Games Workshop released the Grey Knight Codex this week, only a month after the Space Wolf Codex and a Space Wolf supplement. They are also pumping out the Sanctus Reach Campaign volumes.
These are all color hardback volumes, of a more or less standard size.
Overall, Games Workshop has been releasing books at an amazing rate for over a year now. I'm assuming it is made possible by new digital publishing technologies.
As readers will know, I think game companies should move to online rule and army books, but GW seems to be pursuing a vigorous strategy of many books, released frequently. They are pretty expensive too, at 50$ each.
What does it mean for a game when even seriously devoted players cannot afford all the supplements, and thus cannot view the entire game environment?
