I’d expect to see it at the end of the year perhaps with two gangs that will be supplemented much in he same way as Blood Bowl. I still believe that Necromunda will come out, hopefully with all the character that is missing from this release. Test the waters and time it with a new scenery range to boot. No, better to release something that can be used with the models that people already own. Problem is how do you make money from it? Once you sell the box and the gang isn’t that your lot? Also the cost of producing all new plastic ganger sprues is most prohibitive, eight gangs, two sprues for each (one for gangers and juves and one for heavies special weapons and leaders) and you are looking at quite the outlay. People wanted Necromunda, well all the old crusty gamers like me who played it first time round did anyway. It may borrow the rules but Necromunda this aint.Īnd THAT is the biggest problem with Shadow Wars Armageddon, it ISN’T necromunda. I feel it may well be a problem going forward. There are also no rules for underdogs that I could see so an advanced band versus a new one could be a big issue, indeed with the sprawl of races in 40k I would be very interested to see how they handle game balance. You pay for them with Promethium reserves as credits are a no no but as the only way to win the campaign is to accrue 15 promethium it seems a little counter intuitive. Sadly these hired guns only last one game and do not advance unlike in Necro which puts a dampener on things but they are there. You can however hire special operatives much in the same way as bounty hunters in Necromunda, this is pretty much the only way you have of using Power Armoured Marines and even Terminators in the game.

Of course given the context of the war on Armageddon this makes a certain amount of sense but it also kills a great deal of the variety and fun that you had in the post game phase. Gone too are the trading posts and territories, now you just re-arm and re-supply. Gone are all the hand and eye, head injuries, that used to affect stats and give mental conditions and with it is gone a good opportunity to add character to your kill team. Speaking of the Injury table, that too has been pared down, no D66 rolls anymore, its a straight D6. Basically you are just forcing your opponent to roll on the injury table, It covers the items you need in order to play and the characteristics of each fighter type, along with a breakdown of a game turn – this will teach you movement, shooting, hand-to-hand combat and recovering from injuries, along with an explanation of the mechanics behind using terrain.This really kills the buzz you got from scoring kills, in necromunda every kill meant more experience. – Core Rules: as you might expect, this is the set of rules you need to learn in order to play Shadow War: Armageddon. – rules and background for 12 further factions not previously found in the boxed game’s rulebook: Skitarii, Craftworld Eldar, Dark Eldar Wych Cults, Genestealer Cults Hybrids, Grey Knights, Harlequin Troupes, Necrons, Tau Pathfinders, Tyranids, Chaos Space Marines, Adeptas Sororitas Battle Sisters and Inquisitors of the Ordos Xenos – the last two factions’ rules have been previously unavailable anywhere else – the Warriors of Armageddon: an overview of the main forces fighting over the hive world – Space Marines Scouts, Astra Militarum Veteran Squads and Ork Boyz Mobs – how they fight, why they fight and the wargear they employ – a short history of the brutal conflicts that have wracked the hive world of Armageddon since the notorious Warboss Ghazghkull Thraka decided to invade, in order to declare himself the true prophet of the Ork gods – and deliver a crushing blow to humanity
