Why would you pre-order? In case they run out?
So as soon as it loads tomorrow, I will have it downloaded. Quite simple. And I have pre-ordered. So there.

Seeing as this is potentially my only other Battle Brother ally choice for my Sisters I was getting the book regardless. I'm just turning it into a potential plus because I can then use it to give a good review/overview for other so they can see if they want the book or not for themselves.
no reason NOT to pre order it. (if you are going to buy it day one anyways)

Anyways, great. You're not pre-ordering. Glad we established that. Now I'm going to back to the BL site and start refreshing like a madman.

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.
Wow. That's pretty strong - so shredding wouldn't be enough
And if you fail to obliterate it in one turn, you need to use a different weapon on your second try.

At least they didn't say to decimate it. Reducing your copy by 1/10 doesn't really solve anything.

There. I added it to my sig. Draigo's Law was getting tired anyways.
You should have had Kid Kyoto make a little graphic out of it. That would be hilarious.
Nice Kid. The starry background creates a little bit of visual noise that distracts from the text being as legible as possible, but that got a chuckle out of me just the same.
The inquisitor lord, standing in the middle of the bridge, told the tired and hungry guardsman,
"You must answer me these questions three if you wish to cross!"
The guardsman accepted, knowing if he were to refuse the inquisitor would kill him outright. The legendary tools of the inquisitors were known to all, fear and surprise being only a couple.
"What... is your name?"
"Henry, sir." said the Guardsman.
"What... is your quest?"
"To find the- I mean serve the emperor sir."
"What... is your favorite color?"
"Blue- no Green!"
The guardsmen was suddenly sprung into the air and fell into a fiery pit, cursing Matt Ward with his final desperate words.
The only reason I could think of to pre-order a digital product would be so you can skip the payment step on launch day. With tons of people trying to throw money at GW online It might "pay" to go straight to downloading the product instead of going through their payment system. As payment systems are separate from the product servers it is one less point of failure.
Like going to go pick up your PS4 or Xbox and having their cash register down, so only people that have pre-ordered could get it with receipt. Thats my line of thought anyway, I could be wrong.
What is the timing for the digital release? For some reason I was thinking it would release on Saturday, but on iTunes it's scheduled for the 15th (45 minutes from now here in Texas).
Do I stay up and wait for Santa Claus to get here in the next hour, or just go to sleep and at some point tomorrow I'll just see it on my iPhone?

Never underestimate the value of time in getting people to buy things. Pre-ordering keys into that for most people by eliminating a step the day of and makes it easier for them thus lowering a perceived cost when they order it.
Such is a "trick" of a number of industries to get people to buy certain goods over others, or to purchase things in general. The easier it is on the consumer when it comes time to purchase the more likely it is they'll buy it if they are considering it.
Naturally this doesn't work on people who have their minds made up so much, but when dealing with people who are on the fence it gets them to be customers even if they weren't really committed to buying what you're selling.

It's not tonight but tomorrow night. GW releases it about 10pm in the BL in the UK, and I think iTunes is sometime between that and 10pm EST.

Ok, so just wait til tomorrow. Thanks, you saved me from staying up the rest of the night hoping and waiting LOL
The reason I pre-ordered both is that I want the bean counters at GW to take notice of 2 of the 40k factions I love (AS & =I=). GW is a business and if these pre-order make them want to invest in these product ranges then I'll be happy. I essentially voting with my wallet for the type of products I want to see from GW.

D
This is me as well, with digital codexes I could get an illegal copy and nobody would be able to tell but SoB & Inquisition haven't been properly supported for so long when I want them properly supported so voting with my wallet (only thing that matters to GW these days) seems like the only way to make it happen.
I'm building a valkyrie at the moment and would love to make it an Inquisition one as I have a ton of Inquisition bling in my bits boxes, really hope we see that as a transport option for Inquisitors.

No immediate plans for a physical release,
but they have said for the Adepta Sororitas that if it was popular enough a physical book might be possible, so hopefully they will go the same way with this one
Popular belief is that if the digital copy is popular, then a physical copy might manifest.
Cool, thanks. Hope that's not the case though, it's a bit of a catch 22. As nice and fancy as the digital codicies are (from what I've seen), I'd still only ever actually stump up the cash for a physical book. Just like 'em better.

Difference is that Adepta Soroitas Digital Codex has at least half as much units as the old thin Witchhunter Codex. Inquisition Digital Codex is at best an ally "Codex", basically a maxed out alternative HQ unit, filled with a fluff paragraph on Eisenhorn etc to justify the release (but seems to miss even Assassins).

Let's see... we had 19 total units (not counting DTs) and we lost 7 (one of which is the ability to take an Immolator as a heavy choice). That'd be 36.8%. Not quite half.
I'm not counting Chimeras or Land Raiders because you couldn't take those on your own.
As for the no Assassins thing, I've seen people claim it, but no one has linked it or quoted it verbatim. Anyone got that or are we stuck running in circles with scuttlebutt and we don't even know it yet?

There's a selection of 'Inquisitorial Models', and the Assassins are not among them. But yeah, the Land Raider isn't listed there either, and we know that one is in for sure, so take from that what you will.

Oh good, you've seen it then. So what options does this alternative HQ have?
