Games Workshop pulled the covers off the newest expansion for Necromunda in two places at once! Come see the latest from both.
Warhammer 40k Open day is happening today in Nottingham at Warhammer World, and we’ve collected up the very best coverage from the web and put it side by side with the big reveals from Warhammer community.
Warhammer 40k Open Day
Here’s the big reveal by GW, and then we’ll checkout the models IRL from the event itself:
Firstly, some news from the underhive. We told you that the clan houses will all be re-entering the underhive in time, and we’ll be seeing the first of them in early 2018 with the Orlocks.
The Orlocks will be released alongside Gang War 2; the second instalment in the Gang War series. For starters, this will contain the rules for founding and playing with your Orlock gang as well as their various new weapons and gadgets, hiring the aforementioned Hive Scum, as well as a wealth of other content to suit any Necromunda player, like using the new Badzone Delta gaming tiles:
Now let’s go to the event itself and get a closer look at all the new shiny!
First off news from the floor that gangs will be releases roughly once per quarter starting with Orlocks in February of 2018, in better Special Character releases (Similar to Blood Bowl).
- Q1: Orlocks
- Q2: Van Saar
- Q3: Cawdor
- Q4: Delaque
