IMO, the 7.5 euro level is the way to go with this bundle. You mostly want Mark of the Xeno and Rites of Battle.

Thanks for the heads-up. I have a number of the books in .pdf already, but the 2 lower tiers might still be worth it for me.

Is this digital only? I have no idea what I'm looking at here. I was thinking about getting the first book when it came out years ago so this may be ideal.

Downloaded Final Sanction to see how it plays. May actually get the whole shebang. By the by, here's the link for anyone who wants to dip their toes:

They've spread the books out fairly evenly, which is interesting.
The Jericho Reach, my fav DW book, is in the third tier. Honour the Chapter and The Achillus Assault (first book I worked on for FFG) are in the final tier.

That's quite a deal for that many books - and then you can use the coupon for 20% off the new RPG.

No brainer, this is. Now we need Only War and Black Crusade and I think that'll round out FFGs RPGs.

Why do you like Jericho Reach above the others? Is there something stand out about that book in particular?
Also, what did you contribute to Achillus Assault? (If you're allowed to say.)

I think black crusade and only war didn't have eneugh books to make a single humble bundle out of each but combine them together and you'd have a pretty solid bundle

It's a big meaty book with a lot of fluff and a lot of crunch. I like how it expanded upon everything that was in The Achillus Assault, how it completed all the missing Tyranids (well, for the time - more stuff from GW came later). The adventure was pretty fun as well (that was a fun set of play-tests). Snrub wrote:Also, what did you contribute to Achillus Assault? (If you're allowed to say.)
That book wasn't my first writing gig with FFG, but it was my first paid gig. We did the play testing on that book ages beforehand, so my group and I had read the entire book. Then I was asked to do proof-reading on the book, so I got to read it from cover-to-cover once again (  ) now that it had gone through layout/graphics and editing. Taught me that there is a LONG time between writing a book and seeing it in print, well before I actually started writing for them. It's weird that my group playtested just about every DW book in the line, but I never wrote for that game. I did all the others (bar Rogue Trader), but not DW. It's also why out of all the RPGs DW is the one we've played the most, even though we prefer Dark Heresy and Black Crusade.
