Any info about what goes into the gamers edition mini rulebook?   Sounds like it could either be pretty sexy or a complete joke.   I guess I'll just wait until it's out to see if I want it, as GW seems to prefer.

I hope the mini rulebook is just the Dark Vengeance rule book repackaged.

I don't know why anyone would buy this for $50 bucks, just buy Dark Vengeance instead. A ton of figures, templates AND the mini rulebook, available now at your local Battlegrounds location  ;D

A stegosaurus with a castle tower on it maybe? That or some sort of flying thing. Possibly with a castle tower on it.

Dakkadakka has the pics already if you are interested.  Bastidon is an ankylosaurus type Dino, they are the heavily armored "turtle" type.  But one of the builds has a snake generator, which is weird...  The plastic carnosaur is cool and has an alternate build called a troglodon, too.

$50 would be a bit much for that, yes?  I hope it is like that, but nicer.

Im pretty sure he meant to say isn't. Dark Vengeance is fine if you want to play chaos or Dark Angels (even though the Dark Angels army that's included isn't a legal list) . For everyone else your stuck buying the giant hard cover book. That being said 50 bucks for just the mini rule book is still way over priced. If it came with some extra content and or templates it might not  be a bad deal.

I'm liking the old carnosaur model better, it had a bigger head and looked more t-rex like, also I don't care for the new stegadon or terradon models. The one model I thought that should have got replaced is the chameleon skinks, but it remains, and in finecast for some strange reason.

But enough about fantasy, anyone see the mini rulebook yet to confirm if its just the dark vengeance book repackaged making it the worst deal in GW history. And this is a company that sells battalions at the exact same price as each individual component put together, making it not a deal at all.
