Yikes @phaidknott … I disliked how Necromunda supported the gangs, but making essential gameplay elements part of a limited release does suck.

I’m tempted to think that someone within GW is actively sabotaging games, because a company can’t be so stupid that they make essential parts of a game into limited release. That’s a strategy that is going to bite them long term as there is no way for new players to start playing once these things have sold out.

Killteam also appears to suffer from this as the various faction specific commanders, terrain kits and pre-build teams are sold out as well. I don’t know if rules within those sets are available for download.

Warcry may be next on the list of games that are impossible to find players for who didn’t get in at launch (the non Chaos unit cards are sold out).
