<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Start collecting "exclusive" rules"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Start collecting "exclusive" rules 40k since the old days where you used to buy an army book, select models from that army book and then field those models on the table.

I'm vaguely aware that there's been some kind of rush to embrace microtransactions with dozens of mini formation rule sheets online.

But what of these formation rules from these Start Collecting boxes? Is that seriously the only place to acquire the rules sheet or are they bundled in the online shop somewhere?

Have we fallen so far?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679292.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679292.page GMT Start collecting "exclusive" rules http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679297.page GMT Start collecting "exclusive" rules http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679307.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679307.page GMT Start collecting "exclusive" rules ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679310.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679310.page GMT Start collecting "exclusive" rules
Also a bunch of formations and whatnot are only available in White Dwarfs now, which is annoying because sometimes I would be arguing with someone about their army being invalid only to later realize it was a formation from a WD that I never heard of and never read.

Many tables were flipped.

The good thing is sometimes these get reprinted in supplements, like Skyhammer Annhilation force got reprinted in Angels of Death. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679320.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679320.page GMT Start collecting "exclusive" rules

A shame they don't do an annual roundup of these things and put them in a nice hardback.

Ok - good to know that these were only ever available in the starter boxes - I don't want to be caught in a GW store with some shady b&w printout.

Hah - yeah when I saw the 'supposed' Necron one - I thought... "no that can't be real". I can't imagine my reaction in-game if someone pulled it without having the physical paper with them. "Yeah sure buddy - your whole unit just comes back."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679363.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679363.page GMT Re:Start collecting "exclusive" rules GW store included a copy of the Formation inside of my Ork Codex. I bought the Start Collecting Box a day prior, but it was a nice gesture. This wouldn't help if you bought the book prior to a new box set, but they may be willing to give you a copy of the rules if extras are onhand.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679440.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8679440.page GMT Start collecting "exclusive" rules

Just look online, I typed in "skitarii start collecting formation" and it was the first result that popped up in google.

Nobody is going to shed any tears if you take that offline, it's a 4x6" laminated card that comes in the boxes. If somebody seriously gets annoyed that you photocopied that they've got bigger issues. It isn't like you ripped an entire rulebook. I will say though that if you want the models in the boxes they're excellent value. One of the only things I've bought new from GW in a long time, they're nice boxes for starting a force or just getting a painting project.

Most of the formations are very minor as well. For example the Skitarii one basically just gives you preferred enemy if you're within 18" of the dominus]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8680268.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692071/8680268.page GMT
