What we do know is, that it's release has been confirmed from a German GW site today (opposite).
However, we don't even know if it's going to be new rules, a compilation of old rules, or just a scenario book like "Crusade of Fire" which was universally panned after it's release.
So do we all rush to buy this ~$50 book and be disappointed in it's contents, or miss out and have to buy it for double on the secondary market next week? Who knows, maybe the product page itself will shed some light on it's contents.Overall though I think it's bad form on GW to just make a blantent money grab on a week where toy soldiers' sales are down (cause of Valentines Day), and leave all the FLGS and independant stockists out in the cold...
Here's the skinny from BoLS;
A couple of news items this morning ladies and gentlemen.
This is more in the confirmation side of things instead of the rumors area. First up, a Games Workshop store put that top image up on their Facebook page yesterday and the following message:
+ + + BREAKING NEWS + + +So that takes care of the flyer book release.
On Saturday there is also this beautiful book!
It is only available in English and only to order from us, but it has EVERYTHING you could wish for flying heart!
Next up, several retailers are now reporting the combo 40K-WFB Deamon Release coming in March. Product codes are apparently out there. So yes, this would mean three months of back to back army books - Dark Angels, Warriors of Chaos - Daemons (both systems). The smart money says Tau and High Elves are after that.
~Have fun!
Is it $50? Most rumors had it pegged at around $20, $25. $50 is way too much for a 70 pg softcover. I also had read that this would not be a limited release and that it would be available on the website indefinitely.
ReplyDeletewell it looks like i know what i will be getting off piratebay lol
ReplyDeleteIt is not limited, i spoke to the German GW store yesterday, forgot to ask the price as I am not interested myself for now.
ReplyDeleteJust checked with them its 26 Euro and 72 pages.
ReplyDeleteSo that's about $35 which seems a little pricey to me... shoulda put it at $30, which would've been the upper limit for me. Now I think I'll wait til I feel like splurging for my BT army.
ReplyDeleteis this going to cover anything we didn't already get with airenotica?
ReplyDeleteyou play bt? what do you recommend for 6th edition
ReplyDelete'"Crusade of Fire" which was universally panned after it's release.' Most of the criticism must have come from people who couldn't get a copy of the book. This book sold out FAST both online and at my local GW. I guess the people who wanted it and bought it up didn't bother to leave comments online.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I haven't really played them in 6th, mainly stuck to GK. If I ever decided to seriously get back into them I would probably want to throw a Stormraven into the mix though considering it's one of the better flyers out there atm.
ReplyDeletethe "~" means "around" :)
ReplyDeleteI managed to get a copy because I ordered within an hour of it being for sale. Have to say, I really like it. The new rules, presentation etc are pretty good. We're in the middle of our second pass through the campaign. The first was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's apparently available for order from the US site right now. $33 is the price.
ReplyDeleteOhhh man... so another $70 book for us Australians lol
ReplyDeleteGreat...
I'm so weak I already ordered it. Justified it by saying I was planning on getting a techmarine for my GK army anyways so I could get free shipping, but we all know that was a lie.
ReplyDeleteLook away, I'm hideous!
