Also, before anyone gets into the fw vs non-fw argument, someone find Kronk's sig there are pages on that argument.

I will say this, the "hey look at my army" section made me wish I had Imperial Fists instead of my Ultramarines lol. That guy's IF army is awesome looking Only thing I really enjoyed from my cursory glance lol.

Got to look through my copy a little more. The pictures are full of beautiful minis, though alot of the art is from other books (a few new pieces) and the campaign itself isn't anything mind blowing. If you have a guy in your group that likes campaigns then he probably could have come up with the stuff in this book. But for those that don't it gives you a good framework. While the rules for demon planets and the arena are neat, I don't see them as game changing. I doubt we'll see people referencing this book a year from now, but its not all bad either.

Turns out my FLGS has at least one left so I've got them holding it for me to pick up in the next few days

I like the idea of campaign rules (even beginner ones) and something that supplements my Planetary Empires.

So kinda OT but man I lol'd at the Americans going on about how Forgeworld is expensive.. then I cried a little because it is about the same price as buying direct from GW down here

Just grabbed myself a copy, on the assumption that if I didn't I'd end up kicking myself once they were gone. Even if I only end up using some bits out of it with my gaming group, it'll be worthwhile (and after a quick flick through, this should be the case)

One thing about this expansion that I enjoy, other than the pretty pictures, is that it has encouraged me to incorporate zone mortalis missions as well as planetstrike games back into our local gaming group. The increased variety of game types is always a good thing and our local players are pretty receptive of new stuff. Also arena of death is a blast!

Read through last night. I've spent $41US on worse things, that's for sure. The pictures of the players and GW employees everywhere harken back to 4th ed books, and there is a good amount of useable content in there. I know many of the guys I play with will enjoy arena. And I can't wait to start a campaign with a few of my buds.

Here you go.

I just got the book yesterday, but last night was RPG night and tonight is date night and tomorrow I have a 40k campaign game and Friday is second date night and Saturday is third date night. I'll have to wait and read it this Sunday when I rest.

Are you God?

^^^ Lol.

Just in case anyones missed it, Wayland have over 100 copies available

http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/games-workshop/warhammer-40k/crusade-of-fire/prod_19196.html

108 still left, and even at £21.25 I'm undecided on it.

Which is great for Wayland.

Unfortunately, if I buy this (now sold out in Australia) book from anywhere outside Australia, it will cause the immediate and catastrophic collapse of the Australian gaming industry. Or something.

Yay for GW.

Maybe, maybe not.

Had an idea on a potential way to beat that, created a thread here so as not to take this one off topic

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/492955.page

Why would I want to beat it? If GW don't want me to purchase their campaign book, that's their loss, not mine. They lose a book sale plus whatever add ons I might have purchased to theme armies for the campaign, and I just don't play this campaign...

When GW decide that having me as a customer probably won't actually bring about the end of the universe and reconsider their current policies regarding internet sales, I'll reconsider whether or not to start buying their product again.

Fair play, though as there are those that do, it seems foolish of me not to suggest a way that they might be able to save money.
