But don't you need an ipad to properly make use of the iBook version?

The interactive/enhanced one, yes, but it's incidental to me as I've had one since before GW started doing digi editions. The ePub (cheaper, non interactive, possibly clumsier than dead tree) version will work on pretty much anything with a processor though.

I've started using PDFs for my books recently though, which are similar to ePub, and the search function is invaluable, as long as you remember the name of the rule you want to look up!

No, hence my very specific choice of "much harder" rather than impossible.

And (although this is stupid) I chose my words because in this comparison you can only use your iPhone 4 to call other people who still have the iPhone 4!

I literally cannot over state how little I care at this point.

Actually you just posted. So you must have some level of care. And what's "literally" doing there? Are you ESL? Didn't you also just state that people have a right to an opinion? How 'bout you stop trying to be the leader of the Mod Cadet Corps for a few pages?

Ah, the Internet, last bastion of pedantry, I did consider not posting, but in a meta, the Internet will eat itself sort of a way, felt the only way I could express how it wasn't important, to me or the discussion, was to express how it wasn't important.

I'd also be interested on your thoughts how Bull0's post contains any sort of opinion, of his or anyone else? It's more an explanation, if anything, but pertaining to a line of conversation that won't do anyone any favours in keeping the thread in roughly the right direction, hence my attempt to kill it dead, might have worked too if you hadn't chosen to get offended by something that didn't involve you. I'm not attempting to moderate, I'm doing it for my own sanity, because a thread this size struggles to stay on course as it is, and some of the utterly irrelevant bs that keeps spewing out just doesn't need to be taking up real estate in my brain.

Or, you know, you could have expressed how it wasn't important by not replying? Trying to speak in poetic-like gibberish doesn't disguise that you're just looking for an excuse to spit back when someone has spoken something you sorely realise is the truth here. You're the one that's getting all defensive and offended in this post.

The amount of whining in this thread seems to have decreased, but I expect more "Grrr grrr I quit because I have to buy a single book that costs a fraction of the price of a bi-annual Smart Phone/Tablet purchase, good quality item of clothing and more despite allowing for considerably more enjoyment" This is even when it fixes and tidies several problems with a broken edition that people were already quitting and whining over.

Well, my copy is pre ordered, and I'm very happy about it. Even with two CC armies, I look forwards to more grimdark narrative forging, and feth the haters.
Now I want it to be the 24th :(

So we're not whiners anymore, we're haters.

Here, have a yolo...

Yes you do. If you don't have an iPad then you CAN'T have the interactive edition. All you can have is the epub or what ever they call it for e-readers.

Is everyone else finding approximately 30% difference between print and eBook edition?

Also, I think I'm going to have to give in to psychic cards... mind's not as sharp as it used to be...

**Samurai_Eduh**

Munitorum Edition pre-ordered!

Go through frontline gaming... after both cards and the rulebook and shipping, still 20% off the GW price

I don't think you appreciate the beast that is shipping to Canada. We get a special snowflake tax.

Apple, MS and GW all suck. Talk about the freakin' new edition. Sick of having to scroll through this bs just to read someones opinion about 7th, which what the thread is about. Have you nothing bettet todo that fill pointless egos!?

The irony is strong with this one!

Your e-penis just grow a little then? Grow up.

Had an email from Element. £40 for the rulebook as a special pre-order price. Must say i'm tempted, but must resist for the possible boxset plus Blood Angels :F

Here's the new 40k Galaxy map in all its glory (screencapped from this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJBzmq4pNAg):

**bubber**

Any know if you need both card decks or just the book? I can laminate at work.
Also, if these are in the book with the old 'permission to photocopy for personal use' would there be printable versions in the ebook?

He's looking at Australian prices.

**Sir Arun**

also, new pics of the individual books are up on the GW site. the verdict remains: worst rulebook cover design ever:

**Thachng**

He's just trolling the Aussies by bring up our prices

**Crablezworth**

It should probably have said "the suggestions"

Games have rulebooks, shared experiences on the other hand.

I will say though, I like the art.

**WrentheFaceless**

It could have a picture of a Pony on the front of it as long as the rules inside are good. Not looking at the cover as much as I'll look on the inside.

That and the map were what made me get the Munitorium version.

A quote from he epub preview from Black Library of the 7th edition codex:

Do all your loins tremble in excitement?

I'm not paying GW to socialize me, I'm paying them to make a game. If I have to make a game and give them money, I'm not sure why I'm doing the second part.

The core problem has not been addressed from the looks of it, I don't think the 24th will be a good day. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Remember kids, it's not a game, it's a "shared experience".

GAMESworkshop no no no, SHARED EXPERIENCE WORKSHOP.

You're clearly playing the wrong game. Please choose another and let the rest of us get on with our hobby, which is clearly not the same as yours.

What game are you guys playing?

I came very, very close, but with Orks just around the corner I'm saving some for the awesome new models.

Is there a single player 40k that I'm not aware of where you dont have to socialize with someone?

**Squidbot**

Stop feeding the trolls.

**Azreal13**

If anyone else here has ever worked in a bar for any length of time, you'll be familiar with the situation that develops, around Christmas mainly, where your regular clientele get swamped by a large variety of people who don't spend much time in bars/pubs at any other time of year, and are totally unfamiliar with the various nuances and protocols of bar life and drinking culture.

Thread about new edition of 40K = this.

I'm willing to bet that the Dark Eldar codex cover will look largely the same too.

How much?

I'm willing to bet against it.

The Space Marines, etc.., on the new books' cover don't match the (non-Limited) Codex cover art either.
