So....2nd is the must have? I have rogue trader, 3rd through to last edition and all codicies? codexes? for 4th through 6th, many for 2nd, imperial armour 1-7 hardback and half a dozen of their softbacks, 13th black crusade book, apocalypse, cityfight (old and newer), chapter approved and many more. I was going to list them individually on ebay but if any 40k fans are interested......

If your copy of RT is hardback and in good condition, I might be interested if you're looking to get rid of it.

Likewise, if you have any Chapter Approved or Index Astartes collections (they were collected from WD and published as books), I would also be interested.

Just drop me a PM!

That anthropormorpic turtle is very grimdark.

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

One thing GW does well is inspires you lot to be hella funny.

  oh yes!

[grant]

Perfect!

Anything but a one ...

A mere £200 for the new Battle Table:

Unpainted, obviously

Trouble is the turtles started out more like the one on the right! I have a feeling that for a lot of older gamers the perception of 40K goes in that direction too, from 'kewl' grimdark to goofy cartoon.

[grant]

I thoroughly enjoyed 2nd because it was goofy! Straight up fun.

[Vermis]

It's not a watertight theory. But the overall point is that if you don't outgrow 40K, 40K outgrows you. Or rather, it forces you to outgrow it in it's efforts to change and appeal to new generations of it's target demographic: kids and teens. Best you can do, if you stick with it, is to do what everyone already said and stick to your favourite old edition.

I think it's a bit similar to what happened with the Star Wars Prequel Wars: on one hand there's very little excuse for midichorians, gungans and Hayden Christensen, but the problem is that the audience who grew up with the 77-86 movies did just that - they grew up. They're not the main market anymore.

A mere £200 for the new Battle Table:

Close to $400 Cnd.

You can drop close to $1000 when you add some terrain.

Nuts, isn't it?!?

Nuts, isn't it?!?

That goes beyond nuts. I can't even think of how much regular terrain I could get for $1000.

Tables and tables worth. At those prices, Grand Manner is like a bargain. And their stuff is amazing! Imagine a $1000 shopping spree there - I almost can't.
