Games Workshop has released a smaller, more affordable* version of their rules. 

I say affordable* because it’s still $50.00, I mean when you think about it. That is $50 just so you can learn to play a board game. Oh well. Still kind of cool though. 

GW: The contents of this book are also available digitally for your Apple iPad. Download your copy of Warhammer 40,000: The Rules from the iBookstore today.

The Warhammer 40,000: The Rules has been specifically designed to be the gamers ideal companion. Don’t let its size fool you – measuring a convenient 205mm x 150mm, this handy book contains the complete rules for Warhammer 40,000.

Created with gamers in mind, the three ribbon bookmarks – in silver, black and grey – are perfect for those rules you always refer to.

This premium full colour volume with its tactile, soft-touch hard cover and black page edges, is not only useful, but looks great too.

– Sections on choosing your army and fighting battles.
– 6 Eternal War missions.
– A reference section that includes profiles for all army units, weapons and psychic disciplines.
