I was off by a bit. The truck is indeed AUD$150, but the book is AUD$84, the gang is AUD$74 and the trailers are an insane AUD$100 each.

Thank the Emperor for places that do 25% off, hey?

[EDIT]: Holy Hannah! You wanna pay AUD$43 for four pintle-mounted heavy stubbers?

Just what is the minimum wage down there in Australia?!?

$21/hr

How many trailers can each Ridgehauler pull?

4 I think was mentioned in one of the articles?

I would hope that they'd eventually do a convoy box, like they did with the terrain boxes, that has, say, a truck and two trailers for some level of discount. That might be worth it.

Not much reason to take Heavy Stub over grenade launcher or storm bolter anyway, unless special weapon restriction.

Would be nice if the gunner also come with legs, so people can mount them on the back of their DIY vehicle.

That'd be a further AUD$43 for the "leg" sprue.

That cheap??? Git outta 'ere...

The gunner from the ridgehauler sprue has legs

Interestingly, despite the artwork in previews (and at many stockists) showing the second release Orlock gang cards, this release is the original set of Orlock cards. So if you missed 'em the first time around - and that'd be pretty easy given they sold out in about 8.3 nanoseconds - maybe you can get 'em this time.

[EDIT]: Sprues & Brews have their coverage of the new book up.

I am very happy to find this in there:

Outland Beastmasters (Millisaurs and Ripperjacks!)
Old school Necromunda fans will be excited to see the return of Outland Beastmasters and their various animal companions! This also hopefully means we will see Forge World models for these guys soon too! Each beastmaster can pick one of 3 Exotic Beasts (Rats, Millisaurs and Ripperjacks) and can have up to 3 of them at a time (With them having the option of buying replacements if they ever have less than 3 at the start of the post battle sequence). Rats basically get a free replacement at the end of the battle if they die, Millisuars can move under impassable terrain, and Ripperjacks can move over any other terrain, never fall and can drop the initiative of anyone they are engaged with.

100% going to have to add these to my gangs!

YES!

I am a little disappointed that neither the hanger on nor the brute of the nomads have a drawing

If they draw them then The 3rd party crowd release stuff before GW can.

showing drawings is something they have done in almost all of their books, even for miniatures that have taken years . Another thing is that they then change the design. (there is a drawing of beastmaster, and who knows when we will have a miniature.)

When they talked about a big bug, I was thinking of using alarielle's, but seeing the profile it will be too big. Now I have no idea what to use.

Ash waste nomad champs have access to force field!



Look like promethium tank is this piece.

I hope that's not the actual trailer they're going to release, I was hoping for a proper tanker trailer.

Squat size (from electriceve on Twitter):

Not thrilled about those proportions. Place them next to a human in proper modern GW scale and they're looking fairly massive. Oh well.

From Necromunda, the game with the Champagne aspirations and a de-alcoholized beer production budget.

Doesn’t look like a tank to me, with the cover over it. Might just be depicting random cargo.

Yeah my hopes for 25mm bases are crushed.

I mean I would prefer the mini to be, maybe 15% smaller but I can live with it.

Thank you! Still doesn't really explain GW's rather bonkers AUS pricing though...

Spoiler:

Looks OK, I guess, but almost the size of what Exo-Armor should (?) be - maybe?

That's... something, alright,

So Book of the Outlands includes all the vehicle rules…?!? Did GW make a mistake and accidentally make the Ash Wastes core book optional?

Sure seems that way. They also put two full gangs into one book, at the same time.

Now won't get "Book of Bikes", "Book of Big Rigs", and so on.

Relative corporate generosity can mean only one thing... a new edition to invalidate everything is on the way.

Just in time to base everything on a modified Kill Teams system.

Modified such that they use exactly the same shapes and colours for movement, but in a different order! (And still not in the logical progression based on number of sides of each shape)

It seems you're assuming this book won't be superseded in 6 months

You took the words right off of my keyboard!

Size comparison. I still think they should have been smaller but I'll definitely buy some as I like the look of the kit I can tell these will be very enjoyable to paint.

Hm, going by mass alone they seem to be twice as big as a human...

25mm ogryn it is.

Not sure what people were expecting then? They’re squats, not halflings. And they’re pretty universally wearing bulky armour. We already know from the open-masked helms that they have a bunch of extra padding in there; I assume this is because their greatest threat is normally rockfall rather than being shot. No reason that can’t apply to the rest of the suit.

I think the missing clue is in the name's meaning and the recent cover art.

Squat

ADJECTIVE

short and thickset; disproportionately broad or wide:

Now I fully admit we haven't seen a full frontal scale shot next to a normal human (though I suppose someone could photoshop it into the Mk VI comparison pic above) so we don't know for sure but they seem a tiny bit shorter than a normal human (ganger/guardsmen/cultist/whatever) but not a full head and they're definitely thicccer (triple c instead of the art's double). I actually like the models FWIW and the scale bump is ok with me given the 30+ year gap inbetween the prior squats (BL and FW specialty models notwithstanding) but they resemble smaller ogryn to me personally instead of upsized dwarves. Regardless, I'm interested in seeing the 40k versions for RPG purposes where scale won't matter as much.
