Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, had a quick look and couldn't see anything. Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness is getting a reprint, available from the open day in Jan, £36. I was in whw today and read the flyer, but foolishly didn't pick one up. Cheers.

Edit- my mate did pick up a copy;

Nice touch. Slaves is one of the best books I feel GW has ever put out. Properly fleshed out (pun intended) Chaos, particularly Khorne and Slaanesh. Will be interesting if they retain the "For mature readers only" label on the front.

If its a permanent WHW item I could be tempted to pick a copy up the next time I'm over that way. It would look good next to the RT reprint

Would love to get this reprint as well as one for The Lost and The Damned.

Those two books, along with WFRP 1E, are literally why I got into WFB and then 40K (and Epic, and..etc.etc. etc.!).

Got the RT book when I was visiting last year, but I’d really like to get hold of STD (ooer) before my next visit. I wonder if they would do a limited time online sale?

Seems like a sort of odd choice to me. Yeah there's a lot of great art but none of the game content is useable and most of the fluff is obsolete. I guess the giant tables of random mutations are still fun.

If you can buy it outside GW events(none here) great! This and lost&damned have been on my wishlist for ages. Even small snippets I have seen have been treasure trove.

There's always a market for nostalgia, ecurtz.

True enough, but isn't that what eBay is for? It's not like they are really hard to find, even The Lost and the Damned.

Current eBay listings are about 4-5 times the price of the reprint though...

Lost and the Damned especially is not a cheap book to find in good condition.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, rogue trader reprint, this, made to order metals, thats my thing.

Warhammer World Exclusive Book of Utter Joy???

See my sig folks!

This has been a.......wait for it

Also, increases the chances we might get my wish of other reprints, including the frankly amazing Ork book.

Me too.

I've got an original copy of Slaves to Darkness, but never got hold of LatD.

Do you mean those precious here?
All mine, mine miiiiineeee

I had both. Then I moved out and parents happened...

Got both myself. Before eBay, no less. Got Slaves in 1989 (in the US). Local hobby shop had to order it for me out of a catalog. LatD got delayed and delayed and delayed, but finally found a copy in 1995 at some crusty old bookstore.

Would probably get reprints to protect the originals. Slaves really set a strong tone for Chaos in both the Old World and 40K. Both stories and art. ''Twas a golden time.

My copy is basically falling apart by now, so I would love to get this. Unfortunately with it being event only, I'm not gonna get a chance to get it most likely.

Something for the shopping list then.

Thanks.

Wonder what else is on that flyer?

Looks like something new for Blood Bowl.

I wouldn't say it's obsolete just some of the details have changed but the broad principles are there - and this is Chaos we are talking about so who knows what the real truth is

If GW produce the LATD as well then that has a warband type skirmish game that, with StD, does allow you to play out their evolution as a campaign (you'll need rules from 3rd edition). Just be warned it can become unbalanced though if someone rolls well for rewards!

I wish someone would do a chaos computer game complete with random mutations.

I really liked the idea in the 2 realms of chaos books that you were trying to gain more gifts than mutations and ultimately you'd end up either a spawn or a daemon prince (or dead, but even then you might rise again).

Not too practical for a mini game (unless you want to buy a new figure and convert it after each battle) but tons of fun if a computer keeps track of that.

Not much that isn't already out there, but here it is;

Tempting as my books are a bit battered now.

They are a great read and source of info.

Great books. Classics on how books for GW should be written.

They have the old school chaos bands lists, and are damn near games in their own right that still hold up after all these years.

Still a huge bummer that those Command Tanks never saw full scale release.

Friends are staying a week in Nottingham and they're also attending on Saturday, so I've asked them to bring along a copy of the book and a Necromunda pin if they get a chance to.

I really love my copy of Rogue Trader they released last year, it has been on my to-buy list for a long time now, but due to the prices asked for some copies out there and the state they are in, I never bought one second hand. A blast to read though, loads of fun nuggets in there, so I can't wait to see how this one is for me.

I could definitely go for a Slaves to Darkness mug.

I'm trying to get my ninja shopper to pick me up a copy of Slaves to Darkness this weekend - but no confirmation yet!
