What you miss from 2nd/RT ed. (Not rules)
« on: March 22, 2004, 11:18:34 PM »
I was woundering what everyone misses from RT or 2nd ed. Just anything in general. Just want to see everything for fun.

Some of mine:

Ork players taking Dreadnaughts

Throwing grenades

Having 'power axe' or 'power sword' instead of power weapons

When there were allies (More of the idea and less of the rules, it was awesome seeing Orks and Chaos together)

Cult armies

Shooting B.B. guns (old RT bolters)

Chaos armies used to be all converted

The Avatar was actually an Avatar

Actually seeing Bikes in an army

Fluff

Fall seven times, stand up eight.

I love the smell of Starcannons in the morning.

Some of the RT fluff.  Seemed a little darker, but without the chaos crap.  Just a dark galaxy.

Whats RT anyway?

I personally wish the ork randomness back. I remember the old days of chewing marines with my squig katapult, and missing the khorne bezerker with the shock attack, only to hit abaddon instead and kill him and his squad in a lucky misfire. (I think I may have talked about that before) Now the orks are just plain wacky, they're not random. Those were the days!

Didnt play eldar back then, so I wont know about them
DONT FLAME ME...

RT is the first version of 40k. "Rogue Trader"


I think I miss the RT-era Avatar more than the monster of 2nd ed.
Harlequins.
Pirates.
Vortex Genades/Displacement-fields/Vortex detonators.

Lost Roads - finally released!
