Codex poll

[Deleted]

I posted a poll on dakka for those of you who dont visit dakka mucb and would love to have as many people toss in their opinion!

I am just going to answer the question here because I deleted my dakka dakka account after an attack I got from a large number of the members for not agreeing with "tyranid warrior with wings = harpy because there is no model"

That said, while it might be interesting, if I had a choice and games workshop put up a poll, I wouldn't vote for it. do you see how much our rulebook is? Codecies are $33 as it is. Give them the idea to make hardback codecies with more fluff, those will likely be $60 each minimum. And if people buy those? They have a good chance of just discontinuing paper back codecies altogether in favor of the rules and requirement to pay for the extra fluff and hardback-ness.

I can barely get by with 33 for a codex as is. I wouldn't want any chance of that being screwed up,Not fora few more pages of fluff... especially when Matt ward writes half of it.

Yeah, I don't think paying half again for a less convenient book to lug around is a good idea.

They cant produce enough material that fits the fluff of the army they are creating currently. More would just bring more ward (please do not swear) into the universe, and we dont need that. If kelly was writing it i would say yes, but the other writers have not proved they can write competent fluff.

[N.I.B.]

Won't all coming codices be premium hard cover products, just like in WFB?

[kippawah]

Haven't paid $33 for a real codex. Wouldn't pay more for a hardcover with more fluff that doesn't makes sense.

Why would they burden themselves with printing more fluff if they haven't been able to get it right in the first place?

GW needs to figure out a way to do things that get more people to play, not get people to stop playing.

Well this idea is assuming it was filled with good fluff and stuff. Also, I didn't notice that newer WFB are hardcover and full color. Woot! I'm looking forward to the next Tyranid codex even more if it follows suit. I wouldn't be surprised seeing how much WFB is leaking into 40k.

I think they should do a Players codex: A5 spiral bound(like the new painting manual), and just the rules&army list. I'd probably buy the proper codex aswell for my own armies, but pickup the cheaper Players versions for all other armies. Cheaper to produce updated versions after FAQ releases too.

Heck, if they did them holepunched, we could even add our own army lists, Tourney rule packs etc.

Ah, forget it, just PDF the lot!

(Of course I am the most financially un-astute person on the planet, so I doubt the above are good business..!)
