Does anybody know (or would like to see/know) any channels that make new battle reports using old editions of the game? (2nd edition, 3rd edition, Epic, Battle Fleet Gothic, etc). I'd love to see how the really old editions of 40k still hold up and if the other games games seem fun but anything in 240p on an old 2003 cam recorder makes my eyes bleed so I'm wondering if anybody still makes these kinda battle reports using modern equipment?

It's also important to preserve these games I suppose as 40k has a "the newest is best" kinda feel to it so a lot of the old editions are left forgotten forever. Potentially, in another 10 years, we may all look back and find we don't even know anybody who remembers the editions so would be awesome to archive some games. If I had the time I'd make this channel and also find 2d edition models to play the games with. XD

I have some old 5th ed reports that are available here on Dakka; many of the pictures were removed, but something to check out if ya want!

I enjoy batreps from 2nd the most because of out of control vehicles, detailed vehicle damage charts and the immersive psychic mini-game. Get the battle bible from the interwebz and you can play 2nd yourself. Have fun.
