off yourself mortal

They didn't put more stories of traveling in the warp in the second one

What are you talking about? The art was fantastic!

Nostalgia. It was great for the 80's but most of it even looked comically outdated by the early 2000s.

Read it through about three times now. Ultramarines are no where in site. Pretty big fuck up there.

No longer in print

...

Fun Fact:

UM were retconned into a FF Legion because most of the studio marines were found to have been painted blue when certain RB photos were being taken.

>gene sperm

No longer in print.
Ignored in favor of vastly inferior new fluff

Imagine if this was still true and it was a dark secret of the Ultras.

...

Daemon creation thread anyone?

>gene-sperm

Fucking author mixed up DA and Ultras.

I don't own them both.

I've only ever read one because that's the one my dad had.

None. Two of the best things ever published by GW.

just what it was called initially before they had to tone it down because it turned out kids were getting into 40k.

>make 40k more kids friendly
>introduce 3e Diaz daemonettes and art

Don't think so, Tim.

That was a swing back after 2nd edition though, and then it swung with re-covering up the boobs again later.

>made by Games Workshop

And then releasing stuff like the blood wrack medusa and hellstriders.

Extracting gene seed just became sexier.

So in the end: yes, GW definitely swings between sculpts being 'child-friendly' (aka no boobs or genitals) and a being a little bit more boob-friendly.

As far as I remember though they've not sculpted a dick on anything since the late '80s.

...

Hard to find for less than 300$

Some of the art was bad and not quite charming, just coompare both covers

The rng was at times TOO strong, but was still pretty damn hilarious.

A lot of the time you had to pretend a modle has mutations they didn't show.

Expensive nowadays.

Other than that, nothing, it's some of the highest tier stuff ever made by gw.

Not if you happen to have them in PDF form.

Theres a certain pressure to actually owning a book

True, but if it's raw data you want, the information is easy to get.

But I understand, I much prefer the actual book, even if the end goal is to actually use the info contained within to actually play a game.

>Lewdfondle Glopman

...

Well gene-seed isn't that far from its original name to be quite honest.

...

...

Your mom looks comically outdated.

...

DELETE THIS

The game.

Damn tables. Can't trust 'em.

BRB, masturbating.

You can consider the idea that the Ultramarines absorbed the Lost Legions to be a nod in that direction, regardless of said idea's actual credibility.

I'm not sure if the term was even used outside of that one line in Index Astartes: Ultra-Marines (which, incidentally, also couldn't decide whether chapter founder "Gulliman"'s first name was Roboute or Robert). Even the very next issue of White Dwarf called the stuff they filled Marines with gene-seed. Pic related.

'Oh yes, a pretty baby... Very pretty indeed.'

The plastic Daemonettes were covered up - although the ugly tranny redesign was just taking them back to their Realm of Chaos roots - but the Fiends released at the same time were actually lewder than the previous generation.

...

Not enough Space Marines.

SAVED!

>truename
>YYYUUEUEOEE

Particularly StD got heavily errata'd, so it's obviously not without flaw. But great fun, great art. Good times.

facepalm

>this

I used some of these tables in many other settings (in a moderate way, admittedly, but it works).

Yeah, they fixed that later.

...

>implying GW didnt start trying to appeal to 12 yos in the 90s

Been playing since RT times and I remember the swing very vividly: it was the accompanied by the first round of big price hikes.

>implying GW wasn't fun back then

is not age of sigmar :^)

8/8

This book was why I decided Nurgle was where my heart lies in warhammer.

could just get a copy printed up at Lulu or something

>worshipping Worst God

Y'all need Slaanesh.

I doubt one of those self-publishing companies would do it, considering that it's copyrighted material.

actually they will, you just have to do it as a private publication and not a publicly available one

When your beauty and vigour withers with age, you'll realise you belonged to Nurgle all along.

>implying I won't live fast, die young, and be a sexy trap demon forever

It seems like a low-percentage move to surrender right off the bat to despair, instead of raging against the dying of the light.

>Find a flaw.
We all could if we wanted to. We have these books. A simple flaw would be the artwork for "slaves to darkness". It doesn't live up to "lost and the damned".

Question. I only have a loose idea of what Warhammer was like pre-6th edition of WHFB. When I see exerpts or these books, they seem to be RPG boks, so what are they? Part wargame part role-playing game rulebooks?

WFRP, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. These books have rules for 1e, but play 2e if you get the chance- it's basically 1.5, and it's not the garbage fire that is FFG's 'contribution' to the line.

>Two random rolls determine whether or not someone becomes a skeleton champion

>want to make one? Make a regular champion, then kill him!

God I loved this game.

I remember warbands were often much more powerful than standard WFB armies and thus couldn't be fielded against each other fairly. I mean there was one nurgle banner, iirc which could seriously fuck an army on its own.
Nothing else really. It was a golden era for gaming and the miniatures were fantastic, and metal.
Shame it all went to shit.

the d1000 table in the Tome of Corruption for WFRP2 is pretty good too

My Negroid. That book had some fantastic tables in it, and some really good fluff.

When will Slaanesh be removed from 40k?

During Age of Sigmar :^)

>Pulley system
Wat

>And behind door number three, you find [roll]... a whale!
>A what.
>A whale. It's very uncomfortable; it's kind of smooshed in there.
>...what kind of whale?
>Does your character know anything about whales?
>No...
>For that matter, has he ever even seen the sea?
>No.
>Then you have no idea what kind of whale it is.

I think this one is actually dedicated to "animal parts" for mutants
So yes, you can have a potato-headed ""beast""man

It's part of the Daemon design chapter, which has 10 different tables for generating random crap.

If you roll 'Manifestly Weird' on one of them, you get directed to replace 1d10 body parts with results from the 'Really Strange Stuff' table.

So theoretically you could be a Daemon who has his arms, legs, tail, head, and genitals replace with whales. Not whale parts, but full whales.

Door #3 just got much more complicated.

admittedly, they went way overboard on the number of tables in this and if you do everything with random rolls, you end up with ridiculous shit all over your campaign (ie: rabbit headed minotaurs with tank tracks for legs and 76 buttholes where their nipples sould be) but still, it's good fun

...

Yeah, you should probably just do whatever the fuck you and your group playing the campaign thinks works/is appropriate.

And shit like that, a lot of people will go for. I mean, why else are you playing this? You are in it for weird shit, or with the understanding that it can get weird and you are ok with that.

You too can have a Warband of Sewer Mutants from Futurama! Start playing today!

...

...

I've never been quite sure how I feel about the Illuminati/Sensei metaplot. On the one hand, various conspiracies working for good and rubbing against each other seems very 40k, but on the other a great big 'save the universe' ritual doesn't.
