I just took delivery of the rulebooks for Warhammer 40k, Second edition. The week goes well so far!
All my best gaming memories in 40k stem from this ruleset and I’ve never quite enjoyed 40k through other editions since.
Now to have a few quick games and get my head back into the more detailed second edition combat and figure where I can splice in Necromunda traits nicely.
Will have to seek out Dark Mmillenium rules next..
– Sebastian.
Aww, my favorite edition as well. I liked that it was rather detailed and smaller scale instead of the mass battle game it has become. (With all the super heavies and apocalypse battles nowadays it’s starting to look like Epic in 28mm…)
Necromunda and 2nd edition mesh quite nicely (hence the whole =I=Munda phenomenon), being essentially the same ruleset with one focussed on squads and the other on individuals. To make things super easy, ten Necromunda credits equals one 40K 2nd ed. army building point.
Glad I’m not alone! :D
Oooh thanks for the tip Credits/Pts – I think you’re going to love what I’m getting up too ;)
Soon.. very soon.
Seeing your track record for awesome, I can’t wait!
Dude, too kind – I was talking Horus Heresy FW books with a couple of folks and there is a lot of ideas similar to my campaign. :)
I’ve never really looked at the FW Horus Heresy books. (I wouldn’t be able to afford the buy-in in miniatures on top of all other projects, so why torment myself with the books?)
You’re only making me more curious you know! Both about the heresy books, and your plans…
I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
