Recently started dabbling in 2nd edition after being gifted a vast quantity of beaky marines, having a wide collection of 2-3rd edition chaos I figured they’d be fine to fit the look. So interesting to see what the game used to be. The randomness alone is a big seller but also the fact that 10 marines being 300 points and about 1/4th of your army really fits the idea that marines were super elite soldiers, 10 marines equaled 30 guardsmen or 25 orks, heck a squad of marines was more expensive than a leman Russ tank! Can’t wait to actually play this game XD
Awesome mate and I think you will love it as it has the randomness that was fun of those era games and like you say the points are upped so you you can play a good game at 1K
It's an excellent edition. Close combat based on skill, fast-moving hit modifiers, vehicle gear system, fire arcs, environmental damage, tactical overwatches, elites are elite. Uses a lot of good game design choices.
Great nostalgia blast, thank you very much for uploading. But if you are able to reduce that background chatter please that would be wonderful. I had difficulty hearing the players due to the laughs and conversations in the background drowning them out. Perhaps using directional microphones as opposed to asking others to be quiet could be a possibility?
omg i just discovered your channel. REAL WARHAMMER, please more battle reports! thanks for taking the time to share with us
Thank you and yes many more battle reports to come mate. Every week in fact :)

Fantastic stuff.... its keeping me sane lol
Great to hear mate as the hobby has kept me sane for many a year *=*
I miss 2nd edition. My kids want to try, but I'm missing most of the stuff except for a few codices, and not the ones they'd need.
The FB market places are your best friend for finding a lot of these old games and I wish you luck in your quest
Definitely need more RT and 2nd ed battle reports. :)
Great to see 2nd being played. Looks like fun. Only shame being the background noise level.
Are those Cawdor models?
Yes mate they are
Yeah baby!
Haha, I forgot Virus Outbreak.. That one was horrendous! :D For people without Power Armour or similar anyways, hehe.
Are the Cawdor representing Frateris Militia?
Yes that’s right mate
YESH BABY
