>Opening it up, we can see the box is packed with stuff. There are no less than 6 Reaver Jetbikes and 10 Hellion skyboarders in there. Even for the models alone, this set is a great deal and a perfect place to start for anyone wanting to collect an airborne force from the Dark City.

>The idea with this box, though, is that these form rival gangs that will battle for supremacy and loot though the spires of the Dark Eldar’s decadent capital. Speaking of which, you get some spires – cardboard pinnacles of Commorragh’s many towers that your gang can expertly weave around (or, if you’re unlucky – collide with…)

>The game itself is entirely self-contained set, and all the rules you need to play are in the box. There is a quick start guide for those who want to get battling straight away, quick reference cards for both players, and a more detailed rulebook for those who want even more depth to their games, including expansive rules for a campaign.

>Gangs of Commorragh really comes into its own in campaign play. Each warrior can advance, gain skills and be equipped with all the usual wargear you’d expect from Reavers or Hellions. While the customisation of individual models is high, the campaign mechanics themselves are simple and scalable, allowing anything from a couple to dozens of participants, making it ideal for a gaming club.

>For those who want, you can also expand your murder-pack into a more powerful gang with more Hellions and Reavers from the Dark Eldar range (though you get easily enough to start off with in the box, with models to spare in both gangs).

Looks like shit.

I can see those. Obviously you know the rules already, that's why you can clearly tell it's going to be shit before any of us even get a look at the rulebook, right? I mean you seem so definitive so you must have insight the rest of us dont. Right?

Get the fuck out.

It doesn't look like anything special. Call me when they have something that offers as much conversion potential and customization as Necromunda, with non garbage rules to boot.

Please stop. They are crap. This is what good boxed game terrain looks like.

They're both crap. GW used to have boxes that gave you full plastic terrain.

Looks cool to me. I'll play it.

Not him, but most of GW's box games that have cardboard pieces use really nice cardboard

So how good would boxed games like this be for getting people into Warhammer? I know Space Hulk and Blood Bowl are known to be good, but are they decently beginner friendly?
As well, is Space Crusade good? It sounded kind of fun from what i've read of it.

>>51140265
Necromunda won't be brought back because its models would need an update, and the models would not be useful in 40k. And every single board game that has been launched has been focused on models that can be a gateway into an army for either Fantasy or 40k.

And you already knew that anon. Stop lying to yourself.

>>51140299
>is Space Crusade good?
yeah

>I know Space Hulk and Blood Bowl are known to be good, but are they decently beginner friendly?
yep

a new space crusade would be super sweet, but I doubt it'll ever happen

>>51140318
Is there somewhere I can get the rules for all the old specialist games? Preferably outside the 40k general.
As well, could I use the Space Hulk terrain for Space Crusade?

>>51140402
You could buy the games. They're all pretty well-priced. None are even expensive, considering their contents.

>>51140402
>Is there somewhere I can get the rules for all the old specialist games?
most of them are widely available because GW released the rules for most, completely free online

for the board games you might have to google a bit harder, but you can usually get complete scans fairly easily because the fanbase does that stuff

>could I use the Space Hulk terrain for Space Crusade?
for custom missions? sure, but the space crusade boards are a bit more open (and use two-tile-wide hallways)

>>51140278
This is one of the reasons I am looking forward to it. GW is exploring more of the 40k universe outside of the imperium, and I feel they need to be rewarded for that. It just makes it easier that I am starting a DE force.

Hey, as long as hellions are good in this game, then I am fucking on board. They are among my most favorite models in the entire range, and i cry whenever i field them on the table.

GIVE ME A REASON TO PLAY THESE BEAUTIFUL MODELS, GW! GIVE ME 1 GOOD REASON!

I'd much rather be on the jet ski team than the wake board guys

>>51141709
Fuck man, I would be those wakeboard guys for you and we could totally see who rules the spires in commorragh.

