Does anyone know if Warhammer World will reprint Realm of Chaos: The Lost and The Damned?

Probs not. It is an ancient book about miniatures that are no longer made and fluff that has long since been superseded, and it isn't as iconic as Rogue Trader. Why would they reprint it?

Rogue Trader and the first Realm of Chaos book got a reprint on their 30th anniversary. The second was published in 1990 - I'm sure you can work out when a reprint edition would be due.
Mind you, why are you asking here? surely warhammerworld@gwplc.com or uk.custserv@gwplc.com would be the logical place to ask? You probably won't get an answer, but you definitely won't get one here.

Reckon we'll see it.
I can tell you from the Loot Sharing Group there's quite the demand. Not just from more recent adherents of the hobby, but from those with original copies - don't underestimate the appeal of a copy you can flick through without damaging a piece of your history!
If peeps like them, tell GW. Even if you don't get a chance to buy them yourself (seeing as they're WW and Event only). If they see wider demand, they may do Print On Demand of other older books. In theory, the main cost there is page setting/scanning a decent copy of the original. From there, it's all just munneh in the pot.

I just asked them on those links given to me. Would you also be able to ask them if they will do it? Its alright if not.

Did they ever contact you about more copies?

I asked in WW when I replaced my copy of slaves to darkness and I was told it will probably happen but its not a certainty.
He told me that lots of people are asking for it, so there is definitely a good chance of it happening I would say.

I hope they will reprint it. Hopefully Mad Doc will know if they do. Automatically Appended Next Post: Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:Reckon we'll see it.
