To say I've seen a few codex's and source books in my time is an understatement, but most of them pale in the glory that Privateer Press has managed to cram into this book.
FULL COLOUR. Just soak that in for a second so you understand.. not 'colour sections' not 'random colour inserts' no. Every page, every single one is in full colour. The fact it cost me just around $30 staggers me. How they pulled it off for the cost is amazing.
Next is content. It's Full of stories and unit descriptions, and data on all the modles in the Khadorian force. With full colour pictures of all of them. And there is painting guides and other really usefull tips in the back.
The one thing I would have liked to see would have been possibly a couple of pages worth of the unit cards people could photocopy and use ead of the cards that you get with the mini's. (Though you can laminate those cards so I guess the point is moot)
Also a small glossary at the back or front would have helped for a quick reference for the units so you don't have to flick back and forth through the books to find information. Again a small and not nescissarily needed thing, just a personal preference that really isn't needed or detracts from the well laid out and designed book.
This is the best resource book I've bought in years. And is a great pre-cursor to how I am going to feel about Warmachines as a whole. The more imagination a game can draw out of me, the greater I am going to enjoy painting and playing it.. and this one hit the motherload.
