, if they get production on time.

the mystery of 'page 5' is that it is a piece of artwork, containing MAJOR SPOILERS for an upcoming release, a section of the 'named characters' section in the back of the book is also blocked out as well and is the same spoiler.

the three WD gangs are expected to be all out by summer, the articles are all written, but final scheduling is up to the WD team rather than specialist games, and SG wouldn't be drawn on issues or order as WD might change it due to reasons. quick recap, these WD gangs are a genestealer cult Neophyte gang, chaos cults, and a bounty hunters gang.

Gang War 3 will be out in the summer, alongside the 4th house (no confirmation of which house it will be, and don't believe anyone who says otherwise). GW3 will have new scenarios, characters and a massively increased trading post containing practically every Imperial weapon in 40k ATM, with some obivous exclusions (custodes stuff ect). based on the references of which factions where name checked and the like, this trading post list could very easily be well be nearly 200 weapons if not more.

Sounds like they have grand plans, it all sounds rather cool. I’ll believe the weapon sprue thing when I see it though!

[Tom]

New scenario in this month's WD. Not the most exciting but I've printed a copy.

Edit: A more reliable way of getting turf than any other scenario!

[Tom]

Can’t find a non social media source currently, but exciting slideshow from the Necromunda Weekender shows they are going big with Necro support. Plans to recreate pretty much everything that was there before and go much further.

There are a load of pictures in the thread on dakka, page 85 onwards.

Ive been following that dakka thread and in the last 48 hours it’s gone crazy!

Loads of new crazy models and weapon upgrade sprues for all three gangs!
