Yup, bit worried by this move. Does this mean the GW (mainstream) is now dropping future Necomunda (leaving it all to FW from now on)?

I know there’s some plastic Ambull coming (so that’s GW), but the question is more along the line of support for future rules, campaigns (ie paper based product). Seem strange that the Gang Cards are disappearing (when they are fairly important to play, not essential but they do give some extra characters to each of the Gangs). The Van Saar ones sold out almost immediately (probably because nearly everyone plays Van Saar as they are a bit OP compared to the other gangs), and with the few that are still available now last chance to buy it looks like they’ll not be doing a reprint.

My only hope is that perhaps they decided to do a bundle of all that gang cards in one set (although I really feel I’m clutching at straws here, because they have quietly gone around removing the existing cards with no fanfare of a new format in purchasing them in the future).

Forge World continue to release product (I’ve bought a few weapon packs and head packs), but their characters ranges are a bit expensive (and the main rules make using Hired Guns VERY expensive in points cost to the point that no-one uses them in a campaign…..which I’d imagine hurts sales for these character minis). So not sure if future books might come from FW themselves (akin to the publications they do for 40K), but it’s all gone a bit quiet from GW head office about the future of Necromunda 🙁
