Games Workshop have unveiled their latest gang for Necromunda - and it's the formerly techno-enhanced House Van Saar. Having a look at these minis, you can see how these are going to be popular with customisers - especially people interested in making their own Assassins - those dynamic legs, unusual weapons and some techno heads that would be perfect. The legs and arms are also great for Guard or Security Teams for Necromunda or even the upcoming Kill Team! If you look closely you will also see the clear combat shield which will be very sought after for sure! Certainly a lot of potential and the chatter here today has been very much on conversions - and how we all wouldn't use the bare human heads!
In the old Necromunda there were some very cyber-enhanced Van Saar - mainly the Heavies - so it will be interesting to see if we get those too.
Now the elephant in the room with these minis is how they are really quite similar to the Corvus Belli Infinity range - from the pipes and hoses to the tactical suits and poses that are a lot more modern military than sci-fi that GW usually produce. We contacted Corvus Belli today and will keep the correspondence to ourselves, but there certainly seemed to be some amusement from them at this release.

Speaking of Kill Team...!
As we mentioned, Kill Team is coming back and it looks really great too. Not only did almost everyone get a nice new paint job for this video - except the Tau of course - but there is new large urban terrain! As you will see, it is multi-level and designed by the same team behind the current range of Sector Mechanicus kits.
This certainly seems to have a more RPG sound to it, with squad progression and customisation, so almost like a twist on Necromunda, but maybe a little more involved. Maybe this is how GW will head with their games - have 40k for the large games and then have something like this with the RPG element like Rogue Stars or other games like that in the market.
