It won't be a golden age until GW manages to make a codex for every army every edition. It's not even asking that much- roughly 90-100 pages for fourteen armies, and statlines and images take up a reasonable chunk of that.

Golden age will be when GW wakes up and listens to its fan base - like blizzard and other companies do

We make them their money, if they wanna keep making money they need to make us happy

Some of the coolest parts of 40K fluff/setting got recognition in some form (genestealer cults for example) and I really liked the "feel" of the game as far as having wargear cards, etc.

I also enjoyed the mission cards and how they made it so each player could have a seperate obective(s).

It felt like a miniatures-rpg hybrid and despite the fact that it was clunky at times, every game felt like an event.

As far as models and terrain, we are definitely in a golden age NOW.

I totally agree. The games I played in 2 ed were the most memorable games I have ever played.

The mission cards really added atmosphere and ensured that every game was different.

I would love to see the cards returned in 6th ed.

If models were not available you kit bashed and converted. It was still cheap enough to do it back then.

The focus was on fun and creativity back then.

The models are better now days and far superior so they are having a Goldern age I guess.

For 40K as a whole the Goldern age has well and truly, been and gone sadly.
