They have the swag, that's for sure.

Untill they bring a new Van Saar Gang I'll rock the mullet men.

 

 

Mad Robot makes a squad called "Vanderbilt Fighters" which is undeniably a 3rd party Van Saar gang - in case you don't want to wait a year.

Should be 6 (5) months for Van Saar, not 12 brother. Assuming we get a box every 3 months.

I bought me some cool heads for my Goliath:

How that will turn out I am looking forward to. :)

[Metalsiege]

I hope they rerelease rules for Scavvies. Perhaps they will become a Chaos cult gang instead? I hope they can field zombies in that case.

 

We played a zombie-campaign lots of years ago, many super-fun scraps with gangs fighting over loot while avoiding the hordes zombies that were drawn to the noise.

 

I hope they do too. Reading through the book last night left a lot out of the equation for different factions... including my desire to have some Adeptus Arbites.

 

 

 

I dunno... every gang needs that one short guy who has a really big attitude problem and a chip on his shoulder...

 

I mean with all those growth hormones, stimms and extreme violence I guess House Goliath would kinda be constipated so that works for the old range facial expressions.

All we know is that Orlocks are coming out in the first quarter 2018, and there are 3 more gangs after that.  Minimum is 6 months, but if Van Saar isn't next (and we don't know who is), it could very well be 4th quarter 2018 before we see them.

 

And of course, that assumes that GW will stick to the schedule they stated.  Find a Blood Bowl player who was waiting for Elves, and ask him how that worked out. :D

[Metalsiege]

I'm hoping they stick to whatever schedule they release and add a little bit in between.

 

Hell, find a 40k player waiting for SoB re-sculpts....

[Inquisitor Fox]

For what it's worth, I'm still waiting on my new Bretonnian army book

[Supe robot gangster #1]

I’ve got a feeling delaque might be next after orlock. Reading through the rule book last night and noticed that Escher and Goliath are bitter rivals, apparently the same is true between Orlock and Delaque, so my guess would be they’d be released near to their rivals, with Cawdor and Van Saar being last (the pauper house and the rich house, I guess you could put a rivalry there)

[Marshal Rohr]

Delaque is going to be cool just for all the Dusters.

Numerous places, including Atia's blog, are saying the release schedule should be; Orlocks, Van Saar, Cawdor and then finally Delaques. So Van Saar should be coming in the 2nd quarter.

 

If they are the 2nd additional gang to be released, then the sculpts where finished along time ago. I remember when the box game was first announced they said they had 4 gangs ready to go. I'd expect them May-June time.

[MithrilForge]

Well, considering the quality of the first 2 gangs and then the awesome look of the Orlocks   

i'm really Thinking/hoping that the Van saar will be a mind blowing good looking gang and worth the wait! ( by the time they're out i should have the game down pat and understand weapon choices/loadouts better)

 

@Gorgoff - awesome head swaps for your Goliaths... what are you doing with the original heads?...may i ask 

 

Cheers, Mithril

I really don't know, because every head comes in two parts. Mohawk plus visage.

Why you ask? ;)

[MithrilForge]

I'm trying to make an all gas mask Goliath gang that will try to be bane themed... Looking to trade or buy additional heads to make it happen, send me a PM if you don't want em but require compensation ;-)

 

Cheers, Mithril

[Kastor Krieg]

My solution was buying two boxes, lol. One gang with all masks, the other the default faces

I'll wait for the heads first.

If they look great we'll talk. ;)

[Metalsiege]

Don't forget pics! I really wanna see how well some other heads from other companies do since these are two pieces now.

[Inquisitor Fox]

As much as I hate the idea as the chem weapons really help swing the odds, the gas mask heads do look really good. There is also the part of my brain that goes "Nah, these boys just all had the chili"

[Vesper]

I hope in time they bring back the possibility to craft our own houses, like The Unknown Warriors allowed us to. That'd be great.

[Gorgoff]

It'll be 10 days untill they arrive.

Then I'll make some pictures.

[Slave to Darkness]

Nice sketches of the hired guns.

[Kastor Krieg]

HOLY CRAP. If the minis will turn out faithful to this... OMG. My wallet hurts already.

[Doghouse]

Those are nice, I can see at least two of those FW has already made into models. Those guys have quite a 2000ad feel to them.

[Slave to Darkness]

Yea at first I wasnt too sure about the new hired guns, now I love the whackyness of them.
