Whoo! Hopefully it'll be a success and they might decide that the other books are worth a rerelease.
Yeah, they might rerelease 2nd edition or even Necromunda...
I’m sure @radulykan would welcome a re-release of Slaves to Darkness and the Lost and the Damned right about no…ooooh that reminds of another question!
Who do you think I pestered into getting me my copy from WHW? @radulykan had gone specifically to get the Slaves to Darkness and Lost and the Damned reprints.
If those go MTO I might get them.

I think it’s £40 in Warhammer World, so I can’t see it being any less. Then it depends if they make you pay postage on top of that!!
RT reprint now available to order here. £40, they pleasantly surprised me by not sticking another tenner or so on the WHW price.
I'm on the fence. It would be nice to own a piece of history like this, but I only got into 40k in 2nd edition, so don't really have any nostalgia for RT.
Me too given my recent massive displeasure with just about every decision GW makes + post RT era discovery of 40K and WFB. At the same time it’s a chance to have the well spring document for that universe. I’ve wanted the RT book + Slaves to Darkness + Lost and the Damned for a while and I’ll just have to try and savour the irony that in the first moment where I have ever wanted the chaos books more than the RT book they offer me easier access to the RT book. Damn their oily hides!
I'm not sure if they'll do STD/LATD runs online. It would be nice if they did, but for practical purposes RT is a fully inclusive game system in one book so you can actually have a go if you wanted.
STD/LATD you need the 3rd ed Fantasy Battles rules to actually play, and I doubt they'll re-release those. So it's part of a product.
Hopefully I'm wrong.

STD/LatD also have 40k lists in them. Plus, @Pagumb ,while it’s not the same as having your own copy, the PDFs are included in that mysterious side project thingy going on.
Ahhhhh more stuff that pre-dates my time in the games…time to wander the shores of a Great Lake in search of coffee before heading off to watch the younger Yakling play soccer in the rain.
Quick pre-game eBay search reveals I won’t be casually buying a 3rd edition fantasy battles rule book even if I get my hands om L&D and S2D. It’s okay. I can muddle through the modeling project better without tables of distractions. Coffee found but not good coffee.

I expected them to be the same price, would be a dick move to raise it for the online release.
Saying that, you’ve got to wait six months for it to be delivered to you (Presumably they’re adding the orders onto the next WHW reprint batch from China).
It’s so different from anything 2nd Onwards it’s practically like getting a different game. It’s way more like a role playing game that wants you to use figures than the Wargame people expect from 40k these days.
Well worth getting just for the amount of cool ideas in there even if you never play a game of it (and I imagine many people don’t really play it much, even when it was released they kept adding expansions until it was almost all modified and pretty close to 2nd in theme by the end).
Whether you think it’s worth £40 is down to you.
Not a hope that’s gonna happen. RT got done because it’s the first 40k, pretty iconic and nothing at all like the later releases, so it’s not competing with them, just complimenting. Plus you can use modern 40k models to play it.Now to do the 3rd edition Warhammer fantasy book to coincide with the release of "old world" pie in sky thinking(not because I want it for path to glory
)
Bringing back the 3rd book in a series of 8 which almost directly competes with the upcoming release of Old World and using figures they don’t sell presently is just not gonna happen.
Way more likely they redo the Warhammer Roleplay book.
Honestly it’d be like if they just reissued any of the “Specialist Games” 1st editions, it would directly complete with the current versions so they wouldn’t do it.
Imagine if they redid the Big Hazard Stripe book for Necromunda and it sold better than the latest game (as it’s an all-in-one experience and you only need that one book). It would kill the sales of the new books.
It is. But no-one values a free PDF over a physical object. As soon as you put a price on something it’s taken as having value. Sad as that is.
BTW you can find scans of Rogue Trader online too. But people still want the original physical copies or the GW reprint.
