Some more pictures of the printed book
What’s in the book?
- all seven legacy army PDFs, edited for two-sided printing (i.e. every other page was carefully flipped to have a full double page spread)
- page numbers were modified to be continuous throughout the book
- typos and mistakes in the PDFs were fixed (a list of all changes can be found on the last page)
- the FAQ which was released at launch
- full page artwork was added to the first page and in front of every faction army list

Issues with the first printrun
As you can see from the pictures, the cover unfortunately is shifted. Or not printed large enough. The books themselves look very nice, though.
We used the German version of doxdirect, which was not a flawless experience. At first, nothing happened for many days. Only after repeated emails and phonecall attempts did they tell me they had issues with their printer. In the end, they printed the books in the UK and shipped them to me.
We are currently in contact with them to try and remedy this unfortunate result. They claim they printed exactly as I uploaded the file, I think it’s an issue with the printing software, since you can see that the cover should be perfectly aligned on the spine but it is not.
It is noteworthy that official GW books are also not perfectly aligned, as you can see in these measurements of the official Rulebook
I don’t know what will come out of this in the end, hopefully some financial compensation, but I just don’t know right now.
For anyone who is thinking about printing the book for themselves, double-check everything you do and take copious screenshots!
Regardless, it’s a very beautiful book and you’ll be the envy of everyone at any event you’ll show up with it. Even with the misaligned cover.
