Also the_trooper can you maybe edit the Title of this thread? I don't think U.S. politics or racism belong in BG threads. Even in Massachusetts, statistics say about every 2 out of 5 of the people you know are conservative. I don't think its fair to label any group of people.

No. Please don't troll this thread.

EDIT:

Your own insecurities are not at issue here. What is at issue is that this book is limited in it's release scope and that it is only written in one language even though they offer the other official rules in other languages. For some reason, GW happened to be alienating many of it's fans for no rational reason I can see.

Which brings the question would the rules from this book be banned? Maybe GW thinks the Majority of English speakers want to have 40k air craft battles yet others dont?

I would just image that this would only be in play for English speaking countries. It's odd because out of the 19 countries GW does business with, more are non-English countries then English ones.

Maybe, but GW also know that in Mainland Europe there are a great deal more kids that can speak English as a second language than Brits or Americans can manage a second language, calculated risk maybe?

White Dwarf Junio 2012 (WD 206)
Las reglas actualizdas para la CaƱonera Stormtalon y la
CaƱonera Stormraven aparecen en el compendio Death From
the Skies.

Pulled that off the Spanish FAQ which tells them to refer to the Death from the Skies Compendium. I can see some anger about it. In my mind it is a compendium but including something new upsets me. It isn't 50$ its the price of the Old Codexes at 33$. I will probably get a way to look at it and I think some of the stuff may be optional rules I am just curious about the points and stats for the Space Marine Version of the Stormraven.
I ride in on my Bike with my Hat of awesome and say Nay this place should be on fire.

You really must miss the GW Facebook page LOL. From the title to the assumption that the company is "Stupid" your thread's been one big troll of GW.

Good to see you're enjoying yourself with this nonsense though ;)

Alienating coustomers is never wise.

Unless they are counter trolling, you don't release a FAQ in Spanish and then tell them to consult an English book.

Unless...

GW are brilliant master trolls.  It all makes sense!

This book seems like a pointless waste of money.

I will say that the title of thread brings politics into this in a completely unnecessary and divisive reason.  Assuming the book is going to be a marginal release, and they didn't want to spend the money to translate it, obviously it's going to be in English.

Sorry, I don't really follow politics so I didn't know it would bother you.

How do you know the book is unnecessary, do you have it already?

You said "GOP".  I would feel similar if I dunno, you had found some way to tie it to liberal politics.  Just unnecessary. 

As to why it's a waste?  Because it's merely a repackaging of old rules.

Thanks, I'll keep in mind to stay away from liberal politcal speech too. I never found it too divisive. I should pull myself out of my games more often.  :-\

It *might* be a repackage of the old rules. No one can confirm or deny it.

In the preview, it states:

Quote
including new bestiary and army list entries for the following codexes: Black Templars, Blood Angels, Dark Eldar, Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, Necrons, Orks and Space Marines.

Also, since you don't play vanilla marines with a storm raven, it's unnecessary but at the very least, BT, SM and Orks require it (if they want to use fliers). The other ones listed in the quote might too. I'm sure Grand Master Steve will give us the load out when he gets his book.
