What would a 200 page copyshop print out with download service cost extra, if done to survive more than one game?

BTW I am not raging a war against digital books per se, I am thinking of the target customer little Timmy, who just wants to play with his toy soldiers without extra computer equipments and programming skills.

To bad for little timmy (though in the School district I work at we give all the kids Ipads..)

I'm not sure what this sentence is supposed to mean? How much would it cost? 5-10 cents a page. So at worse 20 bucks. Generally double sided are less so closer to 10. Pretty easy to tell them not to print pages 51-111 which knocks a bunch off too.

Little Timmy is not the target audience for Supplements and Digidexes.

I can't see any new kits being released alongside this codex. Maybe some more finegak err finecast.

You forgot the binding and the download service in your scenario. My point is that you must pay the price for an extra softcover Codex in addition to the download price to get a functional Codex for people without mobile computer.

That's what I said: Sucks to be poor and/or in the colonies: GW is not meant for you.

Ouch, they've taken the right to print it out away? Even though people are very likely to want to do that? I'mma go write an email to Black Library to tell them how disappointed I am in them

I like this. The Inquisition portion of the GK Codex always seemed like an add-on any way. Lots of Grey Knight fluff in the dex and almost no mention of the Inquisition.

Any computing device.

Welcome to the digital age

it is being put out by the DIGITAL EDITIONS portion of the company

I think the inquisition are some of the most interesting and exciting parts of 40k. That's where the good stories are that let you use your imagination and give great conversion possibilities. That's where the best novels are and why they based the 54mm game around them and one of the strands of the RPG is published, alongside deathwatch and rogue traders. I think they deserve more than a digital codex, at least new models.

Wonder if we'll get any one-click bundles to go alongside it? Maybe things like retinues for each Ordo? Not sure which army's page they'd go into, though. Maybe just every Imperial army's page.

A few Inquisitor models have actually vanished, in fact. At least from the UK site.

New, or at least updated, models would be nice. Wouldn't get your hopes up, though.

Maybe they'll get their own section.

From the Agreement if you buy it now " 1.3 to print one (1) hard copy of the e-book for your personal use only. If you accidentally destroy or damage this hard copy, you shall be entitled to create a further copy provided that you obliterate any remaining elements of the previous copy."

Where are you getting that?

I'm on their site and there is no 1.3

I chuckled at the use of "obliterate". That's... a bit excessive, isn't it?

Ya hopefully it will have all three ordos in there. If I really wanted to get my hopes up I'd wish for deathwatch rules.

Look at the latest Apocalypse book. There's Deathwatch rules in there.

Checked the License before buying it then cancel sale

Interesting, I have every 28mm inquisitor GW has made- time for some to see the tabletop.

Any computing device.
"personal computers, e-book readers, mobile phones, portable hard drives, USB flash drives, CDs or DVDs"

So you are talking about putting a USB stick or CD on the table or dragging the PC to the local store?

Oh, the lack of ability to print it legally is a bit weak. For me it doesn't make much difference, but not cool for those who are affected. Ah well, they have said the more popular titles will likely make it to print form, and I could possibly see this being one of those...small hope, but at least it's something.

So on the line of models, is it particularly difficult to find good stand ins/alternatives?

No, I'm answering your question.

Would it not fit.be accessible on a Kindle?

The pandorax one?

It sounds like the BL needs to update their site, since the actual agreement when you purchase it is different and allows printing.

it may well be there are special t&c for the digital only dexes (ie you can make a single print copy) compared to the ones where GW will (eventually) sell you a hard copy where you can't

They are talking about where you can store a copy... though it you have it on a USB device you could plop it onto a Surface tablet and have the rules right there...

Aha, found another one:

http://www.blacklibrary.com/legal/ebook-license.html

That one allows printing.

I wouldn't bank on a model release. This is suppose to be out in November but the November White Dwarf didn't show any 40k Inquisitor models in the price list. But then again it didn't show the codex either so maybe

Well, there is still that female Inquisitor from the Grey Knights codex that doesn't have an official model. I'd love to see a multipart basic Inquisitor kit to go along side this, but that's been a wishlist item for near a decade now.

The Damnos version. Hopefully they'll have DW that would be awesome
