Hi folks, A surprising length of time ago (over 3 years!) I moved from Reading to Cambridge and found myself in need of new fellow gamers. Time passed in a blur, amid some extraordinary life events, and then this Christmas I finally decided to do something about it! What I realised whilst lying on the couch watching Netflix with a fever and suffering a 48 hour bout of food poisoning in the New Year (not a hangover, scout's honour) was that I really wanted to return to my first love; 2nd edition 40k. Now I know that more modern games are probably easier to find support for. Heck, there's multiple gaming groups in my "new" area that cater to them. But I've tried other 40k versions and they just aren't my cup of tea. I like that every phase is different with no over-arching mechanics beyond chuck dice had fondle cards covered with idiosyncratic and incomplete rules! Anyway, because of where I live vs. where I work and transport arrangements Cambridge city centre gaming is difficult. However, thanks to the Oldhammer forum, I found myself an opponent in similar circumstances. We had our first game at the beginning of March and I'm looking forward to our next in a couple of weeks. Actually playing has got me more motivated than in the last ~20 years! So this wip thread has a dual purpose; keep that motivation going and maybe find some other interested 2nd edition gamers. Anyway, wordy introduction over. Please feel free to let me know what you think about my long over-due return to 40k after a 10 year flirtation with D&D and too many board games to count (I HATE resource management and block pushers, if it takes more than 10 minutes to explain, its isn't suitable for a casual gaming session!). And if you're near Cambridge and want to join the fun, I'm sure we can work something out. Dodgy phone pictures taken at dusk follow, will aim to improve. Thanks for reading my wall of text, Achinadav The majority of the host as it stands, there's some extra terminators and the motorpool on the shelves above and below. Blimey, an hour to abandon Google Photos and try Flickr...More to follow when I've got the endurance.

Hello everybody! I got so many good ideas and so much inspiration from people in this forum and now I think it's time to share some of my own stuff too. After an over ten year break from the hobby I got back into it a while ago. Thinking back I found that the games I played in second edition were the ones most rememberable and decided to start something with that in mind. I also knew that I have to restrict myself in this hobby to get something done, so I came up with these two (because one isn't enough) main projects : Storm of Vengeance (SoV) and Warhammer 40K 2nd edition box (2ndEB) SoV is the remaking of the historical armies (and terrain) from the Storm of Vengeance campaign book for Warhammer 40K second edition. For those of you not familiar with this 20(!) year old gaming goodnes: the campaign takes place on Piscina IV, a Dark Angel recruitment planet, between the DA 3rd Company and an Ork alliance between Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Tharaka (Goff) and Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub (Bad Moon). The Campaign book has 9 scenarios with lists of the historical forces involved and battle field layouts. 2ndEB is basically all the content of the Warhammer 40k 2nd edition box 'upgraded'. Including ruins, templates and markers. I try to give everything an 'updated' 2nd edition look, all Space Marines will be true/art/whatever- big scale and some of the Orks will be a bit bigger too. With the Xenos I will cheat a bit by using them for all scenarios and for both projects. So there will be Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Xenos scum (Orks) here. ...oh and also quite a bit of terrain Please don't hold back any criticism good or bad. Cheers, spraehbuer _-SoV-_ A t the moment I am mainly focusing on the terrain of scenario2 . Most of it is ready to get primed and painted.
