Some if you fellers are putting an awful lot of thought into ways that mean you'll not have think during games.
Necromunda deals with allot of complicated situations reasonable nicely that are usually ignored/abstracted out in allot of other games.
The closest target rule deals with battlefield confusion/light/smoke without complicated Fog of War or spotting mechanics. It also promotes tactical manoeuvre and the concept of gangs roving and scraping in the Underhive which is at the core of this game.
Ditto pinning. By the way Leadership influence here the the presence of other gangers which allow pinned models to break pinning and the use of the Leaders LD. If new players are getting pinned out of turns then they either don't get it or aren't really in a Demo rather being used as target practice.
Sorry fellers I don't get the complaints. It's a reasonably balance ruleset that has stood the test of time quite well.
I'm going to stick my neck out and say any long term Nerco player that moans about these rule has a Van Sarr gang armed with nothing but Lasguns and Plasma that they deploy in tower then never move. "Hiding is also OP and people that use it all the time are boring".

One thought. Are we supposed to add scatter terrain to the board pieces, or only use what comes in the box?

From what I can surmise LOS in the basic game can't cross a wall. There would be no reason why you couldn't add scatter terrain as well - but the missions might be balanced with the boards as supplied. That said - we used to add 3D components to Calth to add a sense of realism.

When we started playing Necromunda we did four things:
1. We ignored ammo rolls.
2. We ignored closest target.
3. We ignored pinning.
4. Everyone got an advance after every game.
We were wrong about all 4 changes we made. Each of the above is vital to the way Necromunda works (or worked, given the new edition is going to be quite different).

Often house ruling away a part you don't like just makes the game not work. House rule away multiple parts and the whole thing can easily collapse.
The interesting thing about shooting the closest, pinning, ammo rolls etc., is that the degree they are implemented will be within this alternating activation approach, so they will likely produce a very different experience when it's full on IGOUGO.
Since I'm not interested in the miniatures or the tiles or the funny dice, it'll be how good the ebook version of the rules is that determines whether I spend any money on necromunda or just keep playing 8th with individual model activation like I have been for my Inquisimunda games for the last couple months.

The only word we have on those is that they want to get all those with official rules back into Necromunda eventually.

A company called Printable Scenery do some nice 40k themed stuff, it could easily be used for Necromunda.

The Wanhoa Duplicator i3 is a pretty good printer to start with, its cheap (roughly 400 USD i think, last time i checked) and not too bad for quality.
The Prusa i3 is also a good choice. Easy to operate and maintain, its 700 USD thought, so just a bit more costly.

Heck, I've played enough games of League of Legends where everyone beats on the tank with the damage potential of a wet sponge, and totally ignore the marksman standing just behind them blowing people up.

It might also be worthwhile trying to find out what 3D printers are publicly available in your area - we have one at one of the local libraries. (Use is free, but you have to pay for the material.)

No worries.
AS an aside, i just backed the current printable scenery Kick Starter. One of the things that KS offers, is STL files for Sci-Fi/Industrial walkways that could fit in nicely with Necromunda.

Hey when did they start getting inspired by the old Blanch artwork, when he was doing artwork and it was good?
Wonder if that would be an actual model, cool artwork inspired from a classical piece though.

I'm not sure how reliable that info from the AGM is, but it did mention that they want to have more support for Necromunda from the get go (as opposed to BB) and have more gangs available at launch or very soon after. Cawdor got a specific mention, so perhaps they will be out soon too. That with this ad saying "plenty of releases over the coming months," gives me some hope we might see another gang or two at launch, or at worst in December.

So perhaps the Amazonian Gotheique is returning as a Pit Fighter of some sort?

They're certainly going to need a separate door for their hair...
I hope the other gangs come swiftly as hinted at, if only to get some diversity from the start. Not sure if Necromunda will catch on at my local store, but I don't think it'll do well if we only have Goliath and Escher for four or more weeks. Blood Bowl certainly did not take off with the glacial release of teams.
