My wife decided that we should buy ourselves something we wanted, but did not get for Christmas (I wonder what prompted that policy...).
I had been looking for the 8th Edition Index Xenos 1, with the idea that I could build up an Eldar army from the various collections of parts, old figures, and whatnot that I have stashed away, and then play games with my kid's Space Marines. (he routinely now tells me how he is going to beat me using this unit or that unit, so it might be nice if I could actually win a few times too!)
For those of you not up on 40k rules, when Games Workshop switched from 7th to 8th edition back in 2017, they reset all the codex army books, and released these index books to cover all possible units instead. Each one covers several armies, and provides a datasheet for each unit/character etc. These were great, but poorly balanced (staff churned all of these out in a short timespan) and almost immediately obsoleted by releasing individual codex army books again... in 9th edition that cycle of codex creep continues.
I looked on ebay, and managed to locate someone selling ALL of the index books as a lot, and further the guy took my (very) low price offer and even better he was local and I did not have to pay shipping... pretty sweet deal, and worth a trip to a random starbucks to pick up.

Great Haul!
Not to stir the poop, but I love the new Apoc game (...it works just fine for regular sized armies) and the Army lists are all free pdfs.
It's always good when old books find new homes. :)
Well you can use those data sheets with 9th edition and you can download the core rules for free:

Doesn't have the campaign rules, but certainly enough to get playing!
