Deekthegreat Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So im making that dive into the 30k world. I have a word bearers rhino door set on its way. And after having a friend grab it for me realized i dont really want to play wprd bearers id much prefer a different scheme like iron warriors or imperial fists. So my purchase oprions are books only atm so i dont dive to hard into it and soend far to much money. What books shoukd i pick up? Book 3 or book 5? And the crusade army list book bundle as well. Im assuming any of the black books have rules for the age of darkness expansion right? Or do you need a specific book I apologize for the random spelling errors my phone thinks i want to spell horribly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315369-30k-purchase-just-need-to-make-sure-im-getting-what-i-need/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
caladancid Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If you are looking to get books, and don't mind missing the story for now, pick up the Horus Heresy Legion Astartes Gamers Collection (aka the red books). Those two have all the general rules and legion specific rules from the first three books. If you do want story, then both IF and IW are in book 3.

marine7312000 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 You honestly only need the black book if you're looking for specific units\ models that aren't from the first three books. And if you're not running one of the legions from those same three books, you really only need the Crusade army list book. The legions in the first three books are Emperor's Children, Death Guard, Sons of Horus, World Eaters, Word Bearers, Night Lords, Iron Hands, Salamanders, Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion, Imperial Fists and Raven Guard.

caladancid Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 That's a good call, but eventually you should definitely get the "story" books, some of the best fluff written and really interesting details.

Deekthegreat Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Yea i will check out the black books at a later date having just lost my job i couldn't afford that book anyways and not sure if anyone saw or noticed but forgeworld raised their prices on stuff. Just subtle enough that you might not notice but i noticed these things because well i have scoured their site every day for the last 3 months so Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315369-30k-purchase-just-need-to-make-sure-im-getting-what-i-need/#findComment-4209020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
