I'll try to get some more info on what the Munitorum Edition is all about. It will be limited.
-
I have store credit, so I definitely want the rulebook.
-
Holy crap.... $340... new record for rules right?
-
Well that is the Munitorum Edition. The Warhammer 40,000 book which looks to be most likely just the standard rule book is 85$ which is still quite expensive.
-
It's about the same cost as 3 Red Sox tickets.
-
I wonder if it'll hit 1000 on eBay a few months after release.
-
What's visions of the Dark Milennium?
-
I'm like Jon Snow, I know nothing.
I will know more when I talk to the rep again tomorrow.
-
i want a rule book and cards
-
I want a rule book
-
I asked Nick for a rule book on Friday, but I'll want to add cards to that also.
Cheers,
Alan

I gotta think the 340 version is the "collectors" edition like they did for Apocaplyse - Snazzy box, hardcover books, all the objective cards, all the new psychic cards etc.

W40k Rules come in a hard cardboard box and includes 3 separate books.
The first is called Galaxy War and is a starter guide with 114pages with lots of photos of painted miniatures. The second is called Dark Millennium and is 128 pages with extensive background section and new portraits and illustrations. The third is the rules, and is 208 pages including among it the new psychic powers. - translated from Spanish
So looks like Visions of Dark Millennium is the fluff book. Hilariously, the psychic phase expansion and rules from 2nd edition were called Dark Millennium.
This release is seriously bringing back everything about 2nd Edition that got me into the hobby and I am like a fat diabetic in a candy store.
Wait. I AM A FAT DIABETIC. THIS IS AWESOME.

That's the collector's box I'm assuming?

Chase, I know I PM'd you, but I thought I'd post here too. I'll take a rulebook. I'll be in on the 24th. I just needed the 85 dollar one.
-
Can I get the tactical objectives and the Psychic Cards? I'd like to pick them up in Plainville most likely on the 25th.

What Jared said is accurate.
The Munitorum Edition is a swanky, limited edition "Collector's Edition meets Gamer's Edition" product that comes in a "War Chest" and includes fancy version of 3 books. One of the three is a rule book, one is a fluff book, and the other the rep didn't know about. It also comes with "Visions of the Dark Millennium" which is basically a super sweet picture book (and is normally sold separately), it has the Objective Cards, Psychic Power Cards, metal objective marker "coins", a "giant" map, a nice reference sheet, and a hard backed limited edition version of the rules (in addition to the main rulebook).
The regular, 85 dollar rule book, will also contain 3 books in a sleeve. One has the rules, one has the fluff, and the other she didn't know about.
Some other tidbits:
Tyranids can ally with people - just don't get too close, otherwise you might get eaten.
You can ally with yourself still.
Other things we already knew, like unbound armies can do basically whatever they want. Apparently she's excited that she'll be able to field a list that has one of every flyer.

Sounds cool. Put me down for a rule book then. I'll pick it up in Plainville.
