They seem pretty consistent with 3 now. Knowing you've got a reliable stream of 'new edition money' every 1.5 years probably looks good on paper between 40k and AoS.

Gotta crank out those Rulebooks.

This is it isn't it?

With 4 codexes and the BRB, I'm looking at over £150 (RRP) for a change of edition

Seems a lot, but perhaps spending £130 (in reality) on books every 3 years isn't the end of the world?

I encourage new/interested players who will only play casually and locally to buy an army off eBay with Christmas money and use Grimdark Future rules (which are free and were liberally looted by GW when they went from 7th to 8th... but are still the better rules and are free/living and balanced)

That being said, I do stay current so that I can play the occasional new member of our club who already knows 40k... but other than Marine Codex, maybe Dark Angels, and a rulebook... I'm done buying books from GW... sometimes I'll snag a cheap used codex that's obsolete just to stoke interest among my club mates who like to thumb through and look at pictures
