GW is out of it's damned mind.

Are they trying to get people to leave them?

It's a nice hardcover I suppose but yikes, that's kinda steep.

Only Warlock31 Oct 2014 4:22 p.m. PST

They should have released in softcover for a $24.99 USD price point.

Hey, it worked with their Specialist Games followers…

It's the skull on the cover

Everything costs more when you put a skull on the cover

And this is a surprise because?

Only Warlock31 Oct 2014 5:54 p.m. PST

Not a surprise, just sad. I had hoped with the corporate shake up they might try sensible policies for a change. Too much to hope.

If you are looking for one search e-bay for the Stormclaw mini-rulebook, I also think the new Dark Vengeance has the 7th ed. mini rulebook also.

Well, it does state that "it was created with the gamer in mind." You know that's gonna make it cost extra.

It's only $20 USD more than the DBA 3.0 book, and that is a minimalist approach to Ancients and Medievals. If the 40K book is full color with all kinds of eye candy, then by my standards that is a reasonable price. Black Powder and Hail Caesar both retail for $48 USD, Field of Glory is $35. USD I would have expected a GW book to be more by comparison.

I bought a lotto ticket today. If I win more than 30 million I just might get that 40k book…. ;-)

If it IS a handy-dandy rules reference for the serious-minded player, then it shouldn't have a bunch of kewl Bleeped texting pictures and little stories to begin with, because Nobody looks at that crap in the middle of a game.

And so then it shouldn't cost sixty bucks.

Mako1131 Oct 2014 11:30 p.m. PST

Only $58 USD?

Seems underpriced to me, in the GW marketing world.

Someone must be slipping, or on vacation.

Bwahahaha, the $29,999,942 USD left will be spent on the minis for two opposing armies with all the extras. Oh, I almost forgot there are all the game accessories like dice and templates etc. You are getting hooked in Zephyr, you know it. Besides, it has a skull on the book!

Not enough skulls I tell you!

Cardinal Ximenez01 Nov 2014 7:11 a.m. PST

For another $30 USD and a little time searching on the web you can get the entire 7th edition Dark Vengeance box set.

Well… I can consistently sell the mini-softcover for $40 USD on ebay. This is the one from Stormclaw and Dark Vengeance
