So let's say I play Necrons ( Xenos book 1) and Orks (Xenia book 2)
I would need to order both Xenos books and the larger rule book to have everything I need? Are there digital books coming out that I should just wait for, or does just pre ordering those 3 make the most sense?

Digital are also available for pre-order today. And yes, you would need just those 3 books.

Nick you seem kinda the expert on this, so what do you think? Do you prefer digital or hard copy?

And if the core rules are free why am I buying a rule book?

And if the core rules are free why am I buying a rule book? digital is great to have everything in one place, and easy to carry or take on trips etc, but I really like the feel of a book in my hand. I'll likely get the rulebook hardback but the indexes digital. The core rules are free, ie the phases of the game, but missions and objectives and scenarios, rules for city fight, death from the skies, planet strike, stronghold assault, narrative campaigns, strategems, detachments etc. Are not included. It's literally just the bare minimum to try out the game basics. Plus all the cool freaking art and model pics in the main rule book are well worth it if you ask me.

I think I might go digital on this one. The potential for a constantly updated ruleset really appeals to me here.

I'm just going with the free rules. GW also has promotional mission cards that come with your orders. Hopefully the dojo gets some

Too late, I ordered all of them.
I like that the stats will update, but I figure battlescribe will update those changes for me, and Nick is right, there is something about having a hard copy book
