So I will likely just buy the Xenos: 1 codex.
I still wonder if the matched play points cost will be in the 5 books or in the big one.
If matched play points are in the 5 books, I probably won't need to buy the 280 page one, as it contains mostly fluff and scenarios.
Sure fluff can be nice, especially with the time moving forward, but I won't need it on the release date.
As for the primarines and the nurgleguard I couldn't care less. GW is boring never giving the xenos a starter box. I mean they could pair up all armies in boxes if they wanted to.
Or even allow you to pick 2 armies with your starter box.
As for scenarios, in my meta no-one has played any of the scenarios as they are in the big book for the latest 3 edition anyway, especially not at tournaments.
Anyhow I will likely just grab the free 4 pages and printout points costs added onto the datasheets, when in for a game, then I'll use a pencil to keep track of things on the 1 use datasheet copies.
If codex or index books will restart the creep, I'll just ask people to play basic 8th ed, as I hope that will have a nice balance between armies.
