The strength of it is how well the ruleset has withstood the test of time. There is a kind of depth to a coordinated, campaign structure that engages players in a way that pick-up 40k can't.<br /><br />You might also want to check out Infinity as a contemporary version of Necromunda. Instead of a gang you have a SWAT team. Rules are free and the cost barrier to entry is relatively low.Morgrim Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231119283709857424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-3426419108049995142011-12-08T22:21:47.993-05:002011-12-08T22:21:47.993-05:00Try it out with the fresh errata's and see wha...Try it out with the fresh errata's and see what you think :) They're also taking questions/suggestions for the rules right now.

I can easily get a setup for a 4x4 table in my kitchen.<br /><br />@Went Aqwer - I actually think Vassal had a good start on the basics of moving models around, and coding for the rules is daunting, but not insurmountable. of course, if you want true 3-D environ, it's getting a lot more complicated. Very tricky, but not insurmountable. 40K itself being turn based makes the job easier.<br /><br />@Son of Dorn - We have played some Killzone. We had a bit of a problem with needing really heavy terrain on a 4x4 to make the outcome something other than Grey Knights mopping the board with IG and DE.<br />Killzone is pretty good though. A nice mid-ground between Necromunda and Killteam.Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-34846880601509885702011-12-08T20:11:21.050-05:002011-12-08T20:11:21.050-05:00You should check out Killzone, too.

Like Vassal, but with real GW input. nah. that might make too much sense. "<br /><br />The difficulty in converting 40K to a successful computer game is beyond the ability of any company, not just GWs.<br /><br />They would need to re-invent the game mechanics from the ground up. The closest to converting that would be possible would be transferring the model "skins" to pixels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-4132800163165168132011-12-08T19:33:59.114-05:002011-12-08T19:33:59.114-05:00Time and place you say?

No matter which aspect of the wargaming hobby we enjoy, each of us can get exactly what we need out of those games.
