I always feel a bit sorry for them when stuff like this happens and things get out just before they get to reveal things themselves, but if they didn't drip feed it for so goddamn long it might not happen.

I think the fact that we are seeing the "aftershow" models indicates that these are likely going to be in a starter set or something that gets released right after Indomitus.

Or that they're putting all of the Easy to Build stuff into one easy to find place and they'll be placed in displays alongside of Indomitus or whatever starter set comes.

I get the splitting of the points and missions in the CA updates but it looks like a bit of a cash grab with a new Edition.
I'll still be buying both books though. For once I wont be getting the new box as I dont collect either army (and have too many others to start a new one!)

They said they'd be available in the app, so does the app cost money or does it just render the field manual obsolete out the gates?

Honestly, I'm a bit more puzzled by why the main rulebook isn't dropping separately.
Is there a main rulebook though? I'm a bit confused - I was interpreting it as the tournament book had all the rules in it, the other book the points and the narrative one the rules for the campaign stuff

The rulebook is in the box set, the chapter approved includes tournament circuit matched play missions (could have put them in the rule book imo) and points updates.

Nope. That's just missions and objectives.
The rules... so far its the box or nothing. Unsurprising, else why do the 'launch box' this way?

well that sucks.
rememebering back to 8th launch they did charge for points then as well thinking about it - we all had to buy the indexes. My Renegades and Heretics are still using theirs
Way to starter a new edition - "new fabulous edition with streamlined and improved rules - just buy these 4 books to play"

The good news is that you don’t have to wait long – Indomitus, Chapter Approved, the Crusade Journal and the Open War cards will all be available to pre-order from the 11th of July. Then, they will all be in-store from the 25th of July.
No mention of a standalone rulebook. Would they not release the rulebook at the same time to push Indomitus sales? Certainly not, right? Right!?

You had to buy the Indexes for 8th edition because the 7th edition codexes wouldn't work with the game...

As i recall regarding the app, they said if you purchase the physical rules you get a code or some way of unlocking the content in the app. So, buy chapter approved for 17 quid and then tell the app you bought it and boom, your app is updated with the most up to date points values.
I mean, we are meant to find out more about the app this week so we will see i guess.

It is entirely possible to play a game of 9th edition with the 8th edition points, just like it is possible to play 8th edition without the points updates in Chapter Approved.

So you can rock up to a GW event with GW app with a list sanctioned by GW with incorrect points because you didn't but chapter approved?

The "rules" will be free, yes. If it's anything like 8th edition the free rules don't actually give you enough material to play the game in the way the vast majority play it. The rules for detachments and missions were missing from the free 8th edition rules, for example.

Im probably not going to bother getting the extra books. The missions will be handy to have, but they will be endlessly reviewed online - not to mention the points will be easy enough to find anyway.
Will likely just wait to get the app (depending on value) and go from there.
As for the rulebook... If i dont get the box set i might get a digital copy of it later down the line once it is released separately.
