As Im sure many of you will agree, Games-Workshops support for its
Specialist Games is APPALLING. Im starting a petition for any one
who agrees with me that the Card and Bulkhead terrain (or the hive world battle Zone as it calls it in the rulebook) should be produced again.
THEY HAVE THE MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY THEY JUST DONT USE IT!!
I am posting this on multiple forums. I suggest that everyone who agrees
with me Sends an email to Games Workshop with a title like petition
for necromunda terrain with a list of everyone who would be willing to buy it if they started producing it again. I am sick of bulkheads for £1.20 each
I have been buying almost exclusively from GW for the 7 years ive been into the Hobby but the lack of support for one of their best games is appalling and seeing as terrain is the most expensive and time consuming part of necromunda is the terrain needed you would think that Gw would seize this money making oppurtunity but no they are to busy trying to keep peole buying LOTR that they've forgotten their major market, the real gamer. they seem to think that 10 year olds will have an allowance of
gigantic preportions as that is all who seem to buy LOTR these DaysIT SEEMS THE ONLY THING THAT INTEREST GW ANY MORE IS PROFIT!
SO LETS SHOW THEM THAT ITS PROFITABLE TO PUT A LITTLE BIT OF
MONEY INTO SPECIALIST GAMES AND BOTH THEM AND THE GAMERS WILL BE HAPPY!!!!

I think the chances of this happening under the current SG climate is somewhere between none and zero.

I'd buy it, but someone at GW doesn't seem to like SG games, and I suspect even if 1000 (or however many the break-even figure is +1) people requested it AND put the money up front, it still wouldn't happen.

I haven't voted, as none of the options fit.
"Yes, but it won't happen, regardless of how many people ask for it."

Check out the SG forum and EpiComms about the Epic Chaos figs that were never released (finally released last month iirc). Been unavailable for 2+ years for a core army, which shows the commiment GW are showing the the SG gamers.
Face facts, GW don't really want SG games, they want us to play WFB, 40K and LotR, which is why more and more of my gaming moneys goes to other companies, even if I use them for GW games.

There is already a UK manufacturer out there doing some very snazzy snap together modular terrain (though I forget their name). Get yourself to a local wargames show and you should be able to pick some up. Far superior to the card stuff GW did, so I don't see a problem (except for GW sycophants :lol: )

That would be the Urban Mammoth Urban Wars Builders sets I'm guessing.