Here's hoping white dwarf provides rules for scourges? That mitebcool

I think it looks nifty. Not a deldar guy but I might grab it.

Also, I've heard that grils like deldar so maybe I can get my wife hooked on the plasticrack, then I'll have someone to play with and she might understand the hobby.

Because I have literally no friends in the hobby anymore

:(

>>51137446
HELLIONZ HI-CITY MASTER ELITE

REAVER SHITBIKE 4EVER 2SLOW

>>51141840
Actually I've heard something similar. Girls either play tyranids or dark eldar. Have no idea why.

But warn her about DE, because they are not a forgiving army to play and not as friendly for new players.

>>51140085
can't say for sure but thats what this looks like so far. new necromunda. but in commaragh with deldar gangs instead.

>>51141886
I wouldnt expect necromunda depth in gameplay, but probably closer to GW kill-team depth in campaigning. Like you can give some of your dudes special rules and some wargear. We will see.

>>51141873
>not a forgiving army to play and not as friendly for new players

Don't worry, neither is my wife...

>>51141998
ooooooooooooooooooh!

>>51141949
>Each warrior can advance, gain skills and be equipped with all the usual wargear you’d expect from Reavers or Hellions

sounds like necromunda to me.

>>51142091
or gorkamorka, or kill-team, or pretty much any skirmish game on the market with a campaign system right now.

I'm just saying don't expect Necromunda. I doubt it will have that depth in a campaign system especially for a rulebook that's only saddle stapled, and not perfect bound (ie it's too few pages to be anything significant)

>>51142157
gorkamorka was the same system as necromunda.

kill team doesn't have advancement or skills.

>>51139981
If its the same cardboard from burning of Prospero then its good quality cardstock.

>>51142186
Regardless, there is no way we are getting gorkamunda tier campaign rules when the rulebook is that thin.

>and the models would not be useful in 40k
Or, if GW had any shred of sense left, they would do what they did back when Necromunda was thing and promote necromunda guardsmen and include guides in codicies on how to use necromunda parts to convert cool looking models for other factions, like they did previously. For example, Sister Sabine from an Escher in pic related, which is from the Sisters of Battle 2E codex.

>>51137456
to be honest i would be more interested if they had stolen xwings system. its a good one.

>>51140311
As an owner of a few hundred Escher models I can assure you this is not true.

>>51141662
I play them all the time... as beastmasters

So do we have any idea about when this will be coming out?

>>51142292
...Which encourages people to buy models from other ranges in a way that is not as direct as 'make whatever new range the only thing that's useful.' Clever.

Only flaw I can see in that from a business perspective is that friends might just give each other spare bits, or you can't guarantee interest in getting whole models just for some conversions.

>>51142779
probably only a few weeks if they're revealing it now.
I wouldn't be surprised if it goes up fro preorder in 2 weeks after the tzeentch stuff.

ANON! snap out of it!

>>51142942
That looks like half plastic terrain to me. A little worse for wear, too - can't believe they ship it out like that.

>>51138288
But without Dredd there would be no Necromunda. It's like a 28mm gritty gang based game ouroboros

>>51137456
If they copied X-Wing, then maybe GW would finally produce a good game.

More seriously, this is the first time I'm seeing this and I hope it's good. It will still likely be way overpriced tho.

>>51143357
eh. lately the boardgames have been decently priced. The knight one was close to half price knights if i remeber right.

>>51140311

That's not stopping LotR/Hobbit, Bloodbowl, or Adeptus Titanicus.

FW could bring back Necromunda if they wanted to, but they have a lot on their plate at the moment between 40k, HH, AoS, LotR/Hobbit, BB, and Titanicus.

>>51137446
What's the box price vs standard price for the models? I seem to remember in Aus that reavers are like $58 per 3 models, and hellions aren't cheap either.

>>51140311
>Necromunda won't be brought back because its models would need an update, and the models would not be useful in 40k.

