Considering i;ve spent £70 so far on the 4 gang war books i'd be pretty pissed if they just suddenly made them all free or even pulled a blood bowl and released them all as one update book.

If they've done it for Blood Bowl then I would assume that there is a good probability that they'd do a compendium of some sort for Necromunda.

I've personally put off buying any of the Gang War books in the hope that they do eventually do release one and in the meantime will just keep plugging away at painting models and making scenery for a time where I can hopefully play the full game easily without having to bring along the national library to my gaming sessions  :)

For a long time GW's stated aim was to stop sprawling rules releases due to the burden it places upon their customers. They are now very cynically and deliberately returning to that method. The thing that surprises me is that so many people seem prepared to go along with it. There are so many alternatives these days. The only thing that could conceivably interest me is Blood Bowl but as their aim is clearly to gouge money, with support and choice/options placed far behind in terms of priority I have no choice but to give it a miss. They can stick their third throwers and meagre rules offerings you know where.

A conversion using that endless spell model that looks like a flaming head?

(I would not mind CDs making a comeback.)

Your not going to see sisters tell next year. But they did post 3d images of their weapons load out.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Kill Team: Rogue Trader looks amazing for those miniatures. No idea if I'll buy the game, but I will be watching ebay like a hawk for the parts breakdown sellers.

The new Space Marine counsel with bionic wrist is also  :-* :-* :-*

Rogue trader is the only thing remotely interesting to me since everything inside is unique and not just recycled garbage.

I stopped playing GW games late 1990's (dont' count WFRP or DH). I haven't even missed any of them, especially since they dropped metals and got into 'finecast' or whatever it's called, and since the miniature's sculpting esthetic has been moving more and more into the 'cartoony' realms.

But I must say I am getting mildly interested in the the games they've done in recent years, from Bloodbowl and Necromunda to Killteam and Adeptus Titanicus (provided it expands into tanks and infantry...) This KT: Rogue Trader could be my way back in?

Kill team as a game is kinda bland IMHO, but Necronmunda and Blood Bowl are way to go.
You can play both bands from Kill Team Rogue Trader in Necromunda  ;)
