It seems Amazon lost my 2 player starter set, so I must order again to acquire a rule book. My projects are on hold, and it is frustrating. I Have Ogres and want to start a Nightstalker army, but I don’t know much about them just yet. This is an opportunity to assess which book I want to shell out for. Questions:
Do you find the Hardcover Rule Book is worth the additional pictures of painted units? Is it helpful it identifying them and inspiring for color schemes?
Are there any other differences – aside from the inclusion of story line of course.
I have both, and they are both great IMO. If I had to choose, I would probably go for the softback from the starterset, because I wouldnt want to take the other one out when I go play somewhere… but I must admit I am not so much of a fluff interested person…
If I had been given a choice, I would have bought the softcover in a heartbeat and then had it sliced and spiral bound, like all my 2E books. Unfortunately I was not given a choice, so hardback it was. Uncharted I’ll likely go digital - the book looks really nice, but given the nature of the army lists in there, especially the theme lists, I’m fine with a PDF.
thanks for the feedback everyone. I ended up with both, due to an amazon glitch! So one to go and one for home it is. This is helpful when showing new players a demo game.
