Put your hands up if you have read the following in the November 2010 White Dwarf and think it's a pretentious 'you must buy this book or you will never know how to play a fantasy game' pile of advertising crap?

"The Warhammer rulebook contains 528 full-colour pages packed full of rules, background and gaming ideas. There can be no finer resource to guide your fantasy battles. It's got everything a book needs to keep even the most voracious Warhammer fan busy reading, daydreaming and especially fighting out amazing battles for many a happy hour"

I mean, come on. This makes it sound as if it's the ONLY book out there for gamers and without it you won't even be able to breathe, let alone play any games. And to top it off - there ARE other fantasy battle games. For example Kings of War (Mantic), Hordes of the Things, Dwarf Wars and the Reaper's Warlord, to name a few.
