Yup the one thing I’ve noticed from the previews is that there’s only three bodies seen so far (GW usually do five in their Necromunda releases so that the two sprues give you ten figures in a box). The only other box that had just three torsos was the Palanite Subjugators box that gave you six figures in the box. So not sure if it’s just going to be the six figures in the box (that would be amazingly poor value), perhaps twelve (although that one is unlikely as it makes “sense” to have large numbers of figures in a box for low points cost gangers), or perhaps there’s more yet to be seen that might appear in the box release.

Not sure what this Outcast book is going to contain (the cover shows one outcast and two previously released forge world Hired Guns. I hope they aren’t going to be completely lazy and just do the Venators (They added a Bounty Hunter gang made up of Hired Guns because no-one was buying the figures from Forge World as the Hired Guns rules just don’t work in a campaign setting) as an “Outlaw” gang (same rules, just means they use a different table to buy equipment). I just can’t see how they are going to fill up an entire book based on a “Hive Scum” style of gang (again these count as Hired Guns (of a sort) and again nobody uses them in campaigns as they are an “experience black hole” and don’t advance like normal gang members).

I was REALLY hoping we might see the Scavvy gang appear finally (my favourite gang from the 90s Necromunda), and dreading them adding either Ratskins or Spyrers (although the latter is lobbied by the playerbase quite a bit as they were totally OP in the 90s version of the game (Space Marine players used Spyrers, and Eldar players played Van Saar 😀 ).
