I
just received my copy of the new rulebook (I know, a bit late, but
there were some supply issues) and have decided to share my initial
response.
The
book itself is gorgeous, big and heavy. The paper is thick, and the
printing is impeccable. And this is only the normal version, I would
love to get my hands on a collectors edition.
As
with most of the GW rulebooks, the rules come first in the book,
followed by 300+ pages of background, missions, hobby related items
and reference tables. I have yet to read through the 130 pages of
rules yet, but a few new rules such as mystery terrain and artifacts
really stood out on a quick flick through.
There
are a lot of pictures of beautiful boards and army’s in this book.
I think maybe to many. I do believe there should be two versions you
can buy, this version and an version with just the rules. Yes there
will be a A5 rulebook in the new box set most likely, but the option
to get it on its own would be nice, and most gamers would have both
anyway.
Overall,
I was very impressed with the presentation of this book. I cant
comment on the rules, there will be another post soon dicussing them,
and only time will tell if they stand up. If you have a spare £45
knocking around I would recommend getting this if not for just the
pictures and story alone.
First
impression presentation: 9.5
