8th Addition Rule Book Poll

Now I like a big thick book as much as the next man, but you guys are going to have serious problems with the binding on that baby. The book is too thick for its own good and the binding will not be able to cope.

Thing is I've heard people say similar things about codexes and how some of them just fall apart and have had to be re-bound and yet I have 6 codexes and 1 armybook and none of them have even had one page come out.

Ive never had any problems with those either, and dont know anybody that has. A codex is not even a quarter of the size though, so I wouldnt expect them to.

Eh my space marine codex is getting pretty raged with pages getting lose and I dont even play marines so it doesnt get used as much as say my IG codex.

I still dunno about the new 8th book tho. I really want to get it but at the same time I'm trying to build an army and $75 is a big chunk of my budget for minis. But then again I doooo need the rules to play and it is an incredible looking book...sigh I dunno yet

I have seen that issue with the codices/army books, but I have never had a problem with a book that was hard bound...ever. I own books that are thicker than this rulebook and are still good years later.

The Pathfinder book is a prime example Im told

I guess I could see that with a RPG book, because it is constantly referenced...I own a book with more than 1100 pages that has held up fine after being read a few times...

HI all.
Personally I think a 'rule book' should just have rules in it.
A background book should have as many pretty pictures and inspiring stories as it can pack in.

This way customers can decide which books they want.
Collectors dont have to waste money on rules they wont use, Gamers dont pay for background they may not care about.

So you can buy one or both books depending on your hobby focus.

As you can get the Armies of Arcana rule book for £20 , and this includes acess to over 20 FREE army lists that are far more ballanced than WHFB.(The result of 8 years playtesting in the community.)

WHFB 8th ed 'big book' seems a little overpriced to me.
