White Dwarf 216 Full Of Fluff

This book (provided here in PDF form) varied quite a bit from the later codices (points value, army lists, wargear etc.

This cheat sheet compiles a number of vehicles rules into a simple front-and-back printable PDF.

It includes numerous tables, charts and a number of small simple rules which are frequently overlooked when dealing with vehicles.

Along with the Project Anvil revision, Ill be trying to compile simple cheat sheets for player use with 2nd edition Warhammer 40K.

I hope to allow players to compile a small folder of Cheat Sheets which address common mistakes and commonly used materials.

Strategy Ratings.

This is a simple compiled list of all of the available Strategy Ratings in Warhammer 40K, 2nd Edition.

Occasionally a well-known YouTube channel will run a review of 2nd edition materials.

Ill throw in some link reviews into the Codex overviews as well.

Anyone who collected or played 40K in the mid-90s will recognize the homage below.

The large staged images with a simple caption on a swirled grey marble background was a hallmark of rulebooks, codices and White Dwarf magazines (for quite some time the rear cover of each White Dwarf was done in this fashion).

Ive assembled my painted models and tried to replicate the feel of some of these images.

One feature of 2nd edition Warhammer 40K was the templates - oh the.

Fit for printing (suggest heavy lamination when printed, etc.).

It was unique in that it did not feature an army, but rather the combined rules for the four types of Imperial Assassin which had previously been provided in scattered White Dwarf articles as they were released.

Its 3rd edition replacement was even MORE scant and would feature the same cover art only a year later (or thereabouts).

It was also a hint at 3rd edition as this book included no wargear cards (even special wargear for various units was occasionally put into wargear cards) - this book almost shares the format of later 3rd edition books.

When 2nd Edition Warhammer 40K launched it did so without a wave of immediate codex releases (the codex idea was relatively new).

White Dwarf 216 Full Of Fluff

The Codex Imperialis was a book full of fluff and background for the amassed units of 40K, while the Codex Army Lists book provided the actual breakdown of armies - featuring all of their units, points costs, construction rules, and wargear.

This black book as its commonly known, would be the codex for all armies until they received their own codices in turn.

Some armies such as the Inquisition, various Imperial Agents and Squats would never receive a proper codex.

This was the last time youd see a Squat Army List for Warhammer 40K - they were subsequently removed from the game.

I dont recall reading in White Dwarf how strict GW was about the use of the black book after subsequent codices were released.

I doubt youd find anyone who would argue if you wanted to use the black book instead of a codex.
