necromunda Mind-Locked Wyrd + Cephalopod Spektors + Van Saar Ash Wastes Upgrades

[Lord Marshal]

It's Necromunday!

The Cephalopod Spectors look amazing.

 

Now if only they weren't absolute garbage rules-wise....

Feels like an odd choice to bundle the hired gun wyrd in with the Delaque pets? Especially as she has such an unusual head of hair :P

I guess it's because of their preferred alliance, but I agree, it's a shame. But I can imagine someone just buying for the wyrd could sell off the spekters individually, adding up to more than the kit's actual value?

Cool to have some additional Van Saar bits and bobs, but I want the arachni rigs!

Looks like someone has been watching Megamind.

I think the fur waistcoat and skull staff might be nice subtle nods to the first run of Wyrds?

Those little bots are awesome!

I like them too. But, I would have really liked Mister Handy like the original artwork.

Third time they've done something like this. We had the only caryatid (a generic pet available to any faction) they've released bundled with an Escher House Agent & the only grapplehawk (again, a generic pet for any faction) bundled with an Ash Wastes Nomad character. It sucks that if you want either of those pets and don't collect the relevant faction, you either convert your own of buy a more expensive kit and have to sell the rest.

 

Now we've got a wyrd that's available for any faction bundled with Delaque pets, so if you only want the pets or you only want the wyrd you're stuck trying to get rid of the rest. 

 

Edit: scratch that, fourth time. They did the same with cyber-mastiffs ages ago, releasing the only cyber-mastiff with an Orlock character. Less of an issue as for a while cyber-mastiffs were Orlock only, and they have since released cyber-mastiffs in a different Orlock set as well. Still sucks if you play a non-Orlock faction and want hacked cyber-mastiffs.

Look, I say this about every side game, including Age of Sigmar, but that would make a great model/base for a conversion for an Inquisitor and/or Inquisitorial retinue.

Would make a good IG/AM psyker or chaos witch as well. Might have to make my first forge world purchase.

I think this one would make a great Chaos witch. Makes me wish we had more comprehensive datasheets for mortals in the Chaos books.

Modelling some lightning running down her torn sleeve with a little OSL would look cool

Love the Van Saar ash wastes upgrades. Will be getting those ASAP.

Quite - 100 credits for no armour save, an intelligence bonus(but only available to gangers with good int) and an S1 seismic bomb that goes off when the owner dies is never gonna be more useful than the 3 juves you could buy.
