I must admit the e-book is really beautiful and interesting from a fluff-wise point of view. What's absurd is that you should need this book to play. There's 2 pages of rules in the whole 194 pages that makes the book, 1 of which is a list of new gear, and in the other one they just wrote that you can use a wraithknight or wraithlord as a general. Quite litterally. I find it hard to believe that they couldn't have included it in the main codex tbh. So it's just my humble opinion but if you want a lot of well written fluff about Iyanden, a lot of great artwork and some missions buy it, if you just want the rules, get the 2 pages from a friend or from the internet and copy it.Honour Guardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531232654970062350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-5756989432467365442013-06-20T12:13:32.479+01:002013-06-20T12:13:32.479+01:00In my opinion the price of rule books has become r...In my opinion the price of rule books has become ridiculous. When you need a £30 codex + either a £45 rule book or £61.50 starter set just to start playing the game how can any new players justify taking up the hobby?<br /><br />As for the one click bundles, GW has been doing that for years and from the looks of things are still getting away with it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711042723728114070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-10863533506069160562013-06-20T00:16:58.515+01:002013-06-20T00:16:58.515+01:00The Iyanden Supplement adds a new warlord trait ta...The Iyanden Supplement adds a new warlord trait table, a new primaris for spiritseers, a new list of equipment for HQs, teh ability to take 1-5 spitseers per HQ slot and the ability to nominate a wraithlord or wraithknight as your warlord(it remains a HS).<br /><br />Wraithguard can be taken as troops in the standard codex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-64307454714953337622013-06-19T21:33:28.149+01:002013-06-19T21:33:28.149+01:00To run an "Iyanden" army you need both t...To run an "Iyanden" army you need both the supplement and the codex.

In fact even with both you still can't use ALL those models in a single force org because you only get 3 heavy support slots regardless.

I can remember at least five models/kits I was told were limited or would be discontinued that never were. To be fair, there were three others that actually were limited. But falling for "Limited Time Only" on a single model isn't that bad compared to something on this scale. <br /><br />And I agree, I look at GW policies and think "that's idiotic," but they must work because they keep doing them, and keep seeing success. Not to mention, I may disapprove of their practices, but as you said, they're a business, and they sell a product I like and enjoy, even if I would love to pay less for it.FTGT Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397166544593235463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-91710862494268813342013-06-19T13:04:16.392+01:002013-06-19T13:04:16.392+01:00The 1-click bundles are a-ok.

Sure they could give us some better deal in the price, but if you really want the new shiny (or collection of stuff), it's nice and comfortable.<br />What really pisses me off lately is the new digital releases you see on Black library. They seem to be nice articles about wargear and characters. But they come with a price!<br />In the past I'd have expected these kind of things in the codex or in the White Dwarf. I guess the issue is, the codex all have to have the same amount of pages, so once it's full, there won't be any further fluff.<br />And on the White Dwarf... well, I guess we all know, what good for the White Dwarf is these days...<br /><br />Cheers,<br />HendrikHellHennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923437652472440692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-78306429954690550152013-06-19T12:57:01.480+01:002013-06-19T12:57:01.480+01:00I saw the exact same thing, it's just embarras...I saw the exact same thing, it's just embarrassing for both the company, and the suckers who fall for it.<br /><br />I really think the upper management of GW really doesn't understand its player-base. I have never seen a company approach customer service, retail and long term strategy like Games Workshop.<br /><br />It's sad, as I don't want to see it go out of business either. I do think that if the GW management were suddenly replaced by some young tech savvy management - GW would become a company that everyone loved again.<br />Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16437458409345658773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-88506072233672205872013-06-19T12:54:45.918+01:002013-06-19T12:54:45.918+01:00It's really simple, even if shockingly idiotic...It's really simple, even if shockingly idiotic: you have a limited time in which you can get all the stuff with just one click instead of spending five more minutes loading the cart. GW doesn't want their dear costumers to get tired clicking some buttons, you know, so the offer here is not an economic one, they offer you to save your time and get all the stuff you need with just one click.

The way GW keeps putting up these 'limited time' deals suggests to me not all our hobby co-hort is as switched on to pricing issues as they are obviously worth adding to the store as someone must be buying them.<br /><br />The limited time is what I dont understand. How is a bundle like this that saves no money a limited time offer - I can build that bundle in the web cart using the individual components whenever I want and still pay that price? Unless they are going to raise prices the day after the offer ends - which then makes them chumps I guess?????LWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769460904008281915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-31814928683485979322013-06-19T12:22:08.786+01:002013-06-19T12:22:08.786+01:00Word.Word.Würfelwiesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891711694560564429noreply@blogger.com
