Subject: Is there no physical Codex Inquisition?

Hi, just had luck with an eBay auction and got my hands on some Inquisition models along with those I originally wanted. Now I wanted to get a Codex for the Inquisition models, but could only find the ebooks in the GW store. Is there really only the ebook edition? I want to have all my rulebooks in print in my shelf. :(
Thanks!

Afraid so. :(
I printed mine out and put it in a 3-ring binder.

Not yet, no. Most of the supplements were originally in electronic form only, and have been getting released in hardback in relatively short order afterwards. I would give it probably to the start of the new year before a hardback version comes into service.

"There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose that functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bioengineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey."

Thanks for the quick answer. I really think they should include the digital version for buyers of the physical one :( I will definitely not buy both versions for that much money.

Being a Sisters of Battle player, I can sympathize.
However, I also have advice. When printing out your codex, don't print the pages that just have pictures. They will end up enormous and you will waste tons and tons of ink (I think I went through 3 cartridges of black ink and most or maybe all of a package of paper on my first printing attempt). Also, Greyscale, as color printing is very ink-intensive and basically pointless in this context. Also, if you use Calibre to view eBooks on your computer, you'll probably want to make sure it's using the right margin and paper size every time you print. Maybe it's my unfamiliarity with it, but I haven't found a way to change the default printing settings. I recommend a 10 or 15 millimeter margin on all sides. And one thing you'll definitely want to do before printing anything is to open up a print preview, get the settings of paper size and margin where you want them, then go through the pages in Print Preview and make a note of which pages you want to print. Then print the first page range, make sure it looks okay, then proceed with printing the others (or adjust and try again if it doesn't look okay). On my first printing attempt, I ended up having to toss out all of it because I didn't notice that it was set to a paper size that was 3 inches longer than the paper I was using, and the paper was off-center for some reason, so it cut off the bottom and side of pretty much every page. Don't trust the page count from the main viewer, as it'll be different when you actually print it out - the print preview one should be accurate.

Well, I think that the problem is stock holding.
GW prevents it by limited editions and digital products.

I will bet they are going to release a hard back version and it will prob lose a lot of what the GKs did ---- Psychic Pilot, servo skulls, and psybolt. I wouldn't be surprised if they do something to the reg psykers.

Good News! .epub files have no DRM protection. You can literally just copy and past the images and text into a word processing program and re-arrange the pictures/text as you see fit. I did that to make both the Sister and Inquisition books work as a physical copy (things like making sure tables that spread over multiple pages where arranged so the book would lie open on both them, artwork of the various Units lining up with their Army Entry pages etc). Then I printed (full colour/double sided) and bound it at work when no-one was looking  It takes a little bit of effort, but again I did that at work under the guise of actual work
