Image is too big and the text is too small. The caption is also really long.

It hurts me, but that's indeed a case of a good example but a bad pic. Declare Exterminatus.

I know it isn't actually an example, but we could use Da Rules as a joke image with a funny quote like "and this book just covers character creation"

I think the book is big enough to suggest lots of rules even if it has nothing to do with a game system.

This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.

Clock is set.

You know...I could take a pic of my bookshelf where I have all of my old 40K rulebooks and codexes...would that work?

Will that solve the illegibility issue noted for current?

If I remember, I'll also see if I can throw together an rulebook collage.

I don't think being illegible is a dealbreaker, since the point is to show that there are a ton of rules, so it doesn't really matter what they are. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I'm actually in the same boat, though I'd like to see how Willbyr's picture turns out. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

13.2 is good. The only issue is that it is at least three different editions of the rules rather than a single one.

So not only do you have a bunch of books to keep track of everything, you need new versions of the bunch of books just to be on the same page as everyone else.

Pretty much. There are also books for 2 different games (3 if that is the Warmaster rulebook I see at the extreme left) in 13.1

EDIT: Here are mine with all the current 8th Edition 40K rulebooks (and a couple of Gaiden Game books) minus the one released today and the one on pre-order today.

All of the 8th edition Chaos books, plus the core rule book and the Hard-copy of the rules update. Only missing Daemons, which I don't own and World Eaters, which isn't out yet.

18 might work better...can you get a shot that doesn't have the glare on it?

[up]That is the less glarey of the two I took but they were only quick ones I took before going to work. I will try to take a better pic tomorrow but it will more likely be on Monday as Sunday is the busiest day for the restaurant I work in, even more so at Easter.

Not fond of the books. The spines are really hard to read and I am not sure they mean anything to someone not into Warhammer.

If we gotta go the book way, 19.3 is the only one with readable spines.

[up]I am not sure how to depict the trope otherwise. Something like this that I just quickly made maybe or is it too big with too small writing.
