Kramer Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hi everyone, When ghb 2016 dropped I bought it through iBooks. I found it very nice to have it on different devices. Shortly after I learned that the app shows you the points if you bought the handbook through the app. Also I kind of miss the hard copy just as something to have on the table instead of digital. So im not convinced on what version to buy. So I got curious. How is everybody buying their generals handbook ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stato Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hard copy wins for me. I would buy the digital in addition to the hard copy if there was any offer given to get even a slight discount on the digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percy Verance Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I bought the £45 set because I like stuff. Can never have to much stuff. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 My dilemma is that I'm working in Montreal this week and not back in the UK for a month. So I might have to buy a baguette version as I can't wait a whole month : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Grimwood Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 App for me, I bought the original in hard copy as well but found I never used it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhellion Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Buying 2 Warlord's Editions and will eventually also get the digital version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokapoke Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm buying the hard copy because I'm the kind of guy who likes to own the books. And I've got an Azyr subscription (for a paltry US$1/month plus tax) so that I'm able to readily find points values using the app. Best of both worlds!

13on2D6 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Buy the hard copy to look like I know what I am doing at the start of a game reading the scenario! *I didn't read the rules pack for the last 2 tournaments I went to - I tend to just play lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk I can say now, it is a brilliant set. The 9" rulers are very useful and the dials are nicer that just using dice for scoring for sure.

TheWilddog Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I tried the digital version for the last GHB and ended up buying a hard copy too. Over long gaming days I hate having to worry about the power level of my device, just need the book in my hand sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to some extent here, however, I can't enter the rage on hardcopy books. Only on anything worthless like flyers, commercial in mailbox that nobody never uses and the 5000 letters I get from insurance companies offering life insurance... But I see your point for sure!

Wraith01 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'll be picking up a physical edition at some point in the next few months. I'm not in a rush to get it. Will probably wait for a good discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I've ordered the Warlords edition and I don't believe GW has indicated the various extras (which look pretty awesome) will be available separately.

Gaz Taylor Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I've ordered a physical copy which I'm hoping turns up tomorrow before I go away for work. If I had an ipad, I would have gone digital but my wife nicked it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherJosh Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 There was an iBooks enhanced edition version of the prior GHB. Anyone know if there will be an enhanced edition version of the 2017 edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payce Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Warlord edition, Open War cards and Ironjawz cards. Because why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kugane Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I bought the digital edition of GHB last year of the black library (not sure if its the right name, its the GW site for digital downloads), I experienced nothing but issues with this edition - starting off with downloads not working/getting interrupted and corrupted halfway, the ebook not being able to be processed by any of my tablets, e-book readers or even e-book programs on my pc. I had to figure out a work around opening it up in Google Chrome with an addon. Long story short: Never buying the digital edition off them again, unless they provide the book as a pdf.

BunkhouseBuster Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 My FLGS was feeling nice I guess, and had the GH2017 available to purchase. I grabbed it with the Open War cards and hope to give them a shot soon. I hope to read it some tonight and get a feel for how the game will work moving forward. I can appreciate how others want to have everything on a device instead of a printed hardcopy. But myself? I prefer the tactile nature of the hobby, including the whole flipping pages through a book to look stuff up. Plus, don't have to worry about batteries draining and can play without electricity.

Any chance if you could tell me if there are points/rules for death rattle units in there? (Don't need to post the points of course, just looking forward to it!)
