I think they look awesome, though with the 360 view the hammer and claw champs almost look like Orlocks.

Yeah, I was actually considering using those two as Orlocks.

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

When they first previewed the claw champ, I thought it was a male hired gun or something.

Underhive Informant: A Visit to the Doctor

 

Enter the House of Iron

 

The new Rule of Iron that Arms Masters get is pretty useful and I'm keen to see more of the new Orlock Skill set Bravado. 

 

Most of all, I love that the House Orlock gimmick is based around reputation and nicknames - hopefully my guys will have their names on the official list already:

 

'Orlock gangers live and die by their reputation. To represent this, your Orlock Leaders and Champions can now be given Orlock Legendary Names. These are Orlock-specific Advancements that symbolise some great deed. Be careful though, part of being a legend is living up to your own hype. For example, maybe your fighter is incredibly lucky, but maybe they’re so lucky that they’re not around for the worst fights.'

 

 

 

Love it.

Got my Rogue Doc and Informer today. Superb models and first time in ages I've not wanted to convert something.

[Dosjetka]

I'm a big fan of the name/reputation-related rules for Orlocks. Very cool. :tu:

Lots of exciting things on pre-order next week! Anyone know if the gang tactics cards are any different from the ones originally released?

[Firedrake Cordova]

Anyone know if the gang tactics cards are any different from the ones originally released?

if House of Iron is the same as the House of Chains/Blades books, they're different, and are reproduced in table-form in the relevant book :)

Ah brilliant, I’d looked to get those cards for the most recent expansions, but wasn’t too sure (and hadn’t compared!). Much obliged!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Somewhat surprisingly, the gang cards haven't sold out yet ... I guess either's there's lower demand, or GW printed a load more :D

[INKS]

I am a bit daft. what do the cards do for the game?

This article (at least the first bit) will get you up to speed InKaras:

 

Necromunday: Tactics Cards – Which Ones Are Good and How To Use Them

 

The Tactics cards were a great idea that was utterly ruined by GW by making them an add on purchase. (and limiting the stock to approximately half a dozen per country )

 

Thankfully the new House Books include a printed list of Gang Tactics Card and their effects.

 

In other news... my House of Iron book turns up today.

New Champions for House Orlock

 

[Gorgoff]

Noice.

[Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra]

New Champions for House Orlock

 

Well, I'm certainly sold.

 

Time for another (sigh) gang.

[Ranulf]

They're cool minis - but I'd wager they're going to follow the stupidly-overpriced resin example of the Escher Champions.

 

-Ran

[Akrim]

I dont really get the point of the Escher champs, I mean nice models but I would just convert them out of regular gangers and make them unique.

 

House of Blades is a good set though, packed with weaponry and those awesome Death Maidens.

Im currently working on House of Iron - fantastic kit. They had me at plastic Cyber Mastiffs.

[tangoalphatwo]

I’m not diggin’ the or lock champions. At first, was excited for the female models, but the more I look at them, the less attractive they look. I’ve seen too many good conversations of female Orlocks and the video game has ruined my for how good female Orlock aesthetics can be.

[Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra]

Went and bought an Orlock gang, the new champion/dog/wrecker box, House of Iron, and the friggn' dice. Orlocks were my first love in Necromunda, time to get back into that particular saddle.

The 2021 Necromunda roadmap is out!

 

The Future of the Underhive.

[Axineton]

Can’t wait for the Cawdor release. Wonder if there’ll be a terrain piece to along with it.

There won't be. They don't release terrain for gangs, although they do have rules for it.

[Chaeron]

Great to see the Van Saar release, although this did catch me by surprise a little bit in terms of how quickly they came out! (I think I'd assumed they'd come in very early Q1.)

 

I really do value these Road Maps, as it's exciting to see what's coming and the respective plans. And, I can't not be excited for whatever might come in Q4!

Underhive Informant – Turn the Tide with the Water Guild

 

 

-Ran

[Dosjetka]

I'm a little on the fence with regards to the two Water Guild representatives. I think I need to see a 360° view of them and/or unpainted pictures. The big boy though... damn. :wub:

[Squark]

House of Faith's first big preview was heavily suggested to be coming this Saturday.
