lorenzo_ishivar_kain Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi there fellow brothers, a quick question fot you, how much the new Horus Heresy books will cost? I don't need to know the exact price, obviously.. More or less like a normal imperial armour? Or like Thamurkhan ( The first book of warhammer forge ) Thanks..

Lord_Caerolion Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 We don't really have any idea whatsoever as of yet. Wait until the UK Games Day, and we'll probably find out exactly.

DarkMark Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I'd say £50 easily, if its any less I'd be very surprised considering the demand, fancy cover etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260683-new-hh-books-by-fw/#findComment-3176639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well, considering IA books are usually 40 or 50 quid normally, I'd reckon something like this (leather cover and all) I would wager perhaps the 60 quid mark, as a guess.

Rider-75 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yeah - they are either going to surprise us and do a real crowd pleaser with a nice price - or it'll be £50+ Being GW I know which one I'll expect - especially as theyre doing it with a leather cover.

caprera Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Just consider the cover and you'll have a good idea of the price compared to the other books: they won't be economic :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260683-new-hh-books-by-fw/#findComment-3177094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider-75 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm hoping these leather bound ones prove to be a special edition or something and they do a normal hardback run afterwards. Otherwise I may new to go torrent hunting - and that's not like me at all. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260683-new-hh-books-by-fw/#findComment-3178225 Share on other sites More sharing options...

malika666 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Most of you must have already seen some of this, but the shoulderpads and close ups on the jetbikes are nice! http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events/UK_Games_Day_2012.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260683-new-hh-books-by-fw/#findComment-3178854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 There is already a thread here (and in the news section) so I've merged them. Please don't keep making more. ;) Might explain the high prices... Lavishly decorated, this book is leather-bound with inlaid metal detailing and foil-blocked page edging, and also features metal cleats to the corners of the book’s casing impressed with the Imperial Aquila. This 290-page tome delves into the fratricidal conflict on Isstvan III that saw Warmaster Horus’s traitor Legions purge their own ranks of those legionaries that would remain loyal to Terra. It is a stand-alone supplement for Warhammer 40,000 and contains a vast array of colour profiles, maps and artwork. Also included is a full Space Marine Legion army list and background, histories, character profiles and special rules for the Death Guard, Sons of Horus, World Eaters and Emperor’s Children Legions. Squadrons of ‘Sky Hunters’ are fielded by almost all of the Legiones Astartes. These feared strike units are heavily armed and mounted upon sophisticated and powerful craft more akin to small flyers than ground bikes. There are several patterns of jetbike produced by the Mechanicum, all of which are modified from designs that pre-date the Imperium, and all of which are in considerable demand by the Space Marine Legions. The Scimitar Pattern Space Marine Legion Jetbike, designed by Daren Parrwood, is a single multi-part resin model which features four weapons options: a Heavy Bolter, Plasma Cannon, Multi-melta or Volkite Culverin. This detailed resin kit will be available to buy at Games Day, in limited numbers. Alongside this is the Scimitar Pattern Legion Jetbike Squadron – this kit contains three Jetbikes and will also be available to purchase in limited numbers at Games Day. Simon Egan and Edgar Skomorowski have designed sets of MkII and MkIV shoulder pads for the Sons of Horus, Death Guard, Emperor’s Children and World Eaters Legions. Each set contains 10 resin shoulder pads bearing Legion insignia, and each set will be on sale in limited numbers at Games Day. We’ll also have limited numbers of Sons of Horus and Death Guard Etched Brass and World Eaters, Sons of Horus and Death Guard Decal Sheets, each designed by Paul Rudge and each packed with Legion-specific heraldry, blazons and squad insignia.

Kol Saresk Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I hope and pray that they come out with a cheaper version of the book. That much metal is almost a waste. And it better not be aluminum for a US$32.50 increase in price. Still, I can't justify a little over US$100 for a book. A series of books, maybe. But one? Nope.

Circus Nurgling Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Man, I'm doomed. I'm such a book whore, too. Leather and metal detailing! :[ My poor, poor bank account... edit: I hope and pray that they come out with a cheaper version of the book. That much metal is almost a waste. And it better not be aluminum for a US$32.50 increase in price. Still, I can't justify a little over US$100 for a book. A series of books, maybe. But one? Nope. Yeah, that's a good point. If it's aluminum, I think I'll have to pass. Nothing worse than buyer's remorse every time I look at something like that. On the other hand, if it's nice, I really enjoy looking at things like that. The complete set will probably be close to a grand! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260683-new-hh-books-by-fw/#findComment-3178943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus Nurgling Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sons of Horus would be the obvious choice, to me, given that they haven't been available before, really.

hobointherain Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm sorry but 70 nicker for a book is like stealing sweets from a child, then punching the child in the face, then punching its mother in the face, then running away before the dad reallises whats going on fair play its all nicely bound in faux leather and with fancy metal bits, if they knock out a cheaper softback edition, which im fairly sure they won't, I might be tempted to fork out and buy it Come on Forge World, theres a recession on and my pockets are getting tighter Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260683-new-hh-books-by-fw/#findComment-3179162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I really, honestly do think that the RRP is par for the course, considering the price of large hardbacks, especially the price of FW's hardbacks, and the fact this one has certain embellishments. Granted, it would be nice for a cheaper 'regular version' for those of us with money restrictions but complaining that the price is too high, for a luxury product, is pointless.

Seahawk Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Compare it to a college textbook, which is generally a quarter as interesting but twice the price. Multiply that by 8 (if you do well) and suddenly this HH book is rather nicely priced, for what it is.

It would make good business sense for forgeworld to print some cheaper copies, I'm more than sure they'd sell shed loads, even at £40 or 50 quid which I'd probably fork out tbh Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260683-new-hh-books-by-fw/#findComment-3179890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
