Unfortunately my love for GW games has waned over the years and I have little interest in AoS or 40k but when they started to produce the specialist games I got very excited.

I jumped in on Necromunda as soon as it released in 2017. Unfortunately the slow release schedule combined with limited print runs on the cards quickly killed local enthusiasm for this game. Now folk appear a little reticent to pick up any new release for these specialist games because of this.

Whilst access into these games is relatively easy, it is very difficult to flesh out your games with the accessories. So far I’ve seen bloodbowl, necromunda and adeptus titanicus all die on the vine. Few bothered with Aeronautica Imperialis because of the short term support issues and I recently started looking into it but you can no longer get the Rynn’s world book, or battke zone, nor can you get hold of the Ork Air Waaagh card pack.

I’m sure most folk can accept a slower release schedule but it’s a little disappointing to see current options limited when you want to jump into a game purely due to discontinuation of product and ultimately puts new players off. As it seems you either have to invest on day one and continue full throttle support, or simply let the whole game system pass you by.

As a result many seem to be doing the latter unfortunately.
