So, which ones got updated? Because I’m not seeing it :( 

On my ipad in iTunes Ko, Dok, doT, Idoneth Deepkin and malign portents got updated.  These are the books I have on my ipad. There are probably more.  You have to do it manually. They show up in the purchased section which has an icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.

And Skirmish got updated.... had to pull that from the Warhammer Digital site...

Did they by chance update the points in the back of DoT? (That would be amusing.)

Do they do this with Azyr as well? How do you buy standalone GW products in iTunes?

It’s in the iBooks store. (The iBooks app) select “search” For “Age Of Sigmar” at that will pull up the available Age Of Sigmar items (including battletomes and novels)

Unsure If they are doing updates to the “Enhanced editions” or not.

Well I already bought them Azyr and I plan on buying the core books (GHB, Rules and MP) in the Warlords set so I don’t want to buy stuff a 3rd time. I already bought a digital and physical copy of the Battletomes for my armies as wel zzzz.

I really hope they update the books in the AoS app. My Khorne book hasn’t changed. Maybe with a future app update?

Try deleting the book from the device and re-downloading it from your library, perhaps? (like you used to have to do for the war scrolls to get the updates.)

I’ve tried both deleting the book and the app itself but no luck. Maybe it’s tied to a future update ☹️

I'll be sticking with physical. I just prefer to hold a thing I've paid for when possible. I still buy CD s (average 1 per week), physical video game discs, and novels as well.  Interestingly, digital WD just got canned but physical remains.

Heck, I even shell out the extra moolah for some special edition Battletomes and books.

Yeah... the Digital WD should just be rolled into an epub3 with no fancy formatting IMO...

The updated edition DoT review:

All of the FAQs were input. (Though missed FAQ’s were not ... such as the Gaunt Summoner Rules for “Book Of Profane Secrets” ...)

Partial Points were updated in the points list in the back. (Pinks, Tzaangor, Acolytes got the update, LoC and Kairos did not ... as an example)

Fluff text in the unit profiles was often cleared to make space for updated text.

Fate point Summoning Table was added, the faq updated spells/Artefacts/Command Traits were all fixed. (They had to do a formatting page re-flow for the Command Traits.)

Pink Horrors have a remnant Of “”CHAOS WIZARDS know the summon pink horror spell ...”

Overall really pleased with the faq update.

I envy people that can do that. Stores here don't like people using digital rules, because they don't sell them and because it is hard to check if it is the legal thing or just a download. I hope that if GW goes full digital in the future they will still leave the option to buy actual books to people. 

Of course if they do go all digital then the Stores will presumably have to get with the time and start accepting them.

any person who decides to get only the digital book, will not be able to play at the store. So all first people that try to do it, will have spent money on models, the digital books and have no where to play. To this day no one has tried it, and probablly no one will.  Well maybe if they reintreduce paid tables like it was supposably in the past, but am not sure I would want that. 8-10 games and you just used up enough money for a hero or box of troops.

 

By the way I personally wouldn't mind if GW added digital codes to their printed books.

Sorry, I meant to say if Games Workshop does decided to go all digital, presumably that Store (and any other Stores that are similar) would have to start accepting digital copies.

They’re not likely to go digital because folks like to have paper in hand ... and it doesn’t require batteries that die at inopportune times ... ;)

I am also using all the battletomes via ibooks/itunes and loaded all the updates. 

Great work!  When I play tournaments, you just have all the rules ready without carrying all the books.

In addition I use the AOS app with azyr for a comfortable army building.

 

so I totally agree with theotherJosh

Ah ok, I think that here they would just stop supporting GW games, they already make most of their money from ccg and board games.  Again globaly I don't know how it would work. Sometimes I think that to play GW games you need a smart phone or tablet, a car to transport your models, because there is no way to transport something like multiple archeons by hand, and in the end game a house or at least a flat dedicted only to playing. ?

Does anyone have any thoughts on iBooks vs the AoS app? It seems like they are updated much better on iBooks reading the thread here 

I've just started with AoS and bought a couple of books on the app but now I'm wondering if it was a much better idea to get them on iBooks.

 

Thanks
