Me and some friends already have the main rulebook but I seen the set of books for the end times, are they worth getting or just stick to the normal rules?

Are you still playing Warhammer Fantasy 8th ed? The End Times books were written for that game and the fluff is set in the old world. If you are playing AoS they don't have much use, IMO.

BECAREFUL. I know the latest "set" GW is selling is just FLUFF and NO RULES so be careful what "set" you are buying.

The fluff is more valuable than the rules. But as pointed out don't pay more for them than you need to.

I spent more money on them than I'd like to because I bought them when people still thought they were going to be valuable transitional rules to 9th...

I have the Skaven one. Haven't used the rules for it really. I still play 8th Ed Fantasy and I just got it because skaven are my main army and my favourite army (and first fantasy one) so I've amazed like 7k points of them and have almost everything for them so I thought that I needed it, for the fluff more than the rules....yet I still haven't had any time to read it and I've had it since preorder lol

I don't think they are worth getting unless you want the fluff....Thanqoul came with some pretty awesome campaign rules tho actually which I've been meaning to try!

I like the novels.

I bought all the hardbacks and all the novels. Well worth it.

Never thought i would see books go out of date so fast, what a way to destroy a following and nick there cash all at once. Have never felt so cheated in my hobby!

See, I don't understand this. Unless you do 100% of your gaming in a gw store, those books and rules can last for as long as you choose to use them, in the same way that I might plug the master system in once in a while for a game of Alex the Kid. If you do do all of your gaming in a gw store, having to buy new stuff is the compromise that have to accept in exchange for free entry, free use of terrain covered tables, ready access to other opponents etc.

you hit the nail on the head my friend, i do do all gaming in a GW store, what a sad state of being i'm at

I feel for you then, it was a lot to spend for 6 months gaming!

I bought the novels, and quite enjoyed them.

I am curious. How many games did you get in?
