I tend to flip through the army lists first and then look at specific wargear as it relates to the units.

Fluff is def last for me

**guyperson5**

Usually on the first page I open

**Vermillion**

Start at page 1 and go on usually. Prefer the background stuff before the new rules have me holding my head in my hands especially with 40k nowadays it seems.

**nickick**

I dunnoe (Im a bit random)

**Tadhghouze**

I look at the pics and then dont bother with it till i buy a pack of somthing from that army or untill i play with that army

**Eclno**

Other: I look to see what is fixed/broken.

Then look at pictures.

**TrollPie**

I read the background. Of course, usually that is the first half of the book, so go figure.

**Shooms**

I'm disappointed that "smell it" wasn't an option.

**MrBakelsworth**

I, for some reason start from the end then kind of flip through to the front so I can get an idea about everything. Then I read it all from front to back.

**SoulBellow**

Everything in the book

**Mr.Malevolent**

Start from the front which is always fluff and work my way to the end.

**Akroma06**

Look at the units and gear...gotta know whats different and what they can do.

**jblackheart13**

I choose armies based off of character and unit profiles. So I usually head straight to the meat.

**Thatguy91**

Start at the beginning and i read through the entire thing usually.

**Stunami**

Pretty picutres, then stats.

**MrMerlin**

I read it from page one to the end

**The Mad Tanker**

Flip to the heavy support section...

**Brother-Captain Scotti**

PICTURES!!!! Cos I am a child...

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Exactly what I do

**Sparks_Havelock**

I always start at the beginning and read my way through it. Background & lore are the most important things for me with 40k these days and heavily influence how I collect & paint my armies.

**necrovamp**

I check the list 1st and mke sure my current armies compatable, i then read the induvidual units and stuff, then any other rules. I only read the fluff if i'm really really bored as it's all just filler to justify having a 105 page rule book instead of a 40 page book and charging less for it.

Lol. I've done that with all gaming books for as long as I've bought them. Knew I couldn't be the only one. Ha!

I voted unit profiles. I generally read that first, then the wargear section, then the army list, reserving the general fluff part for potty time (just being honest). New codices always spend some time on the "golden throne" for a while.

**Ogryn**

I start reading the fluff, then Army lists.

**BlapBlapBlap**

I check out the special rules, then unique wargear, then the army list

**el_groovatore**

I'm a total child, so it's totally all about the pretty pictures

**templarsandorks?**

I get a new codex?

**Johnny-Crass**

I read the entire book then make a odd list using the units I like then end up never using that list

**ParatrooperSimon**

I always got to check out the new rules and units... I MUST!
