Necromunda News From Open Day

By Juan Lopez | January 8th, 2018 | Categories: Miniature Wargaming News & Rumors, Necromunda

Necromunda Game Post hor walGames Workshop and Forge World both have big plans for Necromunda. Come check out the latest announcements from New Year’s Open Day.

Games Workshop and Forge World had a lot to reveal about their plans for Necromunda, and also showed off a lot of the new minis during the New Year’s Open Day event. Let’s see what Garro had to say about the latest information on Necromunda, and take a look at some of the pictures that were spotted on La Voz De Horus.

Editor’s Note: Just wanted to give a special congratulations to Garro for reaching 3,000 likes on his Facebook page in under two years! If you haven’t already, head over to his page and drop him a like/follow to show him some support.

last new details about Necromunda releases before the weekender next month

Orlock models, dice,tactic cards,gang war 2, and the new tiles will be on sale/pre-order 2nd half of febuary.

of the six new named bounty hunters in GW2, 3 have finished, models as already shown, the other three are in production.

Regarding resin weapons kits, FW are going a little overboard (in a very good way). Eschers are getting three packs. each pack has different weapons to each other and will fully convert a 10 pack of minis. these will be roughly even mixes, I.E. half close range, half long ranged like the plastics. these are lots of new guns (needle pistols and rifles, flamers, plasma guns, melta guns, 2 different heavy stubbers were all named) and some variants of existing ones (right or left handed versions of weapons on plastic). most if not all weapons in these packs will be added to the gangs ‘house lists’. Goliaths and orlocks have several packs each in the works as well. These weapons kits will start being seen at the HH/N weekender next month, and one or two MIGHT be on limited sale there, if they get production on time.

the mystery of ‘page 5’ is that it is a piece of artwork, containing MAJOR SPOILERS for an upcoming release, a section of the ‘named characters’ section in the back of the book is also blocked out as well and is the same spoiler.

the three WD gangs are expected to be all out by summer, the articles are all written, but final scheduling is up to the WD team rather than specialist games, and SG wouldn’t be drawn on issues or order as WD might change it due to reasons. quick recap, these WD gangs are a genestealer cult Neophyte gang, chaos cults, and a bounty hunters gang.

Gang War 3 will be out in the summer, alongside the 4th house (no confirmation of which house it will be, and don’t believe anyone who says otherwise). GW3 will have new scenarios, characters and a massively increased trading post containing practically every Imperial weapon in 40k ATM, with some obvious exclusions (custodes and Primaris stuff ect). based on the references of which factions where name checked and the like, this trading post list could very easily be well be nearly 200 weapons if not more.

Games Workshop and Forge World definitely have some big plans for Necromunda. We’re going to be seeing Orlock and Gang Wars 2 going available for pre-order the second half of February, new resin weapon kits from Forge World, three gangs coming out by summer, followed by Gang Wars 3 which is projected to have a summer release as well as a fourth house.

Thanks for all of the great information from the event Garro, and congratulations on your 3,000 likes once again.
