Assuming 6th is coming out soon, which looks very likelyy now the 5th ed rulebook is off the website, how much will the big hardback rulebook cost? I am running.low on cash but want to set away enough to buy it ASAP when it comes out.

It' will cost me 2 minutes...

You must have a god tier ISP

50-75 USD is my guess. They'll probably have a collectors edition for 100 USD.

Too damn much. It always does

I'll buy it anyway though..

If they do a mini-rulebook in the new AOBR equivilent and i can use any of the models in my armies i'll likely buy that too..

To post something serious.
I will only buy the small rulebook from the starter set. For me it's a tool that enables me to play the game. I don't need a big ass hardcover monstrosity. There is only so much weight I feel comfortable to carry around in my backpack when I go to play a game.

For fluff and pictures I have plenty of other sources.

Why?
5ed rulebook is only 50 mb.

Its probably going to cost around 70 dollars which is a huge rip off imo....I don't see why they think a large crowd would pay that much for a book that should be at most 40 bucks.

One MEELLEEON dollars.

Not too much.

Fluff, pictures, and everything? The Necron codex is 37 mb

It contains only the rules. That's all I need.

You don't look at the fluff or the cool pictures in the back?

And I think it'll be £45, same as the fantasy one

I get the fluff I'm interested in out of my codices, and for pictures I have the white dwarf and the internet. That's all I need.

In my opinion the rules should be free anyways, because the game of Warhammer 40k is the only reason I buy multiples of a certain unit. Otherwise I would just pick up some things that aesthetically please me and build/paint them.

hmm so it will look like ...$120-140ish here...yeah na, i'll pass, but i do want the little pocket book of rules, it woud be a food (wait what? lol *good) idea to know how to play the new rules afterall...and pirate copys..eh i just can't read them on the fly and generally don't like reading off the computer

Well.. Just print em out?

This is GW we're talking about, the answer is always going to be "more than is reasonable."

yeah i might do, build myself a little custom cheat sheet ..or sheets . but there is still something good about having a real copy, i don't know what it is about books, but books just feel good read good and well...i don't know, but book definatelly feels like superior to print out pages bound at the newsagent for $2...yeah i must be crazy

In the region of £50 to £60. Easily.

I'll wait for the mini one that will *hopefully* come out with the 6th ed. starter.

Compared to the other free rule sets available.
6th ed 40k should be astoundingly good to justify that price tag.

Seriously, between 70-80 would be my guess. But since nobody's said it


OVER 9000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guessing 85 USD. For the big book. With all the price increases, it will be higher than ever before, even though it cost the same, or less to produce than previous editions.

$74.25, same as the Fantasy rulebook. I'm expecting (and kinda hoping for) another 500 page full color behemoth of a rulebook.

To Much

If you aren't prepared to sell your firstborn to get it, you won't be able to afford it.

Advance orders will incur an additional fee - of your eternal soul.


I won't be getting it - I have no children, and I don't believe in souls (as currency or otherwise).

Has anyone heard of a limited edition release, and if so, linky???

No word on it whatsoever. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a nicer edition that cost $100-$150 though. Fantasy had a $125 special edition, but it was just a numbered copy with a special cover and junk.

Really. This is just stupid GW.
