Clan Raukaan Codex Supplement

More digital goodness from Games Workshop’s Digital Edition branch. Clan Raukaan – the Iron Hands Space Marines Codex Supplement – is now available for pre-order as both eBook Edition and interactive iTunes Edition. As is fast becoming a tradition with these digital Codexes, Games Workshop is treating us with a wealth of nice artwork and previews.

#3 – Thoughts?

Very nice stuff.

On the other hand, I am increasingly doubting we’ll ever see these digital Codexes as printed books. At least not all of them. I am sure, if one sells particularly well, Games Workshop may decide to print it. Given the, by now, weekly release schedule from the Digital Team, I cannot imagine that a “default” transition to printed Codex Supplements (and Codexes) is a viable option.

What do you think?

Are you a Iron Hands Player? Do you look forward to the book? Would you buy it, but only as a physical product?

        Absolutely love that artwork. So much more “realistic” than the usual drawings !!

    I’ll buy it if it comes out as a physical book- otherwise I’ll just get an illicit download or get the rules from a blog. No way I’m paying so much for a digital copy.

    Not sure I’ll buy the digital version, but I might be tempted by a physical copy… If only for the new fluff (Iron Hands are not the most thoroughly described of SM chapters) and artwork.

    TBH, I’m almost done with reading the 20th rewriting of the various organs of a Space Marine, the organisation of a Codex Chapter, that you find in ALL Space Marine Codices… That would change a bit ;)

    The FoC swap options are always a nice thing IMHO, that allow for original armies… So I’m all for it !

    don’t know if i’ll grab this one (iron hands don’t hold any interest for me) but i have been liking these digital releases,.
    But they are only 2 suppliments behind for the printed ones so there is no reason these won’t be printed

    I’m a huge Iron Hands fan, but this increasing “Let’s try this as an ebook and then see if it sells enough to print” is getting annoying, especially at the price they sell the ebooks for. There’s plenty of examples of print-on-demand gaming books out there, and given how long GW has been operating, you think that they’d be able to set up something to handle that kind of model by now.
