Have you not realized that this is the winter of our discontent and we don't get anything, let alone nice things? City of Sigmar Warbands would be really awesome though... We get plenty of nice things, we are getting Space Lumineth and Chaos Bitz attached to Space Marines. 😢 Heck if we are really good we might even get a single hero release for an army desperately in need of more models. 😭 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollowHills Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I just want to know when my ****** book is coming out. Girl has to buy a collector's Idoneth book, cards and dice. I need to know if that's Feb budget or if I can buy lingerie and naughty toys. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maogrim Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I always liked the look of the Collector's Editons but I just could not bring myself to buy one... Paying that much extra for borderless front cover and a little gold trim just doesn't seem worth it. Now, if that hardback battletome came in a steelbook case like a proper Collector's Edition... Then we'd be talking. 😎 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we'd be talking. 😎 They should have different tiers of battletomes: Hardcover collectors editions, softcover editions, pdf editions, b/w ringbound digest sized editions for reference, and finally some random and hastily photocopied pages with a paper clip for those of who play multiple armies on a budget. 😏 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccentricCircle Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I enjoy collecting gaming books, but special edition battletomes are one I just won't touch with a barge pole. The very limited added "niceness" relative to the huge additional cost just makes them a joke. If they had a shiny varient cover like the spellbook styled editions of the D&D manuals that would be one thing( though still too pricey). But its not as though the title really gets in the way on the regular edition books, so the limited editions just seem a complete cop out. I'm happy for those who like them for sure. But to me it just seems you are paying a huge price just tp be able to show off that you splashed out, not for a significantly better or even different product. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBrodd Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The price of the LE Tomes was never worth it to me. Maybe if it had a unique, as in totally different, cover to the standard and came with extra art pages or something. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy every LE cover D&D book because they have a really nice alternate art cover AND they're the same price as the regular ones, so I don't even want to try to justify GW's LE tomes, but I couldn't if I did. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are indeed, with the caveat that they are limited to brick and mortar gaming stores, so you tend to buy them at close to RRP. The non limited books tend to end up on amazon a fair bit cheaper than RRP, so while there technically isn't a markup, in practice you end up paying slightly more (though no where near the markup on GW's supposedly "premium" books). That said I tend to think that supporting my local gaming store makes it more than worth it, and they don't come out so regularly that it becomes too much of an issue. So far I've bought every single 5e book from the same local store, and I don't plan on changing that any time soon. It used to be the case that you could also get the limited edition cover a week early in your local game shop, while online retailers had to wait. That hasn't survived pandemic logistics unfortunately, and these days you're lucky to get any of them on the release date. Games workshop could definitely learn a thing or two from that business model though. If you want us to pay for a product, you have to make it one worth paying for. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) They actually made the Limited Edition covers worse in 3.0. Originally it was just the full piece of art without any headers or letters, because it wasn't going to be sat on a store shelf having to tell people what it was. Now they slap the AGE OF SIGMAR title on there in big letters and you're paying £20 more (even more if you buy normal Battletomes at a discount) just to make the cover a bit shiny but otherwise identical. At least the 8th edition 40k ones had alternate cover art. Still not worth the price but the novelty was there.
