As someone who worked at a military college in the South here in the States...you would shudder to see the things I saw.  lol

Proof reading is exactly the problem with all the latest GW stuff.
That and the amount of books needed to play because rules are spread all over the place.
Necromunda only needed maybe 2 books maximum.
Now it feels like you need as many books as 40k games do.
Plus GW pdfs
And FW pdfs
And white dwarf lists.

No thank you.
Train wreck avoided.

Also not a fan of monopose models disguised as multipart kits

Sadly the monopose-multipart kits seems to be the standard now from GW, they put me right off building what was going to be my Primaris force.

I think I'm going to scratch my 40k & Necromunda itches with the Fistful of Lead Galactic Heroes rules; I fancy using old-school marines for 40k and some of the new Necromunda minis (suitably converted to tone down some elements) for gang fights.

if GW had put necromunda out with all the gangs ready, all the extra content in a big £90 rulebook then i'm sure the same people bemoaning the lack of (insert favourite gang) would also moan that there's too much to buy and they can't be bothered with the investment.

Why would the Necromunda rulebook cost £90!? Just because that's the cost of all these separate books they're releasing is proving the exact complaints people have. The original Necro had all the gangs (barring Outlanders) and didn't cost £90 for the rulebook, that's a mental argument. Regardless of which gang you play you still need all the rulebooks (and the full box set) because they're adding weapons, gear and other rules back in bit by bit so it isn't a case of "waiting" until your gang is released.  :(

£90 is hyperbole for "a large enough amount of money that people would moan about it."

Yes, I imagine people would "moan" about a £90 rulebook cause it's ludicrous. ;D

let's be honest, people would moan about any price because that's what they do.
It could be £5 and come with a free orgasm and people would moan that they didn't get a cuddle afterwards.

Of course people would moan if it came with a free orgasm.

Think the most I've paid for a single book is ~60 Euros.

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

I bought a second hand copy of The lost and the damned a while back. I'm not going to say how much it cost. Suffice to say enough that I may get it professionally rebound.

Well, I'd certainly hope they'd be getting their moany's worth.

The deepkin are up for pre-order, with what I thought had to be a misprinted price when I first read it - Eidolon of Mathlann yours for merely £65.00.

I quite like the Thralls, but I really like the shipwreck, and it's reasonably priced at £25.00 (I actually thought they'd swapped the prices on the shipwreck and the figure). I have no idea what the warden figure is doing, although carrying your own ink supply with you makes sense, I suppose  lol

Still waiting patiently for the Van Saars, can't be too long now.
