Hey I am still trying to figure out when I actually started WH40K so I need some help. I want to ask for the release dates of some products/ campaigns and I will greatly appreciate anyone's help. Year is most important, anything other would be great. Here are some:
Cities of Death, Eye of Terror, Plastic Terminators, 4th Edition, 4th Ed. Guard Codex, 4th Ed. Space Marine Codex, Battle for Macragge.
Thats it for now so thanks for reading and a special thanks for helpers.

4th Ed came out in 04

Cities of Death - 2006 (just before Medusa V campaign)
Eye of Terror - 2003
Plastic Terminators - 2005 (for the latest ones)
4th Edition - 2004
4th Ed. Guard Codex - 2003 (just after the Eye of Terror campaign)
4th Ed. Space Marine Codex - 2004
Battle for Macragge - 2004

Cheers
Dave

Damn, I have been playing for 3 years already. And, I still don't understand all the rules.

I've been playing for 14 and I still don't know em either

I've been playing for the better part of 21 years, and some of the rules lawyers still puzzle me.

Then again, I regard beer as a must have when playing the game (we play in a Rugby supporters club).

/looks at necros and chromedog

I'm with you guys... I've been playing since '95 in the early days of 2nd and still peruse the Rogue Trader book with longing for the simple days...

40k's great for fluff, fists of dice, and miniatures, but bad for rules

Another Grognard here. Been playing since 2nd Edition was Launched ('93?) I remember I paid 5 pounds for my first Rhino.... And about the same again for the paints to make it look like a very badly painted Blood Angels APC...

I wore the binding out of my RT book a month after I got it. Pages started falling out. I miss that book.

Man, that's cuz the bindings on all of GW's hardcovers at the time were like that. Within a month it was falling apart. That's why WAAAGH! The Orks was so refreshing! It was looseleaf and meant to be put in a binder!

trying to work myself out now. When was the lizardmen armie book released, think i started just after that (the white dwarf with the red vyper on the front). Think it would be around 11years? ditto to still not knowing the rules, Had just sussed 3rd out! 5th more my thing though, completly skipt over 4th, as did those I know who play around me. I understand the need to keep things updated and fresh so they sell, but 4 years is a bit too frequent for my liking. hpefully the release of the hobbit will put the next version back a couple of years!

having played through 4 editions of 40k I sometimes wonder if I have forgotten more than I remember. I always screw up rules. Not intentionally mind you, just abscent mindedly.

Some of the "shenanigans" rules situations that are lawyered around lately just make me shake my head. They also lead me to pack up my models and go home too.
