Small one is red with the hammer.

And in the red part are a bunch of Ultramarines fighting Orks...

I can live with subtle images, but an upfront Space Marine?

HELL, the Overlord on my Necron codex takes less space than that worthless tin can!

I'm willing to bet that the A5 rulebook will feature the same image as the full-size one.

Sigvatr wrote:Not buying the BRB...cover looks crappy. I play Xenos just because I am sick of all those f-ing Marines EVERYWHERE.

And now, they force us to look at a butt-ugly human tin can everytime I grab the book?

No thanks, been there, done that. Mini rulebook it is.

Why would you buy the BRB? It is 5th edition after all. Don't you have it already?

Now i'm confused.

Kinda funny that they are letting CSM ally with demons after splitting the armies. ISN'T IT?!

Funny they got rid of the Witch Hunter Codex so SoB can't ally with anyone no more. If Tyranids was made with 6th edition in mind, why bother getting rid of the last codex that had ally rules? GW say they don't care about Tourniments so bother wasting resources to just bring it back again?

I bet this is not the BGB, but why didn´t the person snapping pictures, snap a picture of the insides, i´m curious about that.

Because GW told them not too. This is all from GW to get us talking about it. Just like how that video site guys what ever there name is, the ones 2 brit guys who talk so boooooring, say "we can't say who out source is", is GW giving it to them.

This is GW way of being a stripper. Slowly peeling away, or giving out "leaks" to us. Since we think it's non GW sources giving out the info, we talk about it even more.

Either that, or the photographer managed to smuggle in a Cold War relic spy cam, and only had a couple seconds to snap a picture of the cover. A couple dead drops later, and the microfilm landed in the lap of the photo's publisher, who then made this poor digital copy from said microfilm...

Eh...your example is probably right...

We have a few people who say that it has been confirmed, when they called in.

And then you come in with one line and say that it's not.

Someone's trolling, and somehow, I doubt it's the people who are saying it is confirmed.

some australian stores received their rulebook copy early. i guess GW thought it would take longer to send out here. i was in there the other day and all the employees were talking about it i tryed to ask if i could see it and they kept teasing me and then to shock me the guy went in this little closet thing and pulled at a big book that was obviously 6th edition to tease me for a few seconds then put it back in the room. it was not the picture that is on the cover of this book in this photo.

Chaos demons have zero psychic powers. Well that seems off.

I added the collectors edition shot as well--was it that one (see last picture above)?

Collector's edition is black with different cover art and odd slip sleeve.

The lack of additional Ork powers threw me off--of course this is in addition to their normal powers--so perhaps they are saying Orks are just their own psyker style onto themselves...




/Malfred is probably drooling over the man purse gamers edition

I really want that bag for the book, and the collectors edition. I think GW may have found a way for me to buy 2 books ><

What the heck are the little black/gray servo skulls next to the dice supposed to be for?

The_Chaplain wrote:What the heck are the little black/gray servo skulls next to the dice supposed to be for?

The text says they are "dice holders".

Those Munitorium Templates are hideous, and with their superficial protrusions, poor templates to begin with.

Dice are nice, I guess.

I like that the tape measure is actually a nice little something, and not a $1.00 black tape measure with a GW slapped on it.

Oh my...Very tempted for a collector's edition, will wait to see what the prices here in NZ will be before I buy though, the current 8th fantasy retails here for $146!!!

Oh my Glory!

Those templates are VERY tempting. I like the blue lightning very much!

Servo Skull Tape measure - Unnecessary....Unnecessarily awesome!

The dice are meh, but i'm very interested in a set of battlefield objective dice and vehicle damage dice - those will have to wait until July 27 though.


Overall i'm very excited. I cannot wait to get my copy of the book when it drops. Until then, those who have a copy spill away, I want to hear all about 6th edition up to and until i'm reading it for myself in 10 days!

Yeah I suppose it did in its tiny, blurry text. Thank you for posting that though.

If you read the stuff for the vehicle damage dice, sounds interesting

AP3 dice
AP2 dice
AP1 dice
hull points dice

so different Ap's have different effects against vehicles?

Sorry if its already been discussed
