I work at Powell's, and always watch to see if used copies of old GW books come in. I was excited to see that Waaargh! The Orks had been received at one of our other locations, so I requested them to send it over via the interstore truck route. It arrived wrapped in shrinkwrap. I opened it up and noticed to my chagrine that the cover was loose. Oh well, the pages were in excellent shape; a few minutes with the hot glue gun would fix it up. I flipped through the pages. Damn, there's a lot of Epic stuff in here. Look, there's a Gargant! I flipped to the front and noticed that it started with page 5. Looks like the first few pages are missing. I started reading about some Princeps battling with the machine spirit of his Titan. This didn't seem very Orky at all! I finally deduced that I had the better part of Codex Titanicus wrapped in the cover of Waaargh! The Orks I sure as hell wasn't going to pay US$17.50 (after my employee discount) for this. Still, I didn't want to send it back; it would almost certainly go straight into the dumpster, and I'd be left Codex Titanicus-less. After talking to two differant managers, I finally managed to get the thing for free, since we obviously couldn't sell it. Yay for me! |

Okay, the plot thickens. Now something showed up described as "Codex Titanicus." I had it sent over. Guess what it was! |

Yep! With the Codex Titanicus cover, and the first four pages of Codex Titanicus. A few minutes of effort with the ol' hot glue gun, and the universe will be back in balance! Primarch, I managed to pick up the second Realm of Chaos book off bookfinder.com for around US$8 + shipping. Just a few more books, and my Rogue Trader -era collection will be complete! (sinister laughter) |

 It seems I'll have to find those Ork books somewhere; I only have the Battle Manual and Vehicle Manual for Rogue Trader. |

Heh, I knew it! Nice work - I love those old books too - sadly, all I have are Ere' we go (sounds like a primary schoole reader! ) and Freebooterz. And the od, old Blood Bowl compendium. Ofh, and Codex Titanicus of course
