Black Industry Version of Inquisitor Handbook

By velozity2, in Dark Heresy

Is there much difference between the Black Industry and the FFG one?

I have the BI version and want to know if I need to get the FFG one instead.

Thanks.

Yes. They're very different indeed.

The BI version is essentially a roundup of various things from the Eisenhorn and Ravenor novels, whilst the FFG version is a players manual focussing on the Calixs sector, the worlds and armaments commonly found within it.

MDMann,

I think the question was meant to be interpreted as "is the BI version of the IHB for DH much different from the FFG version."

The short answer is sort of. The FFG has the Errata 2.0 already implemented, if I recall correctly. And color pictures. happy.gif Ooh, yay! Color artwork for the win.

Velozity,

As someone who owns both the BI and FFG prints, I do recommend the FFG for a couple of reasons.

  1. Implemented most of the Errata.
  2. Hardcover for added durability.
  3. The Emperor says so.
  4. Yay! Colored Artwork

Uhhhm WHAT? They are the same book, just FFG has the errata in it and a hard cover and color pics.

Thanks for the answers. I figured as much. I wondered why it was less expensive! lol

Guess he just got Black Library's "The Inqusition" mixed up with Black Industries' "Inquisitor's Handbook"

Hmmm yes, I was thinking of the BL's Inquisition.

Which is still one mighty fine book, in my opinion; especially when you're trying to keep track of all the npcs, items and events in those two series'.
