I got mine on eBay for 15$. So not a whole lot.

Limited... Well that's is rather unfortunate.

I would have liked to pick up a reprint of RT, but I guess I"ll deposit that money into my savings account. Thank you GW for helping me make better financial choices.

That's kinda cool. I have two copies of the original. One hardback one softcover.

But, as was said, you can actually get them on EBay for a reasonable price if you don't have the desire or ability to ravel all the way to an event to get a reprint. They pop up from time to time.

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...

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.

I got a near mint copy off eBay a few months ago that I paid $70 for. They go for like $20-100, depending on condition.

This is about the long and short of it.

First run copies are easy enough to get, second run soft backs more so.

Flash the words 'Limited' on a release and you'd think they were talking about air the way some flail about, and for something the same people have merrily been ignoring for the last 20 odd years. Chill fellers, one look at the rules for following fire, vehicle damage points (and cost!) or vehicle turning radius, and you'll wonder what the fuss was about.

Ahh, but the exploits of Abdul Goldberg make up for that. Not to mention the subplots about how people start aquiring MACS or a visit from Dr Gostellos Amazing Intergalactic Pyschic Circus!

A reprint of the Book of the Astronomican would be welcome...

I paid £7.50 for a mint condition copy.

Now that, I would get in a froth about!

Not quite what I was expecting for 8th edition, but it looks like fun.

I was not the lucky in price, although I am happy with the purchase.

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

Yeh, not from anywhere that may have an abundance of such scans.

I think I got my hardcover RT book for $20. Maybe $25. But that was close to ten years ago.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Now if they'd reprint The Loathesome Ratmen and All Their Vile Kin, that would be worth getting excited about.

I have the ratmen book and rogue trader, I want the Jes Goodwin book!

...well...


..it's not impossible one hears.

The New Year Open Day is nearly here! We're busy getting everything ready here at Warhammer World, but thought you'd all like to see a few more cool things that will be available for the first time on Monday 2nd January, exclusively at the Open Day.
Without further ado, feast your eyes!

That Custodes Contemptor.. hnnnnng..!

ooo, Iron Hills dwarf command. Gotta poke a local now.These poor/lucky-awesomely-lucky guys

Ooh, Zug looks like Zug and not the weird portrait version

God, I hope this custodes stuff is going to be available for 40k. These models are incredible.

I'm more excited for The Mighty Zug...hopefully he gets a splash release at retail shops.

They're saying €100 or UK equivalent for the Rogue Trader reprint.. if true, feth that noise!

£100 ? Cheaper to buy an original ?

I'm going to find out soon enough I suppose, my friends are on their way to WHW now I think.

Really?

Blimey, nothing less than leather bound gold leaf lettering and some free stuff would be worth that, but for a printed scan!

I'll stick with the tatty paint covered copy with pages falling out thanks GW.

It's £35, on the event flyer

Yay, the world did not end!

Hey

As usual, my bunnies are there and we will have a coverage over the day on the blog:

I wonder if those Knight heads are for the Cerastus frames or the plasticus ones..?
