Joe Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 WarCom Article. Following on from the announcement last week, a small overview article on the update - described as "the biggest thing to happen to Necromunda since the 2017 relaunch." The expansion will launch with "a massive new boxed set", followed soon after by "a whole series of books" exploring the various factions. Unfortunately, no further information on the actual box itself - presumably, a full reveal isn't due out until AdeptiCon at this point. I do hope they use this as an opportunity to consolidate a lot of the rules into a revamped core book, however, as there's a serious rules bloat right now.

I've occasionally considered getting in to Necromunda but the sheer amount of books is extremely off-putting, so them bringing some of that content together could be a winner for me if it happens, especially as I like the Mad-Max vibe I got from the Ash Wastes trailer.

Fire Golem Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I’m pretty damn psyched for Ash Wastes. Zebulon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I haven’t played Necromunda since it’s initial release in the 90s. The Ash Wastes setting may change that. I’m curious if the terrain and models will be a wealth of material for those that like to explore the technobarbarian setting of pre-Unification.

There is a consolidated document floating around the internet. It's pretty massive. It might benefit GW if they made something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMawr Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Im thinking squats might be one of the ash waste gangs, and not a 40k or Kill team release at all. firestorm40k, N1SB and tangoalphatwo 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antarius Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I would say I literally cannot wait, but the truth is I literally can't do anything but wait :'(That being said, I cannot wait!

Noserenda Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Our group has been spitballing a Necromunda campaign weekend for a while, im pretty confident Ash wastes will be the decider on that happening, especially as my main fellow instigator has been making various Gorkamorka mods for years (I was quite keen to see his Warcry version finished...). I do hope the opening book is a broad church with vehicles for everyone and stats for the existing 40k civilian vehicles (Mostly from GSC) to maximise that initial uptake rather than drawing things out so you cant play properly until the last book is done! Especially as i run a cult mainly and they will definitely be last to get addressed otherwise! Does look like Orlocks V Nomads in the animatic, so probably the box gangs?

Antarius Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Does look like Orlocks V Nomads in the animatic, so probably the box gangs? Sounds reasonable; Orlocks should be a shoo-in, considering their new fluff about venturing into the ash wastes and the Nomads are the iconic ash waste gang. There's lots of potential for a "The Hills Have Eyes"-style mutant/cult gang too!

Firedrake Cordova Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Sounds interesting, but I don't like the sounds of "a whole series of books" - Necromunda suffers from there being too many books as it is (if you want the complete rules, you'll need 11 books). Yes, they're great from a background point of view, but it's a massive financial investment, and it takes up a hell of a lot of space (if you're not buying the digital versions).

StraightSilver Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I notice the truck / land train is also in the artwork posted in the article today, so reckon that pretty much confirms it's in the big starter set.

Slave to Darkness Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) SO.... HYPED...Cant put into words how jacked I am for this... Im so happy I wanna fight the world. +++EDIT+++ Am worried about price and the scenery inside, wont be happy if its overpriced plastic sand dunes, other than that I have no worries about this. 'Munda is my all time fave GW game/setting and Gorkamorka was hella fun, this is the most I have been hyped by GW since the original 'Munda release when I was a kid. C'mon GW I know you can do this, please dont let me down.

DukeLeto69 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 As someone extremely unlikely to ever play any of the TT games again but who loves the lore, I can only dream of GW consolidating all that Necromunda lore into a massive single volume!

They gotta do a mission with that on rolling scenery, get that Mad Max 2/Fury Road war rig chase reference in there, would be rude if they didnt.

The Necromunda team do love excessive scenarios, thats got to be a given? :D The Best one ive ever played was the one from the Orks v Elysian IA, where some of the random pop up terrain was angry infantry units taking pot shots :) Slave to Darkness and Asbestress 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magos Takatus Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Gorkamorka with the current stable of Ork vehicles would be insanely cool. Saying that, the expansion being used for it's intended purpose also sounds pretty awesome. Noserenda and Firedrake Cordova 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
