Yeah, my CSM codex cost 30% less than retail by ordering it from the USA (via a German website) and paying shipping.

As for the codex, I'll probably read it from the beginning, making my way slowly toward the end.

I will never play Tyranids, so I will only read it to grasp what my opponents will be able to do. I will read it in whatever format is made available to me first that doesn't involve me paying for it.

I will glance furtively at it in GW in Leeds later today, while my wife tuts in the background and some shop assistant half my age asks me:

GW robot ............. My response
So what games do you play... ........Uh 40k and hobbit
What armies do you collect.............. Uh SM and Necrons plus hobbit
What you currently working on............ Just got some Centurians
You can come in and we can show you how to paint them...........FOR GOD SAKE LEAVE ME A LONE WILL YOU, I DON'T WANT YOU TO TELL ME HOW TO HIGHLIGHT A MODEL OR HAVE YOUR POINTLESS ADVICE TO TRY TO GET ME TO BUY SOMETHING I DON'T WANT. I HAVE BEEN PAINTING MODELS SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT I DON'T WANT YOU TO BOTHER ME!!!!!!

GW sounds like he is just engaging in conversation, and you are being dickish for no reason.

Build a man a fire, he will be warm for a night. Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.
