If you liked the older edition, just keep playing that one. Its really only the tournament players who 'need' (even then thats probably pushing it) to keep up to date with the latest of shiny rules/errata/faq.<br /><br />My semi irregular group I play/talk rubbish with is all about playing 2nd ed 40K and currently 5th ed Fantasy as that's where their memories most often take them.<br /><br />Like you though, my compulsive need to see me have my own GW shop in my back room ensures I trot down to my local stockist and collect the latest shiny BRB/Codex for the faction of my choice to add to the other 4-6 versions of the same that are now 'outdated'.<br /><br />Gosh I sound like a grumpy old man.<br />LWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769460904008281915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010917663653102321.post-2966083239197962062013-10-18T17:54:49.699+01:002013-10-18T17:54:49.699+01:00I tried to play 6th edition when the Dark Vengeanc...I tried to play 6th edition when the Dark Vengeance boxed set came out.<br />I didn't play 3rd through 5th editions as I was too busy with the fairer gender and recreational substances. (Though I did continue collecting and painting.)<br />RT and 2nd is where I remember most all my rules from and RT was my most favourite. <br /><br />But the current rules are dull and uninspiring. No depth and completely sily really at the scale they are meant for. <br /><br />I still love many aspects of WH40K as far as the setting as a whole, but as a rules set I prefer to set it aside and play something far more appropriate to my tastes like 5150: Star Army.<br /><br />Keep up the amazing creating of your own 40K world. It's always a good experience reading your latest update to your own fluff.<br /><br />Happy 400th post. I don't want to win anything, give it to Scipio instead. He's closer to you anyhow so mailing costs will be far more affordable.Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978439841611727387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010917663653102321.post-63291529498471592242013-10-18T13:51:57.738+01:002013-10-18T13:51:57.738+01:00Very interesting - I have every rulebook since 3 a...Very interesting - I have every rulebook since 3 and I would agree with your assessment on each one, especially about 4 hitting the sweet spot. Generally when we game now, we play from memory (which is an amalgamation of 4/5), with a few bits simplified (CC is generally a 'pile in and everone fights' affair), with 6 on standby to look up unknown rules. And also congrats on the post milestone.Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010917663653102321.post-3804890872602246112013-10-18T12:50:28.197+01:002013-10-18T12:50:28.197+01:00Interesting article!

Having played through all the editions they all start to blend together for me (which is a pain when I actually get the occasional game in, as I'm continually misremembering what rules are current and what are holdovers from earlier editions). I do think that I had the most fun with 2nd edition, even though it was a hero-hammer-ish randomized mess. Definitely agree with your points on down the line with the various editions!<br /><br />Congrats on 400 posts, man! I've enjoyed reading 'em and I look forward to hundreds more!
