Well I am not parting with my limited edition IA:13 any time soon even though FW have stated it will be invalid come 8th.

To me it is a work of art and cracking good read as well.

The prospect of making the core rules free and releasing a Generals Handbook set up with factionwide low cost books actually has me rather pleased and genuinely excited for a GW release for quite some time.

Bit miffed I bought Traitor Legions but hey, you pay your money and takes your chances.

You can get a refund for it though, they just announced as much.

Unless I am mistaken the refund is time-barred i.e. if you bought it within a certain period prior to 8th dropping. I bought that bad boy day one release.

If not time-barred GW owe me some serious coin, kerching!

Haha well I'm not sure exactly how it works but here's hoping you they can help you out.

Yep, confirmed in their live faq, codex needs to have been bought 8 weeks from the nearest Saturday from the date of 8th dropping.

They stated it was within 8 weeks of the announcement, not 8 weeks of the edition launch. Basically, go be 8 weeks from Saturday.

Hmm, in which case they are saying buy your codexes now and we will refund it in part or full. If full I will happily pick up one or two just for the fluff.

That's exactly NOT what they're saying...

If you buy now, you get NO refund: you knew the new edition was coming when you bought the book.
If you bought before the new edition was announced, up to 8 weeks before, you can claim a refund, since you couldn't know.

A lot of people seem to be trying to game the system on the codex refunds. Then again, this is the 40k community we're talking about. Loopholes are what we do.

That and they want the money to spend on something they can more likely use 6 months from now.

I was more referring to the people saying. "Well if you really think about what they said, I can go buy a codex today and get a voucher since technically dates after the announcement are still 'within 8 weeks' of the announcement". Also note that all codices are now marked Last Chance to Buy on the web store.

I may well pick up some of the codexes for fluff when they go cheap on ebay.

Let us just hope one of these 'themed armies' isn't a pure riptide force, lead by a new super riptide.

They referred to deathstars as rule loopholes. Why shouldn't we play the game GW has led us on a merry dance for years on end?

current codexes already going cheap on eBay from about $10-20 a book shipped with $20 being the average. already picked me up the current rules (3 book set) for less then $20

I vote good riddance. It seemed like every time I bought a codex they released a new edition within a 6-8 months.

I'd either complain that my codex was behind(flyers, HP, grav) or they were releasing them too often and I was spending $50 on a book that was reused stats, art, and fluff in the same book.

AOS has Battletombs but I don't have to rely on them to pick up some new models to play test and see if I enjoy using a certain army. I felt like once you get the codex you basically need to work up that army or you wasted what you bought.

Well at least they are giving out refunds to people who recently bought the books!!!
