It's Warhammer World, silly!

I'll give you three guesses. You won't need them all.

**MrFlutterPie**

Hello GW I have money and I would like to give it to you.

NO!

**em_en_oh_pee**

BETTER SEE SOME HOUSE VYRONII DECALS POP UP AT THIS EVENT.

And anyone going better ship me a few sets.

Plus, damn I want Grak and Crumbleberry! Just got into BB and really want more miniatures!

Get your hands on an exclusive piece of Warhammer 40,000 history – Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader is coming back from the archives for 2017!

Throughout 2017 Games Workshop will be celebrating 30 years of Warhammer 40,000, and we’re starting the party at Warhammer World’s New Year’s Open Day. The book that began Warhammer 40,000 as a table top strategy battle game will be available, in a faithful reproduction, to add to your archives – It’s truly an artifact to be proud of.

How faithful is this reproduction? It’s been created from a scan of an original edition, taken from Games Workshop’s own Archives!

Alongside the Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader book a mug is also available, with the cover art wrapped around it, Crimson Fists blazing away in the now famous last stand formation.

The first time you’ll be able to get your book and mug will be January 2nd, and you’ll only be able to get them in person, at Warhammer World, and at selected events around the world through 2017.

Rogue Trader reprint?!

Available only at Warhammer World and "selected events"?

Me: GW, I want to give you my money.
GW: No!

**Vorian**

Limiting RT is beyond stupid

**Bottle**

Omg amazing. I have been thinking of rebinding my 2nd Edition books and Necromunda books into fancy hardbacks. If they did this for 2nd Edition I would definitely get it!

This is me with the Space Marine Command Tanks. WHY IS MY AMERICAN MONEY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU, GW?!

**Chikout**

Surely one of the select events will be adepticon.

P-Bandai, motherfethers, P-Bandai!

One suspects that this -- allbeit in limited quantities -- will be at every show FW go to this year.

30th birthday and all that.

It will lack the pull-out sections -- they'll be included just not in the tear out format of yore ( and will be blue still) and, owing to a quirk of UK law m will have original typos et al still too.

**Charax**

oh I really hope this is available at Salute

**tneva82**

Bummer. Uk tad too far for a book. Sigh. Rulewise likely best release from gw in 2017

**BrookM**

I'm glad a friend of mine is going to the UK early next year, excellent timing.

Oh cool, so it's only one normally expensive travel, acommodation, and event ticket tax, rather than a ruiniously expensive one.

I'm starting to get heartily sick of GW's "you must be at least this wealthy to buy our product" garbage, if they really hate the idea of normal folk buying their stuff just increase the prices of the products themselves and be done with it.

**kronk**

I will get my mug, hopefully, at AdeptiCon this year.

**JohnnyHell**

Will this invalidate current codexes??? :-D

**GoatboyBeta**

Interesting, think I've still got an original copy somewhere in the attic. Doubt its in good nick though. Might have to add this to the list of stuff to pick up from WH world when FW get round to releasing Inferno.

**Nostromodamus**

They could sell the gak out of this if they put it up on their webstore.

But nooooo...........

**Howard A Treesong**

I'd like a copy to replace mine which is falling apart, but I don't think I go to any events FW attend.

When I read the “Faithful reproduction” part my first thought was “Including the crappy binding?”

Part of me would love to have a copy that I didn’t need to worry about keeping all the pages inside the cover and in order. But I can’t justify the cost/hoops I’d have to jump though to get one.

I’d love a mug on the other hand.

I’ll toss my vote on the “Why doesn’t GW want my money?” pile. I’m a stingy miser when it comes to spending, but I keep seeing these limited releases I’d plunk down cash for. But they need to be available at my FLGS, or even online. There isn’t even an official GW store within 100 miles of me.

It's face is still better sculpted than a lot of the limited edition marines, I wonder why that is?
And not so limited marines.

When it comes to faces, most of it is the painting rather than the sculpting. I found with a lot of the older LotR models they looked terrible in pictures of painted models but in bare metal they actually look really good.

I would be excited if it was a re-mastered, properly reprinted copy available for sale. The "it's a scan of the original!" is not confidence inspiring. That sounds awfully lazy. That being said, I'd have considered buying one if it was a regularly available item. For $200+ on eBay in a month or two? No thanks. I am completely fine with GW limiting X, Y and Z to wherever they want to sell them. I think it's completely fair - but completely stupid at the same time. If the RT re-print is any good they could sell a lot of them. As indicated, they will probably sell a few of them. I don't pretend the understand the logic.

Ideally I'd have liked to see them release stuff like this as a print-on-demand style format. Bump the price, but let the market determine how many they buy.

**Zwan1One**

The need to give people a reason to visit warhammer world I guess? But if I get the opportunity maybe I'll head up or search them out at an event...

**Vorian**

The limited edition models, It's annoying, but understandable.

Tying a RT reprint to WHW is just dumb.

THAT was my first thought too.

Mmh, wasn't something like this in one of the limited rulebook editions (5th?)?

**Stormonu**

Rogue Trader ruleset is the one book I had that didn't survive my college years - only it and the BattleTech Compedium had a binding that fell apart on me. I'd love a reprint, but that's a bit too far to go just to get a copy. And of course the scalpers will make it impossible to buy a copy off E-bay at a reasonable price.

I do wish they would set up a POD version, like on drivethruRPG that would be available, but GW would never 'devalue' their product like that...

**Starfarer**

I'm rarely super critical of GW, but the limited edition items are one they really need to work on.

If they want to do limited runs like the codexes through the webstore, that's fine. At least everyone has a fair shot at ordering them. But event only items for stuff like this is stupid considering they are just adding to the secondhand market for their products.

Nostalgia items like the RT hardback reprint are going to sell like crazy. Why limit your profit on this?

Anyway, if anyone is going to Adepticon and wants to do me a huge solid of grabbing an extra copy, please let me know. I'm happy to pay in advance via Paypal and cover shipping obviously, and a little extra for the troubles.

If a reprint would sell lot's of money, I am curious how much my original would go for. Not perfect condition but since it was only read as a book since I didn't find any players to play with at the time I am curious how much it would go for. Not going to sell it, but just curious how much it would go for.
