Nah, me neither. Mostly because it isn't generic enough to buy multiple sets. The gothic shit is just too over the top for me.
I feel like this should be renamed as "Boiler Room Battle: Meh".

That picture looks very cool. I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what is in the box.

More info- I bet this thing is imminent- within the next month.

You’ll be able to expand your game with extra models for the two squads in the box, or even add whole new races. The Kill Teams are all designed to be built around squads in an army you might already have, or can pick-up in a single boxed set. Here are a few of the units that you will be able to use, in case you wanted to get started building and painting now:

Skitarii Rangers
Chaos Space Marines
Cultists
Dark Eldar Wyches
Dire Avengers
Eldar Guardians
Harlequin Troupe
Grey Knights Strike Squad
Necron Immortals
Necron Warriors
Tau Empire Pathfinder Team
Tyranid Warrior Brood
Neophyte Hybrids
Scouts
Scouts with sniper rifles
Cadian Infantry Squad
Ork Boyz


There's my Genestealer Cults...looks like I'll be in the market for a Pathfinder box...already have Cultists (Execution Force)...may dip into Necrons too...

I really like that it is made so that you can buy a box unit and that's what you need. I hope it really is like that and stays like that.

Skitarii Rangers and not Vanguard, Ruststalkers, Infiltrators? I would have thought the Ruststalkers/Infiltrators would maybe be too powerful, but they have Tyranid Warriors and Grey Knights as available. The Ruststalkers/Infiltrators also fit this style of combat better than the mass battle stuff.

Looks I could field a lot of that with what I currently have floating around or stuff in the main release (at least everything but the Eldar and Grey Knights).

I have 40-50-ish Necron Warriors if anyone is interested in getting a minimum squad whenever we know more specifics. I might also have a spare squad of Immortals too.

I will hit you up on that when we have an idea of what you can field.

Necrons. Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that they would fit within a progressive campaign type of game. Not that I am complaining, since necrons are the one army I have owned since 3rd.

I think I'll just go 'counts as' with this game. I own a dozen new plastic wraithguard, as the love affair is strong with those models, and will have to be a part of the game.

I find it interesting they pick pathfinder over fire warriors. I was just considering taking one of them just for painting...

Well they did say "some" of the available choices so it is likely that Fire Warriors will make the cut, especially since they have a couple of choices for SMS, Eldar and Necron, for example.

Also, I think it shows a Fire Warrior in the video.

Hopefully Doc puts it up for pre-order soon. So the starter boxes out now will all work and continue to work? Weren't they upgrading the scale to 32mm later this year? Or are they already at it? I have never went down the dark path of buying starter boxes or anything like that.

Very, very interested! I love Necromunda! I'll probably be going Eldar Dire Avengers or Dark Eldar Wyches.

MSRP is $130...which is oddly both $20 less than and $20 more than I expected.

That puts the price pretty close to their true starters (not special starter sets like the 40k campaign stuff), which seems reasonable as we get 20-30 figures and a decent amount of terrain plus the full rules.

I'm definitely in for at least one set, possibly more if the terrain is super modular.

When I get it, I am putting the terrain up on the sellers block. Maybe even all models.

Though if it comes with barrels or other such terrain, I'll keep those.

I just want the rules, markers and box essentially. Let me know if there is a want for that.

As I plan on getting the set myself, I might be interested in additional terrain. I really won't need more scouts/boyz though.
