Squats Preview

Spoiler:

**Alpharius**

Have there been any scale shots of the new Squats next to existing miniatures?

How squat are these Squats?

**warboss**

Good question. From just the pics on the bases, they look more like 30mm ogryn rather than short squat humans.

Not that I've seen.

Well, they're on 28mm bases from the looks of things...but the helmets are huge and make them look a bit weirder than they probably will look in person.

**Geifer**

They look similar to Kharadron. Similar proportions and leg length, I'd say. I'd expect the Necromunda Squats to looked dwarf sized. They'd be embiggened compared to GW dwarfs from fifteen or more years ago (because dwarfs have knees now) but in line the the last wave of dwarfs (Ironbreakers and Longbeards) from Fantasy and the current AoS dwarf models.

Goodies up for pre-order next week.

Ooh cool. I have a spare book of the outcast that needs converting to something useful

**Kid_Kyoto**

Only 8 squats in a box?

So they're shorter and you get fewer of them?!

I wonder what the truck will go for? Hoping for ~$50, thinking ~$75, fearing ~$100.

Mildly annoyed the gunners might be a separate kit.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Gunners separate for the Trailers only. Still an odd choice.

**beefeb**

gunners on pintle mount a separate cost addition....thats too much, they are effectively selling an incomplete kit, red card GW

**Haighus**

Well, the containers come with Stormbolters and the stubbers are 130 creds each. Not sure how many gangs could afford stubbers on each trailers, and the Stormbolters are cheaper.

**Chairman Aeon**

I’d be good with Van Saar grav-cutters becoming actual wargear/vehicles that the whole gang could take…

Looks like the front of the train comes with the gunners, but they're sold on their own for the trailers.

**Flinty**

While they probably should also come with the trailer pack, selling the separately does make sense due to the existing stock of munitorum containers out there that could use the upgrade.

**Dysartes**

I find it interesting that neither the Cargo-8 truck nor trailer explicitly stated that they come with the container shown...

Having said that, the barrel & crates on the images imply that it does.

**Ancient Otter**

Is it a straight reprint of the previous Orlok gang tactics or will the this be the third edition of them?

I don't know, but we've had reprints of old cards before, so I imagine this is a reprint.

**lord_blackfang**

Given the price of the habs, I'd put good money on the full Hauler (Cab, 4 trailers, 4 gunners) being more expensive than the Horus Heresy box

**JWBS**

Hauler box looks like it's sold w/o trailer. If this is correct, it means that the box is hauler (including cab and container), and to add a trailer you're buying two haulers and leaving the cab off the second one.

I suspect the truck bed is one sprue, with the cab being a separate sprue. Otherwise why release the trailer separately at all?

**JWBS**

Ah yes, didn't realise there is a separate trailer release.

**NAVARRO**

Nice!!!! Get me some of those miners!

**Flinty**

Hmm. Looks like one of the AOS releases could be dual use with Necromunda with those flying bug things

**Mr_Rose**

Maybe they’ll sell a “complete land train” set with cab, three cars (engine+2× trailers) and three munitorum containers along side separate cab and trailer sets?

At no discount, but you do save yourself 3 clicks so y'know there's that.

Time is money!

Might be a reprint + the cards out of Ash Wastes.

Ahhhh, yes that makes more sense..ta

**privateer4hire**

Since this was probably lost with the new thread, Old Hammered shows a cool kitbash option for about $17 when I priced them on amazon. He kept his final version a little less weathered and clean than many of us would go with but some grime, dust and rust effects will help if you decide to make your own.

Here’s his video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DKlyKipmtjwWe

Search for Green Toys Car Carrier if you want to use the same basic vehicle he used.

**H.B.M.C.**

So no fuel tank part for the trailer?

I'm wondering if they're re-cut the sprue.

The container sprue has 3 barrels and 4 crates. Each of those pictures shows 1 barrel and 2 crates. Now it could be nothing, but it's weird that both pictures show the same extra bits.
