Inquisitor Eisenhorn Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I wish they would give DC cheaper jump packs and cheaper like 10P power weapons... I can live with 15p power weapon but 15p jump pack? Either way we won't be getting them for at least a year.

SamaNagol Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 They could quite easily make significant balance changes to the codex digitally and include all the changes in the FAQ & Errata article online, and include a sticker on the back or a flyer inserted into the print copies on sale in store telling people they need to make sure they check Games-Workshop.com/FAQ for the latest updates to the Blood Angels army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280881-ba-digital-codex/page/3/#findComment-3478908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see GW giving rules with that many changes away for free. Not when they can charge you $20+ for a digital copy of a said updates.

TheHarrower Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 This was posted by Natfka today. "The Blood Angels book will only include Errata changes and things like hull points and unit types from the new edition. It won't have any new items, as that would make the print book out-of-date before its time. Sisters of battle don't have book at all the the moment, so we have a good deal more freedom to put cool new stuff in the codex."

Sanguine Eternal Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I saw that this morning as well, and expected just as much. It's a valid point, if they update points, warlord traits etc, it makes the current copy redundant, and everyone would need to buy the digital codex. We will have to wait a while for our hardcover copy Brother.

knife&fork Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 On the other hand, how motivated am I to buy this digital re-print when there's nothing new to it? Not all all, not the least bit of interest.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280881-ba-digital-codex/page/3/#findComment-3497665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I can sincerely say I would have preferred a Digital Update like the Sisters or you guys over being rolled :P. Things could be worse, that's all I'm saying ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280881-ba-digital-codex/page/3/#findComment-3497673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The Templars didn't really come out anywhere near as bad as implied Firepower. And you'll find quite a good number of BA players that would have been just as happy to become a sub army of Marines again with a possible supplement to get other cool stuff later on as well. So I guess what I'm saying is... it's down to perspective! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280881-ba-digital-codex/page/3/#findComment-3497679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanis Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I saw that on FB this morning and was ecstatic for a moment, then realized no way was an update for us coming that soon and sudden, but that's alright! We've suffered worse and come out alive, if Signus and WD-codex didn't kill us, a little disappointment won't either! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280881-ba-digital-codex/page/3/#findComment-3497767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmercx Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 When I first saw that we were going to get a digital dex I was a bit interested. Then I asked about the army builder function (like what the space marine dex has). Not included in the BA (or the SoB for that matter). The reason this is getting pushed live is to over a "complete" library of codex's. Zero reason to buy this if you already own the paper dex.

Sanguine Eternal Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The only digital codex I'll be seeing is me printing off the FAQ's and errata, and tucking them in the back of my codex. Free.

SnorriSnorrison Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 And remember you can't take a sharpie and black out the silly paragraphs of fluff in the unit entries...

Chaplain Admetus Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 That's as may be, but I think it needs mentioning that this isn't necessarily a codex for us. I think it's good that they're digitising the current one, as there will be new players coming into the fold, and they might find a digital copy easier/more convenient. It's nice to have options, after all. Yeah, it's not particularly helpful to those of us that already own the codex, but I highly doubt we're GW's target market for this specific product!

anto Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Few hope :( They try to sell the last hardcopy of the old book before... Why not an Tau enclave pdf (and after the hardcopy). If it works....maybe....... They will do same for us Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280881-ba-digital-codex/page/3/#findComment-3504414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
