I have been trying to keep up to date with what is going on, but it seems I am a little behind. 2 or 3 weeks ago when Shadow Wars Armageddon I missed out on getting it. Today I guess I won the lottery, I was able to find a copy of it for sale. So 2 hour drive later (there and back) I am finally home and I am wondering should I cancel the book I pre ordered from my FLGS? I thought I read somewhere I can get the updates for free on GW website.

I am not sure since a few people seem to be complaining instead of grateful on getting a copy that they have an out dated book. Is it really outdated? I thought with the free update the book is perfect usable. So I want to make sure since as I said, I am behind the times a bit for the last few weeks on what is what.

I also bought the $90 building since I thought I wouldn't be able to get the boxset. So I am wondering should I call up Games Workshop and see if I can return it since they say they have a money back guarantee or is that only if you bought it through the webstore? If I can get a refund and return it, should I? Would I be albe to use it with the included scenery in the boxset? If so any ideas what I can do?

The new book is the old book but with the current PDF rules for various forces added in.

Doesn't seem worth it if you have the original book - I find it's actually more convenient to have the print out of just the 5 pages for whatever force I'm using that game.

Even if you get the new book, it may soon be out of date anyway as new forces get released.

You'll need a lot more terrain than what comes in the box to make a decent SWA table, so if you've got the money and want to do a GW industrial table, it's still worth keeping. The GW industrial terrain line is inter-compatible.

Thank you very much Asmodai. Greatly appreciated. So I will cancel my order for the book and get more minis then. Good to know I can use more buildings as well.
