Necromunda Wishlisting (neither news nor rumour)

Hush your noise and work harderer.

There. Who says I have no management skills.

Sorry I was wrong.
I'm now upto 4. Your management is clearly working

[Mr Mystery]

I'd be OK with fairly basic, Chaos Cultist style sculpts for the boxed game, if that allows the budget to really cane the scenery.

The 40k stuff is nice and all, decent sculpts, reasonable price given the quantity and quality, but Necromunda needs more than just hollowed out buildings.

For a game where LoS plays such a large traditional role (the original plastic bulkheads offered interesting play options) you really need the terrain to be flexible.

[Psychosplodge]

Some sort of slotable STC system? Where standard sized floors and bulkheads can be rearranged within a frame?

[Mr Mystery]

That could be cool. And likely prove popular for crossing over into 40k.

Just as long as whatever it turns out to be is more robust than the original Necromunda terrain.

[Psychosplodge]

Yes it soon started to look tatty.

[Mr Mystery]

Was good for its time like, but time does have a habit of moving on.

Long as I can have gantries, walkways and ramps, I'll be a happy camper.

[Mr Mystery]

I'm wondering what sort of price point we might see for Necromunda.

See, I don't expect it to contain more than a couple of Gangs, perhaps with some weapon variety.

So this might mean we'd expect it to be less than Betrayal At Calth's rather hefty £95.00. After all, that's absolutely stuffed to the gunnels with models - one of the main reasons it was so well received (the other of course is that compared to the resin alternative, it's stonking value)

But then, as discussed at length already, the main player in Necromunda is the scenery.

The original set came with three decent sized buildings of (most importantly) varying dimensions and lay out, plus numerous walkways and gantries and that.

So the [url=http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Imperial-Sector]Imperial Sector[/url] set seems the closest modern day equivalent. It's a discounted collection of already 'actually quite cheap for what you get' buildings which can be assembled as you so wish. £70.00 all in.

Yet.....when it comes to our boxed or otherwise starter sets, we're well used to be thoroughly spoiled in terms of value - so it seems we could expect more.

Me? Nominal price limit is a nice, round £100.00, provided I get two Gangs with some options (doesn't have to be comprehensive, other opinions are available and just as valid) and scenery equivalent to the Imperial Sector in scale, with additional barricades and walkways. Oh, and the rules. They're kind of necessary!

But do be sure that that's my price limit. I'd of course be happy with less - I'm not insane. But anymore than that and the boxed set would have to be truly, indisputably mega in terms of volume and quality of content.
