So I picked up an extra copy for myself. I just flipped through it and let me say, wow. This is an awesome book. The history, the hiarchy, the cool little stories. I absolutely LOVED this book. I just thought I'd come in here and tell folks, if you were even remotely thinking about playing a witch hunter and is the type of person who likes to approach his or her characters with certain amount of character and history. This is an amazing little book, I loved it.

You can get it off Amazon fairly quickly. At first I was a bit put off by it's size. Little did I realize the cool stuff inside the sturdy little cover.

I've ordered it, but it hasn't arrived yet. By size - do you mean thin or thick?

Yup, very cool book. And so easy to take with you to read on the train and such. Compared to the Liber Chaotica :D
And after reading it, you can finally get the Developers cake-jokes :D

It's definately a hoot.

Its definetly very enjoyable more so than the Life of Sigmar. If you've ever read the 40K book, The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer you will know what to expect, even though if you ask me the aforementioned is the better of the two.

The Witch Hunter's Handbook is an excellent little book. Mine is kept, scary as that may sound, in my jacket pocket. I have it with me most places I go, because I enjoy reading through it.
It's not heavy reading, it's light, easy to follow, and very interesting.

Defiantely worth getting.
Lots of good stuff, from background to practical tips for purging the unclean.
And great for making other passengers on the train a little bit nervous.

Ah, the Witch Hunter's Handbook.
IMHO the unique true source of canonic fluff about the Holy Order of the Templars of Sigmar...the Witch Hunters novels seems a bit too "creative" to me. Probably the author throw in some personal idea about the Order just for the sake of dramatization.

HUzzah! My copy just arrived in the mail. Slender little volume, somewhat reminiscent of the Little Red Book. Will devour it in the plane tomorrow.

I went on a buying spree and bought the Witch Hunter's Handbook and also The Life of Sigmar: The Beginnings of the Empire, Liber Necris, Liber Chaotica and Ratmen and Their Loathsome Kin.
Read the first two so far, the Witch Hunter's Handbook is a brilliant book for any Roleplayin Witch Hunter. If you're interested in the founding of the Empire and want to learn more about our Most Holy God; Sigmar it's also excellent.
I've only read the Liber Khorne of the Liber Chaotica, but so far it's an awesome book. It's informative and strangely alluring. You have to stout of heart to resist the pull of the Ruinous Powers. It also creates the link between Warhammer and Warhammer 40K, as there is a section on the authors visions of Chaos Space Marines and well-known wars in the 40K universe.

I believe the hand book is sold out at Black Library but i ordered it at Amazon and the delivery charge costs more than the actual hardback book costs so i'm happy :)

Got it through Amazon at pretty cheap too. Although I would have gladly paid more for this wonderous piece of work.

I got my copy from the Games Workshop last Saturday with a friend of mine. There were like only two copies left.
I love the hardcover and the clear readable information. It's such a nifty book to just "whip" out of your jacket's chest pocket :mrgreen:

My copy is on my person at all times, whether it be in my army case or my jacket pocket! Terribly handy little book, I took it hiking in Croatia last week, and now it looks weathered!
