Whilst Necromunda goes from strength to strength, personally feel these new rules have just opened new rules to be adopted for the Gorkamorka Community Edition. Really sold on the Squats, not so much the Exo Driller.
So there's no rules for Atalan Jackal bikes, only the Wolfquads? That's annoying I wanted a gang of bikers, guess I'd have to make them all custom light vehicles?
The Wasteland Workshop just sold this for me. It reminds me of the build your own vehicle rules from the 1st Chapter Approved book for 3rd edition 40K. Great review, thanks for posting.
I am so excited for this week's pre-orders! I literally bought the book of the outlands and the squats kit in less than two minutes after pre-orders opened lol. Thanks for skimming through the book and getting me even more hyped for next weekend!
I'm Orlocking up a rockgrinder just now ready for the book arriving. Orlock heavyweapons all have pintle mounts which I thought was a really cool design feature. Do they fit on any vehicle pintles? No... I will persevere with modifying some mounts with styrene. Also get to dig out a buggy I made from a landspeeder storm many years ago for the older Ash Waste rules. Overall I'm pretty excited for the Outlands book.
The Squat helmets were off for me at the start, but the more I saw them, the more I liked their utilitarian design as they're integrated into the suit making them ill fitting. So if Jeff the Squat eats a Van Saar plasma blast to his face, all they did was scrap him out, then hand the suit to his cousin, Jeffery the Squat. I really love those vehicle rules, lets you make your own Mad Max train/truck caravan.
The only reason I can think of the leaders having lower movement is if living ancestors are still a thing. Dwarf psykers and leaders were the oldest in their societies right ?
This is my favourite thing GW have ever put out. It just looks so much fun to throw together vehicles and have games. So hyped for my copy and to get kitbashing.
No-one has made clear yet - long rifles for ash wastes nomads. Are there any numbers restrictions for a starting gang, as there were loads in the starting box
