For lovers of Warhammer & Games Workshop products from before the turn of the millennium.

Rules

  1. Be awesome! We are all here to share our hobby, so lets share the love.
  2. Posts should be about GW products from the last millennium, but old stuff in general and modern oldhammer style miniatures are also welcome.
  3. No Buying and selling. I’m sure folks will be happy to help you identify or even give a good indication of worth, but leave it at that.

I already heard that 2e is better played with a friend, because of all the "jank". But as I don't have anyone to play it with it's a moot point.

The smaller armies is sure also a big point in favour of 2e. But sadly I don't have any classical marines (apart of some Space Wolves heroes that were still on sale during 4th like Ragnar and the Iron Priest). So I thought about using the MKVI mariens from Horus Heresy as a stand in and just kitbash the characters needed for the army.
But it's all just in my head for now anyways. Maybe I'll find some proper classical stuff until I can actually get around to do this.

Edit: Almost forgot about the Land Raider. Bit being a child of 4e I vastly prefer the current design to be honest.

You don't have to.
After a short stoll on ebay I found some old Guardians in dire need of a rescuing for cheap and some painted Dire Avengers with Exarch for a sane price. So I'll probably break with my usual playing of Space Marines and do something else for once.
