Back when i used to play Guard in 2nd ed . i say guard as my army would consist of landraiders filled with ogryns ..rhinos filled with beastmen and human bombs ..harlequins in a landraider...a commissar load a teleporter and a vortex grenade. and a marine libby so only 1 human in the whole army . was a suprise to my OPS when the vehicals are raced forward to close combat and instead of lil str3 ws2 chaps he got abhumans of doom coming at him ! then the centre of his army is sucked into the warp with my kamikaze commissar teleports into them ..

oh and if you were playing space marine renagades hideing your 3 dreadnaughts in rhinos and chargeing them in to combat ..

and my fav was the stratagy cards that you could play at the start of the game ....virus out break basicly every model of the enermy that wasnt in powered armour or hadnt paid 3pts per model for a rebrether was dead on a 4+ nice !

Wow, that was a long time ago. Heh, I remember some of that too...

I only played it 6mths ago havnt played any games in years but was clearing out the attic and found the books so had a game with a mate who started with 4th ed and got him hooked ...ok it took 3hrs for a 2000pt game but with all the lil rules and the combat system where you role each atack and parry got you so into the models perspective it was like playing a game 3rd person wheres nowdays its like comand and conquer.

was great for example poweraxe =+1str
powerfist normal atacks or 1 str10
swords you could parry a atack on a 6
chainswords st4 etc
not to mention the countless pistols lol

Oh sure! I remember the COMPENDIUM!



Here's a 20 year old trick lads...

On super nasty tricks: From that list, I had a buddy take a Techmarine, a jump pack, and a lascutter (has become a servo harness in the current edition). The Lascutter rules said D20 wounds to any target in 2 inches!

He used it to Las Cutter a Bloodthirster in half in one go doing 16 wounds!

(I think the lascutter was intended for use versus static targets, like walls and such but that's not quite how the rule was written.)

The Eldar player then proceeds to not put any terrain on the table and places in entire army in reserve. The DE player's Firestorm has nothing to hit and his force is deployed onto the terrainless table. Eldar player then proceeds to slaughter the coverless DE army.

That seems totally fair on *both* sides of the table.

LOL and dont forget you could have upto 5 techmarines as one slot ! each one able to take 50pts off wargear so you could have 3 with that and one with a refactor sheild which had a 6inch bubble and one with a comlink so you can close suport them with orbital bombadment ! lol danger close !
