I'm just happy to see so many folks more excited for this then just nay saying everything GW does. Say what you will about GW's prices, or "ugly models" but I think they knocked this one out of the park. FOR CHAOS!!!!

I think it's around four pounds more expensive.
So the digital copy could be up to £34 pounds in the UK......
And I think $54 in the US......

No.. it's only available on a much pricier ipad.
Anyway I don't think $50 is thaaaat ridiculous for an all color hardback book. It may seem steep if you're somebody that just collects every codex, but if you play the army it'll be years until you need to buy another one so I don't think it's that bad. Consider the price of IA books.

I think a lot of people just don't want to risk $50 without knowing for certain this book won't suck like the previous version.

It might actually be worth the extra £ for the digital copy... *free errata inserted...
Though, I'm having a spot of trouble seeing how they can charge so much for the book... Hardback or not, it's not THAT many more pages than the other codexes right? And if there are, what are they going to fill the extra pages with? It's not like we have 50% more units than anyone else?

You can get the Errata for free anyway. I fail to see how its a better deal.

An Imperial Armour book (IMPERIAL ARMOUR VOLUME ELEVEN - THE DOOM OF MYMEARA) costs 45 pounds here in the UK and is
-More than double the amount of pages and content
-A massive full coloured book
-Several army lists
-Extensive fluff and background
-An entire campaign
15 more pounds over, it makes the IA books seem reasonable.

Isn't that the army of the guy featured in last month's WD, expanded with 'new' things?
Still looks pretty damn nice tbh. Different colour schemes help the new models so much.

The more I look at the Mutilators the more I like them, and that Alpha Legion army looks bitchin'.
Shame Abaddon and Kharn don't have new sculpts though.
And I LOVE the gatling cannons on the Forgefiend. The skulls on the ends of the barrels are actually a really good implementation of Moar Skullz.

The Alpha Legion colour scheme helps to remove the horrid Power Ranger scheme that the Black Legion and Night Lord scheme that they used.

Anyone alarmed about the legion upgrade kits, they are just fine cast versions of the old metal ones. What's worse is that we've had those kits since 4th. Those pads are way out of proportion, they needed a total scale up.

Games Workshop: Ruining Chaos Space Marines since 2007
First they raised prices on the Eldar, and I did not speak out because I did not play Eldar.
Then, they raised prices on the Orks, and I did not speak out because I did not play Orks.
Then, they raised prices on the Nids, and I did not speak out because I did not play Nids.
Then, they raised prices on the Marines, and there was nobody to speak out for me. |

Very forced. Then again chaos marines themselves seem to have gotten more "80's metal" as well.
I used to have both a huge Death Guard and Black Legion army, so I am not opposed to chaos per se, but they seem to get sillier and sillier looking...

Nope. Just don't like the asthetic of these models in the context of a WH40K chaos army, and this being a discussion thread about said army and all.
Don't worry you can still play with your warpicons...
