Axineton Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 My friend just text me and said it’s £180 for the box. That is crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 That is indeed rather pricey. It seems a bit weird considering the contents vs the contents of Dark Uprising, where there was quite a lot more terrain. Although I guess you do get quite a few more minis in this package, as you get 10 models on foot in each gang and then either vehicles or giant bugs on top of that. The rulebook also seems to be hardcover, but still, this seems more expensive than the starter boxes for the main games, which strikes me as slightly odd/optimistic on GW's behalf.Oh well, we'll see what's what when it gets here. In any case, I'm going to get it, but I'm going to skip the extras. I don't particularly like the tactics cards for each gang in practice as they seem to swing wildly in power and applicability, although I like the general idea of tactics cards. Maybe I'll look into making one "common" deck of tactics cards that everyone draws from. Castigator and Firedrake Cordova 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castigator Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I'm with you on the tactics cards, we've stopped using them altogether because they can be so powerful in a game. Players can feel 'cheated' out of the game at times and we found they detracted from the game rather than added to it. I'm disappointed at the cost, especially as all I want are the rule book, the dice and the Orlock buggies. I already have an Orlock gang and more than enough terrain. The nomads are great but I have so many gangs waiting to be painted that they're likely to never be used by me. My head says wait for the rule book to be released separately, especially as I don't think there'll be rules for proper vehicles in it (e.g. trucks), but my heart says stop being sensible and buy it.....I know already that my heart will win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Wow £180 is a bit on the cheeky side... Between this and the rumored price for HH looks like Im spending my future funds on food and more important stuff for my flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't I know it! I just went ahead and pulled the trigger on Ash Wastes. Hopefully we'll manage to grow something edible in the garden...

Axineton Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I preordered for £125 from longbow games. I had a 31% discount cos a codex I bought in January was damaged by the courier so Jason at longbow gave me this discount that they do if you pay a tenner a month so I finally used it for ash wastes. With shipping it cost £131 in total so very happy with that. They do a 25% discount if anyone is interested by the way.

Antarius Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Nice! I ordered mine from a local(ish) retailer. Not quite as good a discount, but he runs a great shop and so I always just end up shopping with him. Looking forward to reading the goonhammer review, they tend to be very good. Not looking forward to getting sick (my GF’s parents tested positive thursday after she visited them wednesday. She started feeling poorly yesterday and just tested positive an hour or so ago). I still feel completely fine, but that’s probably just a matter of time. Hopefully I won’t get so sick I can’t play heroes of M&M 3 :) Axineton 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axineton Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Yeah there was no way I was paying £180 for a game lol! Good job on getting a discount too mate and fingers crossed you don’t get ill. Antarius 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antarius Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Another book coming called Book of the Outlands. Vehicular mayhem ensues! Yeah, it seems like they’re going with some generic vehicle types for everyone? Should be a nice basis for conversions and scratchbuilts, so it’s kind of what I’d hoped for.

Axineton Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 My ash wastes is turning up in 30 mins but I’m going out drinking in 15 mins so I’ll have a look at it when I get back tonight if I’m in any state too otherwise it’ll wait until tomorrow.

Antarius Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Haha, the wise bet is probably to wait untill tomorrow, but I guess I'd be tempted too :) Axineton 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axineton Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Bloody hell this box is huge!! 18 sprues included. Need to check out the book and see what it’s all about. Bring on the next book too. Petitioner's City 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I just went and picked up mine this morning. And yeah, it is pretty packed.Started reading the book and so far it seems quite good - I'm kinda dreading having to reread the rules and look for small but important changes. Don't get me wrong, I think it's nice that they iron out some of the wrinkles of the system, but I have a hard time concentrating on reading rules I already (sort of) know.

Antarius Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Okay, the new campaign looks fun (it's all about controlling sections of road, establishing/controlling trade routes, collecting toll - that kind of thing) and at the same time not too far off from the Dominion campaign. I wish I had the time to dive straight into building vehicles, but fixing up the new house and practicing for recording is gonna eat up most of my time this month :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axineton Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Just preordered the double hab thing got it for £50 still a bit pricy but there you go. Also ordered a ridgerunner that I’ll use for necro too but not sure if it’ll be for Cawdor or Orlocks yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 So for people who actually bought Ash Wastes, whats the deal with vehicles? Is there much in there or will we need other books as well to get a decent game in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castigator Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The basic rules for vehicles are in the book and they fit very neatly into the existing rules. Unfortunately there's only the quads that have full rules and even they look like they're not fully complete (riders not having access to a side arms and such). I'm waiting for the next book before I finish my quads because I have a feeling things will change and I want to know what other vehicles will be available before I decide on the load out. Really it's all about the next book. Slave to Darkness and Dr_Ruminahui 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 So a broken game on release as par for GW... :tu: Guess Ill download the book then, not paying that kinda coin for half a game. Just when I think GW have got it sorted they remind me why I dont like them any more. :( Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castigator Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I'd say it's more of an incomplete game rather than broken. The rule book that comes with the box is much improved over previous versions and the vehicle rules and Mounts are neat and elegant. It's not perfect (psychic rules still left wanting) but in a game that is all about narrative rather than competitive play it achieves its goal. Without another book players could easily develope their own rules to expand the vehicle (and Mounts) range but we all know the Outlands book isn't too far away so why bother? That said I wish I'd waited for the rule book to be released rather than buying the box set. The terrain is great but I already have enough terrain to cover a 4'x12' table, so I don't really need it....although I might change my mind once I have the rules to field more vehicles which may require specific types of terrain The Nomads aren't really grabbing me either but I think I'll change my mind about them once their full rules are available in the next book. I already have an Orlock gang so I only needed the Quads but I'm sure they'll come in handy for future conversions. It's not a bad box set (although it is a little on the pricey side) but for experienced Necromunda players it really needs the Outlands book.
