    😂 not the most professional or planned unboxing but any means, the gang was sat in the cabinet opposite my hobby table and I got over excited! It’s funny what jumps out at you when you flick through a book.

    A little disappointed with this one. I don't look at it as an expansion, thats for Outlands book. This is a standalone box with new campaign mechanics added. There are no rules for any other gangs outside of whats contained in the box (save for an explanation of vehicle stats/mechanics). There are no missed opportunities with GW, this is just another opportunity to milk more money out of you. Outside of the lacklustre book, the Orlock sprue is a great example. Even though the upgrade sprues are being moved over to plastic, FW release a resin upgrade kit for Orlocks containing respirators, backpacks etc in time for the Ash Wastes release. That was a calculated move. The same goes for the tactics cards. These could easily have been included in the box, but no, they're a separate release. On face value its a decent box, but even by GW standards this is bordering on misselling if its being marketed as an expansion. The expansion will be the Outlands book, whenever that appears. Pretty predatory if you ask me. That being said, at least the new terrain and Nomads are nice.

    It’s absolutely a stand alone box, they’ve definitely gone for the ‘rule book then get the add ons’ approach with this. There is a lot of great stuff in here but also a lot of lazy frustrations, this box set could have been perfect with a bit more effort. My main gripe is that mat/playing surface, it’s terrible. Main love is the scenery it’s great.

    @@adamshobbystuff The terrain is gorgeous. Already got my callipers out on it and Blender fired up to make some bits for it. Lots of scope for expanding on this and making a real settlement out of it. The only thing that mat is good for is a painting guide for your bases/terrain. I had a feeling they might go down the paper route when I first saw the contents revealed. Pretty sad.

    That would swing the opinion on the box for certain, I really like the terrain so that’s great for me. The terrain is much more sturdy than some photos would suggest and although pricey is some of the more interesting scenery GW has come up with.

    I genuinely think that if they had given us a decent game board, ditched the scatter terrain and put some orlock heads in, this box set would have been the best Necromunda (or to be honest total GW) set yet. I love so much of this set. Unfortunately they didn’t do that so it’s a near miss for me. Still a great set but not spot on. I didn’t really talk too much about cost with this video as to be honest at this point pretty much everything GW release is hard to justify in real world terms. But I agree, for £180 rrp there shouldn’t be cop out elements in the box.

    @@adamshobbystuff i’ve still got dark uprising boxed and sealed, to me that was probably near perfect set and value but i dunno whether to crack it open and enjoy or sell it on. I don’t really play necromunda much anymore but i love the lore and aesthetics. Was even contemplating selling or trading it for ashen wastes , those ash nomads would make perfect chaos cultists too.

    In terms of getting used if you don’t play with it I’d personally say sell it and get something you’ll use. I have always painted a lot of figures and for me the joy is primarily in the building and painting. I do play a fair amount but I do find that once I’ve finished a project I almost only play enough games so I can justify selling it and starting something new! I once painted and sold the exact same Roman force 5 times over the course of a campaign as at the time it was the only system my gaming group was really into 😂
