I was actually first to reserve a copy at my LGS so I lucked out there. Does anyone happen to know how many points a team is? I'm guessing you start with 500?

1000 pts, can't remember where I saw this, but this is also the starting amount of credits used in Necromunda.

Shouldn't have done that, you're s**t out of luck now.

If I were a scalper I'd make a good bundle on the misfortune of others right about now. But sadly, I want to keep it all for myself.

Or at least until GW fixes the situation. They appear to be back-pedalling hard all of the sudden. They went from "we're doing digital rules" to "we're going to make sure everybody gets a chance to play it" to completely removing the message.  

[BloodyMary76]

Weird. Hopefully they make sure everyone gets access to the rules. Maybe they're planning to wait until all the copies are shipped out to release the rules?

Time to start plotting teams!  

[BloodyMary76]

GW started selling Armageddon Kill Team sets for each faction! Prices vary greatly.

So, this popped up:

Never mind, it's four months old. Damn it. emotion_facepalm  

[BloodyMary76]

Beyond our wildest forecasts my a**.

So they removed the digital rules downloads? Should be noted that points for Armageddon are different than points for 40k... Saw some people get confused over the 1000pt thing.

Canoness Veridia actually, but one can hope.

Well they only have the rules online for the extra factions.

It'd be nice if they at least add downloads for the Quick Reference Sheets!

The rules can still be found here: https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/ShadowWar/SWA_Killteams_ENG.pdf

As for the actual digital rulebook, that's still WIP.

And another leak:

Quote:

* The 6 missions are apparently modifications of the Necromunda core book: Scavengers, Hit and Run, Raid, Ambush, Rescue and Kill Team Fight.

* Each player rolls 2d6 before the mission for Hive exploration and subplots, these can give bonuses after the mission.

* The winner of a mission gain D3 Caches, loser 1 Cache.

* Everyone gets 100pts to spend after the mission.

* Advancement is 2d6:
2/3 +1 W or T,
4 +1 S or A,
5-9 New Skill,
10 +1 M or I,
11-12 +1WS/BS.

* Your leader must not go out of action if you want to spend caches after the mission.
