my biggest worry for apoc is they will release the russ tank multi kits again like they have released these new bundles... and atm those 10 russes will cost you £310! >.< Also just relised they wont re-release the emperors fist tank company again, old russ hulls so they'd have to re-cut them. more likely just do a bundle offer

Whine whine moan moan how dare they release something new. Actually, it's not even that. They could have FAQ'ed the rules, but instead, they went with a $40 book.

Whine whine moan moan how dare they release something new. Actually, it's not even that. They could have FAQ'ed the rules, but instead, they went with a $40 book. Yes. This. Much of the outrage I've seen is stemming from the fact that GW are essentially reproducing stuff from the White Dwarf fliers issue, along with some material that was already presented in Crusade of Fire, and throwing in a little extra bit of "new" content, where a FAQ would have covered the matter. Also, the whole having it available only in English thing is essentially a giant middle finger to 40K players around the world who don't speak or read English, and the "direct only" thing is perceived as being a giant middle finger to FLGSs everywhere, as well as people who might want to actually look through the book before deciding if they want to buy it or not--like me: Since I already have the WD, and CoF, I'm really not sure if I want to buy this book, and am waiting for a review on it before I decide.

I heard a rumour that that dashing rogue Paradill was due to receive a complimentary copy of the aforementioned tome and was figuring out a way to PDF it!
I'm as shocked and appalled as the rest of you. Really, I am.

You're assuming that's all it is... the description of the product makes it sound like a whole lot more than that. and I bet you a lot of the updated rules in the book are already covered in the current faqs, they'll just be adding what will porbably be considered optional rules on top of everything else. so guess what, don't buy it. Some of us like fluff and pictures and things, and that's just the the start of it. but sure...be cynical and depressing. Enjoy yourself.

There is a new video on the GW website. Sounds like an ad for the chaos demons book. So I would expect it to come out by the end of the month.

Paradill, you're lucky. You got a response from one of the gretchin that can actually use a keyboard.
As for the whole flyer book, frankly, I could give a rat's arse. My regular opponents don't even have fliers (Well, one of them has a dakkajet, but I use it just as much as he does.) I very rarely play pickup games down at the GW store, and if I do, it's simply a matter of "Oh, I don't have that book yet. Can I take a look at your copy real quick, just to familiarize myself with the new rules?"
Yes, it's a cash grab. Yes, it's poorly done and they could have made a lot of friends with a simpler/cheaper/digital release. But once again, we, the consumers, have the power to vote with our wallets. Don't wanna shell out $40 for a new book that basically amounts to a set of optional rules? Don't. If your local metagame requires it, find someone to let you mooch the book from until you've got it memorized. Simple solution.

Thanks for that...
both storm thingies are slightly cheaper.. which puts them more in line with other imperial flyers.
and, I can field them as part of my BT lists... which is interesting.
Also means that the Ironclad + Sternguard Raven Cargo Combo is legal now too...
