I'd get this, but in the vain hopes that GW would one day make a new Necromunda. The whole problem with Necromunda from a GW sales standpoint was that people had no need to expand their armies - releasing it as a game in a box would remedy that.

That idea is pretty damn sexy, Senor Yak. I'd be all over that.

It would be a better game than FFG's Horus Heresy...

That is an awesome idea.

Having a Primarch in an army would be cool,even if he's only a few cm high.

I agree, but I think its never been in doubt that GW could make a better job of it if they chose to.

The problem is that the decision was made, presumably at the executive level, to not support the 'specialist' games (and I use the inverted commas, because remember at one time there was no artificial separation between the different products).

More than anything their policy is the indication of what 'going public' with the company has done to them, because its a decision that rests firmly in the hands of the bean counters. If the company was truly being run by people who love the hobby for what it is, they wouldn't have driven away what in many ways was one of its most popular aspects, and instead given focus to shamelessly increasing the number of models that you need to put on the tabletop and an increasingly shallow gaming experience.
