Is the rulebook going to be separate or just a part of the box... or for free online like the 40k rules?

The rulebook will be made available separately once the first few weeks of the box release are over; the rules will categorically not be free online.

Its available to preorder next week. Liber books as well.

No, they usually end up online on the Monday after the preorder announcement.

Cheers.

Yeah cause now is the time 3rd parties fight over the stock!

I guess with this new edition I'll go back to staring at the "online only," & "Temporarily Out of Stock," tags on GWs site.

Ugh.

Can I ask you guys a favor, those of you who get the books soon, can you tell me if there are rules for small games or Zone Mortalis level gaming? I haven't seen anything online for it.

Have only seen the Euro price list (from TGA)

Cheers for that, DaveC

67,50€ for the MKII - I'll wait for discounters to get stock. Feel like its a bit much for 4 identical sprues, I suppose I just dont fancy em enough..

That's kind of you Dave. Cheers.


£33.50 for the Liber Questoris...roughly. Hmmmm...not bad.

Thanks Dave!

And looks like that $300US might be right - or, given how GW does 'conversion rates" - maybe too low!!!

ZM rules will be a free PDF in November, per the roadmap -

Thanks!

Someday I'm going to read the entire thread before posting...

But not today!

When I cross referenced the leaked GBP price a few weeks ago, it came to $310 in US GW conversion.

Sorry, I thought the prices were already in the thread, these seem to be the UK prices:

The whole Horus Heresy section has been removed from Warhammer Digital. But the Legions Imperialis and Adeptus Titanicus sections are still there.

My FLGS just posted his pre-order prep list and the new box is $315.00.
The Liber books are 65 for the marines each and 52 for the others.

Nicked from B&C for more currencies:

No worries.

Americans getting rinsed by the orange man's tarriffs by the looks of it.

You still get 20 guys in the tactical squad box, right? So not toooooo bad.

Give it a rest. All this is is GW overcompensating, yet again. The GW price hikes are as predictable as the proverbial Broken Clock, keeping time.

Straight conversion at the time of typing? £1 gets you $1.36.

So £54 is $73.32. The additional $11.68 isn’t terribly unusual for GW’s prices.

£54 = $100CAD, $112AUS and €62.57

So all have a bit of a mark up. Which is most likely explained by shipping costs, with the vast majority of GW’s goodies being made in Nottingham.

USD prices have been pegged at about 1.6x the GBP prices for years now.

The Questoris book is reasonably priced when comparing it to 40k codicies... And I will buy it for the background work on Knights and Titans alone.

We've discussed around. Basically no one will be buying any of the books. The prices are outrageous. Base rulebook+Knights rulebook = 76 euros for half assed rules that will be outdated in 3 years. Thanks, I will use pirated pdfs instead
What's that? I also have Custodes, Mechanicum, and 1 of each loyalist and traitor legions? Well now, that would be around 230 euros, or a 6.4 monthly subscription. This is pure fething insanity.

I have decided to take the plunge and get the boxed set and the 2 Libers. However, this may be my last rodeo with edition churn; if this stuff is indeed made obsolete in 3 years, I will probably throw in the towel. Aside from the major issue with repeatedly re-writing the rules, which is that models and units that have been painstakingly assembled and painted get invalidated, there is something rather immoral about discarding large, expensive tomes like this on a regular basis.

My loyalist liber from v2 still has a shrink on it. No one wants it, I will just bin it

I have a few WH40k books that I barely looked at, including at least one rulebook that's still in its shrink wrap (I must have skipped that edition). We're moving house soon, so I'll be chucking out virtually all of the WH40k books and codexes that post-date 3rd Edition. I'm keeping my 2nd Edition Heresy rulebook and libers, however.

Both things are true.
