Shadow War Armageddon

My Kill Teams group is super excited about this new 'board game' that GW is releasing this weekend.  Evidently, it's a new version of Necromunda with normal GW factions instead of hive gangs.  I never played the old Necromunda, so have absolutely no emotional attachment or nostalgia associated with it.


I talked about this a little before.  The core box is $130 and comes with a ton of stuff that I'm just not interested in.  I don't want the Scouts.  I don't want the Orks.  Oh, maybe I need the templates, tokens and dice?


Nope.  Sure looks like standard templates and die.  The tokens are pretty easy to replicate.  All I really need is the rule book.  I'm pretty sure I'll be able to borrow a copy from someone.

I'm a little conflicted.  I want to play this, but I REALLY don't want to spend $130 for what is essentially a rule book with some tokens.  I already have models, templates, dice and terrain.  Ugh.  So annoying.
