    Default 8th Addition Rule Book Poll

    Lets see what the general feeling on this is.

    I think there should be both kinds of books; even though myself personally, I'd only get a small one.
    It is not the combat I resent, brother. It is the thirst for glory that gets men cut into ribbons.

    I also think there should be both a BRB and a LRB. I believe this simply because not everyone is the same. Some people want a BRB with lots of fluff, like myself. And others want a LRB with just the rules, also like myself. Some people don't want to buy Island of Blood for the little rule book.

    Although I am a bit of a fan boy, I totally understand not wanting to pay an arm an a leg for rules or models. I'll probably buy GW stuff until I die for many reasons, but one in particular, is that it brought me and my two life long best friends together. For that alone, I have a soft spot in my heart of GW.

    In the end I think options for different rule books is the best bet.

    I couldn't see the harm in releasing a cheaper 'just rules book', I'm sure many in the communty would be pleased with this. Still, I guess that's what Ebay is for.
    Souls. Yum.

    I agree. It is a thing of beauty.

    I agree that it is a beautiful book that's awesome- I just don't need its hobby content, and I don't need to lug that thing around whenever I want to play. Thus, I won't buy it (though I will enjoy perusing through it occasionally at my FLGS).

    PS- It's 8th edition, not 8th addition.

    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.
