Since you mentioned Tony Cottrell, from Warhammer Community:
On Thursday at 2:30 pm, we’ll be talking to White Dwarf editor Matt Keefe about the iconic official magazine of the hobby and what you can expect in next month’s issue – with loads of great new stuff to get your hands on, including painting guides, battle reports and more, you won’t want to miss your first look. At 4:00 pm we’ll be catching up with the Specialist Games Studio and Forge World, talking to Tony Cottrell about Blood Bowl and beyond.
"And beyond" could be anything, but who knows?
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
Oh sure, I expect changes to the rules - I was more meaning it's not guaranteed that the combat rules will be changed because they are based on SW:A... because they have only just been republished there in the same form.
I'd be surprised if the core mechanics changed, but fully expect other changes (like marksman being gone, as it was in SW:A)
Silver Tower is a fun game, but it's not Warhammer Quest. It doesn't have any of the depth, longevity or replayability. I'd hate to see that done to Necromunda.

I love it, everyone can play it and it's fun enough for normal people.
Which doesn't contradict anything that HBMC said, and doesn't alter the fact that it isn't Warhammer Quest.

In case anybody is feeling excited with the new rumours and fancies a few games, yaktribe, the Necromunda forum, is organising some campaign days. If anybody fancies it head on over and show some interest in this thread

"Different" and "worse" aren't the same thing, as HBMC's comment implied.
And?
I mean, utterly self evident statement aside, what does what you've said add to the conversation? HBMC clearly feels that Silver Tower isn't as good as WHQ, that Silver Tower is still a fun game and "normal" people can enjoy it does not, in any way, contradict that.
If Necro were to receive the same level of "between game" evisceration of content and advancement it would likely be similarly a fun game that lacked something the original had in the same way.

The problem is that we live in the candy crush legacy era. Fast food in gaming version is what the mayority is after. I'll prefer a true campaing oriented necromunda, as the original. But, At the same time, I can understand if they want to tone it down
Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Mmh... 12 marks and 12 nails (Necromunda was released 12 years ago (without counting Confrontation). B50 is the classification number of hive worlds and the the symbol looks like a... "Necro-Aquila". It COULD be Necromunda, but I'll wait and see.
Write louder, I can't hear your post over here. I'm sitting here with my Necromunda box and in now way I'm ten years older than you and my passport say!

12 is the legion for World Eaters and it's a skull.. As much as I wish this was Necro related I think it's hints at new 'zerkers..

That would have nothing to do with special games - which today's twitch basically confirmed that little video to be
