In the meantime you can enjoy a pictureless, fluffless pdf

Well, I'm glad to see IA in GW online. Its cheaper, at least as far as I can tell, and its just nicer to order in dollars.

Besidesm seeing IA on the GW site will likely add legitimacy to FW as the link will be clearer.

Here's some good news. If the selling of the Forge World books in US GW stores and on the US GW website seems like a prelude to making the models more accessible, apparently it is. Sometime in the not-too-distant future FW models will be stocked in Memphis and available in the US through the US GW web store.

I'd buy a plastic Warhound!


Actually, I'd buy 2 or 3.

Considering the baneblade is $90, I would expect the titan to be at least $150.

It is something like a month old or newer so if GWUS is lagging in it's ritual fashion it should be available sometime in January.

Considering that the Baneblade, Shadowsword, and Stompa are all priced at $99 now, I'd expect the Warhound to be $99.

A Stompa really should be paired off against a Knight instead. Though Forgeworld doesn't actually make those for either the Eldar or the Imperials (they're not even available now in Epic scale).

And so: "But why can't I use Forge World Rules, they're part of Games Workshop right?" because that much trickier to answer now that it will morph into "Why can't I use the Tyrant's Army list, I bought the book off of the Games Workshop website."

Yay I can field my leman russ conquerors now!

People still wont let me use autocannon chimeras I bet though

micahaphone wrote:Sure thunderhawks would be awesome, but only space marine players could use those. Warhounds could be accessible to every imperium player, and with a little work, for all chaos players! Also, both of these are in the apocalypse book, so no need to buy extras!

Considering at one point, now if not before, space marines made up 25% of all sales. So a thunderhawk would sell.

Nice to see the books there.

At least it provides us a better argument to people who are unsure about playing against it, "Hey, I bought this on Games Workshops web store, of curse it is official".

I thought it was 50%?

Since IA5 the Imperial Armor books have been labeled 'expansion' right on the cover. So there should be no arguments. They are exactly the same as playing an Apocalypse, Cities of Death, Planetstrike or Spearhead game. If you guys want to play an expansion game (of any kind) then you do, if you don't you don't. Where the books are sold changes nothing.

Because you don't want to face a Titan or Manta in regular games.

Considering that pretty much that will be everything they could field....

Dark eldar dark lance spam would have a field day ;p

You'd need a game of 2000+ points to do that anyway, so in a "regular" game it would never happen.

Bah, a titan is no match for my 3 of each Furiosos and Death Company Dreads in Dreadnought Drop Pods!

If true, that could be very interesting. I just got my first order of IA books into my store. If they add FW to the US website, I'm assuming I'll be able to add some FW to the store as well, on a regular basis. How I do it now is sort of haphazard ie. I trade other stuff to the never ending parade of players that buy FW stuff and then it sits on their shelf for two years unbuild.)

I'm glad to see this. I'm sick of keeping with currency exchange rates and paying the exchange fees.

The IA books appeared in my local GW store here in Oz this week, numbers 2 to 8.

I was going to buy the first Siege Of Vrakks book today, but the minister of finance told me I had enough books and not to.

So I'll sneak out on wednesday and buy it.

as a FLGS, do you get a discount from MSRP on it or do you end up selling it at cost? i'm trying to see if i should convince my local store to do the same as a special order but i doubt they'll bit unless they can make a profit (they sell GW at 10% off retail).

I'm surprised that they're selling IA2, frankly. It's supposedly on the chopping block to cease printing and be replaced with an updated version with alot of the material from IA: Apocalypse and some new stuff even, like IA1 is.

Who are these boring people who don't like forgeworld being used in normal games?

for 40k, probably. 25% sales is overall for fantasy, 40k and LOTR I believe(not sure about LotR, but definately for fantasy and 40k combined)
