Now that, I miss!

I miss the extremely colourful and varied mishaps that could occur with your heavy weapons (or even just the descriptions). There was a time where your Terminator's Cyclone could misfire and he'd spin around shooting off all his missiles indiscriminately.

being able to parry

warp spiders using the flammer template

setting enemies on fire

anti plant weapons

rapid fire dice

tarantulas and rapiers

smoke grenades

blind grenades

the dark millenium

high ground in combat

armor modifiers

Termie armor 3+ on 2d6

Leman Russ with a turret AV of 25

displacement field

when sentinels had assault cannons and looked like eggs

Praetorians

ork mad boyz & minderz

traitor marines that looked like demons in power armor (truly the best figures ever - better than the current models)

psychology

weapons causing more than 1 wound

having abbadon and his black guard show up and watching my entire army break just at the sight of the talon of horus.

harlequin armies and their shooting modifiers

Space wolf armies containing 15 wolf guard in termie armor with chain swords, assault cannons, and cyclone launchers. When you unleashed the entire cyclode payload you got the 6" blast marker

targeters

there are so many more but its getting late and the Phillies are up :(

There are many things I miss from earlier versions of the game. Most have been mentioned already.

My Harlequin army.
That was death incarnate.

Death Jester on a War Walker with shuricannon and lascannon. If the walker was destroyed, he'd get down, dismount the shuricannon and continue on foot, with his carapace armour save.

Overwatch

I fondly remember playing a Jet Bike harli army with my IG... I couldn't hit anything until they got close to my lines and my two hell hounds rolled 10's on the artillery dice and torched the only kills... I think I either killed or removed from play about 2/3's of their jet bikes but by that time, I was already dead... that was just a broken army list... I had -4 and -5 to hit with my guard. I needed a 6 and then a 5 or 6 to hit after that. Just ugly.
