Some of you may not be surprised that my review doesn't really focus on these things and that taking different flavour of chaos in your HQ choices 'unlocks' various flavours of Chaos as troop types. Bonza. What ever.
My review:
The new book is hardbacked and decorated like the AD&D 3.5 Players Handbook. A huge step forward in production values. And cost.
I don't like it. Can I have a softback one please ? With B&W decoration like the old ones ? Not looking forward to a new set of Codices in the new 'improved' format. I prefer the old style (less expensive) codices.
Review over.
ha ha, love the review! I have to say that I agree- bigger isn't always better. Who wants to carry around a heap of heavy codices anyway?

*'opponent' that was meant to say! I swear I don't hit my wife with my gaming books!!!
DeleteSo, if you don't use gaming books, as a rule of thumb then, what do you hit your wife with ?
DeleteYep. Smaller and cheaper is better. Especially as the BRB appears to have eaten all the pies. And priced by weight as well.
ReplyDeleteThe weight of the rulebook and codex is almost as awesome as the price.
ReplyDeleteMwuhahaha! Love this review.. spot on.. and totally agree.. though sad to hear that Dark Apostle isn't the new black.. oh well, thankfully there are those who appreciate a fluffy army over a WAAC one..
ReplyDeleteHumm I think the Dark Apostle should be a sort of deep red with little words all over his, er, self.
Deletebest review yet
ReplyDeleteSeconded. The 3ed Codex for Guard is the thinnest but seemed to have the most in it. Bring-back-paper-back!
