So .... was the recent half price WHAB book sale a clearance sale after all, or a cunning piece of marketing? By taking a hit for a few months they've injected a lot of interest in WHAB, which was starting to wither and die in the face of so many good competitors and negative press.

Hmmm not sure I'll bother with this one. Not much point buying a £28 book for the handful of armies I have that are covered in there. Add in that all of them have their own supplement already and it makes it a bit of a waste. If the lists are an improvement on the ones in Shieldwall, Age of Arthur and Art of War then I might take a pop but I doubt it.

Bloomin eck MIke your getting cryptic all of a sudden.
As regards the book itself it does claim that all the lists are new or revised. I wonder if that means all the army listings in the supplemenst are now obsolete. I won't know until mine gets delivered and Mrs please note this ISN'T a Christmas present!
At end of the day it doesn't really matter if your opponent agrees as to what list is used. I just hope some of the characters are gone!
Well I suppose its a kind of present from Me to Me

From what I can gather on the WAB forum the average points value has been upped from 7 to 10 pts so not sure how the new supplement will work with existing ones. Be interesting to see how tourney interpret that one. Our club is only just branching out into WAB so I'm in the same boat on the HC rules and supplement, trying to find opponents to play it is nigh on impossible (see my previous post about HC players in West Yorks).
My vain hope is that GW are just ignoring it in favour of their "profit" games and Martin can keep finding friendly faces in Forge World to keep helping out. It is strange that there was no marketing effort what so ever.
