Wouldn't that apply to pretty much any model used for 40k gaming ?You telling me I can buy this cool flier but can't use it in the game without buying this new book?

Not really...They don't make you buy another Grey knights supplement just to use your land raider do they? It's a bit different than buying a new codex when it comes out.Wouldn't that apply to pretty much any model used for 40k gaming ?
Exactly how I feel really. I'm sure there is a point if it's a decent and official looking book with your unit stats in it which seems like a great concept to me. PDF's would make more sense...PP seems to be doing okay and they actually pack stats in the model's box.If there are no points changes and such then what's the point?
Well normally you buy a Codex with rules for everything in that army. In this case you get stats for a single model? If I play Space Marines I certainly don't need stats for a flying robotic french pastry for an army I don't play. Sure it's nice gee-wiz information but requiring me to buy an entire book just for the one thing I want and telling me I want everything else?Wouldn't that apply to pretty much any model used for 40k gaming ?
Maybe but you do get all of the data for all other armies, not just your own. If you want to know about enemy land raiders then you have to buy a heap of other books.Not really...They don't make you buy another Grey knights supplement just to use your land raider do they?

...or they could have just put up the rules for pdf download on their webpage and all problems would have been solved...People seem to forget this is how 40k and fantasy for that matter used to work, they would put out interesting stuff and new rules for new units etc in WD for people to use in games and then when they had enough material they would do a compendium with the rules all in one place, granted this was 20 years ago and we didnt have the advantage of the internet to moan about it, but if like me you didnt pick up the WD with the rules in, or missed an issue or dont want to keep referring to a WD page, this book is a god send.
People criticise GW for not putting things in WD, then they criticise GW for putting things in WD, people criticise GW because the WD with new rules sell out,people criticise GW for producing a book with the sold out rules in.People Criticise GW for not communicating with fans, GW communicate with fans about there trade mark stance,GW get a shit load of abuse about it, GW are criticised because stores are full of kids using the boards and hogging painting tables,GW are criticised when they reverse that and become shops, People bitch about GW metal models being hard to build/paint/convert, they switch to resin and have a few teething issues and its like GW have started eating babies while doing Jimmy Saville impressions.
i seriously doubt people would be willing to pay £20 for a bunch of pdfs....or they could have just put up the rules for pdf download on their webpage and all problems would have been solved...
FREE?? I think someone unfamiliar with GW has hacked your account MCCI meant for free....
And this right here is the problem with GW atm, feels like they go out of their way to leech as much money as they can out of their customers. They have several armies done and completed, have had for years apparently but instead of releasing an army a month they release things that should have been free or at the most a WD release just to fill out the release schedule with something each month.FREE??

are we certain that FW is related to GW...besides the game system? :gimmefive:With Death from the Skies now on sale, and with thanks to numerous posts on our wall, consider this an official FAQ:
The rules don't overlap onto Imperial Armour Aeronautica. Any of our flyers that list Deep Strike among their special rules can still Deep Strike.
Stormravens cannot carry Contemptors.
Storm Eagles aren't available to Blood Angels. There's a price for refusing to reveal STC data.
Meanwhile, here's some nicely painted flyers...
Oh look, the Death From the Skies FAQ is out, before anyone has even received the book...
New record?

Fantasy Flight games does this.i seriously doubt people would be willing to pay £20 for a bunch of pdfs.
FAQ confirms that the regular version of the Storm Raven comes with "stormstrike missiles". As it's the only flier (from what I've read) that will be a new choice for other armies it's pretty much a mandatory addition as the Bloodstrike and Mindstrike are army specific wargear. Then again the Storm Raven was army specific as well until now, guess it didn't sell enough kits.I know that this is only making a specific missile choice mandatory for Grey Knights, but I'm now curious to see if there are more options in the missile selection for fliers in general.
Or this is a cheaper way to add flyers to two armies without spending time, resources and mold budget money on new models.FAQ confirms that the regular version of the Storm Raven comes with "stormstrike missiles".
