At my local (GW) store, we sort of found out one day that a whole bunch of us used to play necromunda, and all of us who did, loved it.
So we really talked about a large necromunda showing at the next specialist games tournament, and managed to get a medium sized gathering to rock up - was an awesome day.
Now we are thinking (quite seriously) about starting up a proper, high quality campaign, several vets and a few newbies. At the moment we'll probably have about 6 people playing at first, but I wouldn't be surprised if many more expressed interest, seeing as a few others have already. It would be awesome if this idea took actual flight.
Its kinda strange, but I think it might be picking up a bit of life again in my area. Awesome.
In fact, if people are interested enough and live in my area (Melbourne), PM me, and i'll let you know what (if anything) is going to happen. Should be fun, and the more the merrier!
-Edit (extra info, if you are interested)
Some of the (fully painted) gangs already seen fielded:
Delaque (Mine, painted up like the black panthers)
Goliath (loads of real metal models, well painted, not like those plastic ones you got in the boxed set, his gang looks awesome)
Skavvies (fantastic looking gang, beautifully painted and converted from scaven, this guy won the tournament meantioned earlier)
Redemptionists (awsome looking)
Escher (also awesome)
Orlock (metal, yet again awesome)
There were more at the tourney, but they might not be showing at the campaign. Then again, who knows?
the campaign will have lots of awesome stuff, like hive events etc, and should be loads of fun as an ongoing event!
