The preview looks great.

I am in the US, so to minimize shipping, I am leaning towards the PDF option.  Question, I always print my PDF for use during the game.  The  sample PDF will kill my rpinter with all of the graphics.  Will there be a "printer friendly" PDF available?

Tomsche - Check out this page. The first dropdown option on the rule book is to collect at Salute.

Alex - many thanks! Apologies at 184 pages it is an ink monster. We don't have a plain word or print friendly version at the moment, but we'll look into it. It will basically be a big cut and job. But Nurgle's idea is an option too.

Thanks for looking.

Here's a quick shot of the tokens in action at Overlord last week, just to give an idea of scale:

Thanks for the update...

My printer is an HP laser.  Yes, the option exists to print in B&W but toner is toner.  By "printer friendly" I was talking about a version without the watermarks and the margin graphics.

I may just have to bite the bullet and get the hard copy.

With a HP Laser it is simple. There is an option to print in textmode and you can print it lighter. Than the printer uses less toner . But you will always use some toner. Also you can print only selected pages, i do so for my gaming-maps...(No cover, no markers)

That's fairly straight-forward and I can output to B&W too if that helps. I can drop the colour images and silhouettes too? Give me a few days and I'll look into it.

Cheers ShadowKing - that was very much the inspiration.

We're just talking about the next releases, but expect something very much along those lines :)

Ordered the book to avoid the print headaches/cost. I'm really enjoying reading through the pdf rules and am eager to try out some of the mechanics, especially events and gadgets. This is the ruleset that will motivate me to paint my kiss kiss bang bang figures.

Got my pre-order PDF and the hardback on collection at Salute.

Only thing I'll say is more pics of models and scenery, lovely layout, artwork etc.. just like a little showcase section too?
