Are we now allowed to put scanned pages of rules books on this forum??
If so hooray !!!

Ummm its not a rulebook ... its a guide written by the moderators at the Bolter & Chainsword.

I am pleased you thought the layout look good enough to be professional though :)

Sniff - I'm very proud of my brethren at the B&C, so much that it brings tears to my eyes - well done to the Mods, might pop by and say hello more often

Sorry, I just thought that they were scanned copies of the rule book!
In that case well done to them, it looks pretty amazing!

Wow, great, this kind of dedication may take ==My== attention away from the Orks :dance:

Well done B&C, you're still the best!

Very nicely done, might have to have a read.

Extremely well done. Great illustration, content and comment. Although they did occasionally offer advice that was quite likely wrong(the genestelers vs. marines thing on page 5 stand out to me) But overall a fantastic work.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, I am pleased to see people giving the other articles a chance. We have taken on-board everyones comments and the new version (online already) has the following amendments.

1. Corrections where appropriate.

2. Additions to articles to aid clarity.

3. "Why 5th Edition" moved to the end of the document and defined as Editorial

4. Two versions are now being produced, the first one is now for Screen viewing and as such is much smaller at around 9mb (40% of the original). The second version will be for printing and remains at 300dpi and a link will be added for it when we get that process underway. We will continue to look at ways to make the guide more convenient to use.

So for your enjoyment, the first revision of a living document: -

In response for people asking for a smaller version ...

Next Version is released, Version 1.13

Its down to 3.5mb on server (IE7 may make that load twice) with new intro piece and more additions and corrections.
