Thing is, the idea of paying back then $30 for a book turned me off on them all. Now it's like almost $40-$50 for a codex or warbook or what ever they are called in Fantasy and LotR.

Why spend money on paper when it can go to minis. So first thing stopping me is buying the codex. Now I have no incentive to buy the minis.

Oh well. I guess GW thinks otherwise it's better to charge for everything. I still think free codicies would make more money on minis.

Army books are catalogs. If they only made the rules, they would
be free. But the most expensive part of producing these books is
the color photography and paying the artists. Game companies
want the books to pay for themselves. And come on, books are in
the range of 30-50 USD. That's not much in the world of miniatures.

"The latest scuttle-bug is that a GW employee has been fired over the 6th edition leaked PDF. Now bear in mind, this is all alleged and we don’t have any names, but that is the word on the street.

So what does that mean?

It could be total BS, it could be true, until we have some more accurate reports we can’t be sure, but as always, we pass along what we hear to you all.

If this is true, it means GW is pissed and the leak was unintentional. Hopefully though, they see that the community reacted generally favorably to the rules and sees the value in getting player feedback from the community to avoid problems like they’ve had with 8th edition Fantasy which has been generally poorly accepted and has lost revenue since it was released.

We’ll keep our ears to the ground to try and validate this rumor, and will pass along anything we hear."

so it was all part of the plan? but employee got fired ?

The main reason I have a pinch of salt with the 6th edition is the lack of fuss GW make over it. If it was real and leaked you'd see lawyers and police all over it,