They can be used as Auxillia in 30k just fine.

>>51146569
The point of the release is to push the models, which isn't that strange seeing as how reavers are probably the best unit in the DE codex and hellions are one of the worst. Hence why they're being offered 10 per set.

>>51146612
>>51146597
still better than cardboard.

The scenery is really disappointing not necessarily because its cardboard cutouts but because the scale is poor. There isn't even a base for it.

Not than this. Although it is plastic/cardboard hybrid.

>Blood Bowl

Blood Bowl... Blood Bowl is, like an abusive husband.
It's not Blood Bowls fault I rolled a 1 when trying to go for it into the endzone. I should have known better than to try and actually score. I should have scored earlier than turn 8.
It's not Blood Bowls fault that my Kroxigor rolled his Bonehead, I shouldn't be touching the Kroxigor anyway, it's his job to provide tackle zones and a prehensile tail aura.
It's my fault that my Werewolf rolled double skulls when blocking the Halfling. I'd been rolling far to well in previous turns and I was getting cocky and I deserved it.

I've been playing Blood Bowl for 8 years.

>>51138240

You're an idiot.

Do we have a price yet?

It looks kind of neat.

>>51147353

>>51147353

>>51141840

I would trade all my friends in this hobby

for a wife

:(

I might buy one just for the minis if it's a good deal. I know Hellions suck in the game but I have almost the entire DE range anyways.

>>51147821

What are you missing in your collection

>>51147821
Same story here dude, all I'm missing is voidraven bomber and like 3 HQs.

>>51147471
hmm over 200pln, I would love to buy box or two if we can drop to 180. Gotta check prices to be sure but I think 5 helions were around 75. Jetbikes were more expensive. So maybe its a good deal in the end.

>>51147471
that's almost good deal for 6 reavers and ten hellions. throw in baron and duke sliscus and it would have been awesome

Going to pick up one for sure.
Skirmish is perfect for Deldar and I'm a sucker for campaign systems.

Hope it's successful and gets support from GW. We are in dire need of Xenos terrain and if it does well a plastic Spire expansion could be possible.

I love Scourges.

If that's true it's quite the deal, just hope the rules are good.

I'll be your friend anon. If your in VA. Within 30 minutes drive. And your not a creeper or some shit

Looks awesome.

Small scale skirmish games with campaigns and progression?

Sign me the fuck up.

(Wish they just re-released Gorkamorka though....)

>>51148933
They are 1W models without 2+ saves. Don't see why you couldn't?

>>51149143

I've not read the rules at all so I've no idea, just vaguely interested in KIll Team.

>>51148606
>thinks mainstream boardgames weren't a part of GW's core strategy in the past.
Most of mainstream boardgames are holded by FFG now, GW will never dare to make straight competitor for them (because it will be waste of resources), so we will not going to see BFG in the near future.

>>51150542
the 40k FFG games are going OOP. if GW want to make proper boardgames they can.

also BFG was specifically mentioned as coming back when they announced the return of specialist games.

>>51150542
As far as I can tell, there are major boardgames, and minor ones.

Major boardgames would include
>space hulk
>bloodbowl
>warhammer quest
>BFG
>necromunda
>the HH ones

Minor boardgames would be
>lost patrol
>stormcloud attack
>gangs of commorragh
>gorechosen

The big difference between a minor boardgame and a major one is the major ones are getting new and unique models and sculpts. They are ones that are planned to be supported with an entire model range, or used to kick off a new model range.

They can release these minor boardgames whenever because they cost very little to produce (seeing how they use existing models and sculpts) and therefor cost little for customers.

But since the major boardgames are a big deal, they aren't going to release one at least until the enthusiasm for the last one died down. So IF bfg is the next major boardgame, we won't be seeing it at least until the bloodbowl hype has died down, then BFG will get a new range (or existing one if the molds are still good) of models and for a few months get new models for the common gothic sector races.
