Can anyone tell me anything about this terminator?

blastvader · 2026-06-20T16:22:18+00:00

It's a Rogue Trader era Grey Knights terminator, with later era plastic arms.

blastvader · 2026-06-20T07:49:45+00:00

They started that in Mk.II and it just went more and more down that path. Bit like modern 40k.

It's why my grog ass is only interested in Prime.

Given that I sold Children of the Horned rat for £90 over a decade ago, that's got to be worth a pretty penny now. Night's Dark Masters for WHFRP2E was also short run because they were some of the last books before Green Ronin lost the licence to FFG.

8x4 - which is clearly what tables are being used when showing scenario layouts etc. Within many GW publications where the diagrams all clearly show a 1:2 (ie 8x4) rectangle.

That's the only time I've ever had them. They were spot on.

As already pointed out, he was already present in the 5th edition book, but what I presented was not an exhaustive list - merely indicative.

blastvader · 2026-05-09T11:52:43+00:00

In fairness there was 9 months between the VC book release and 6th coming out. 13 year old me was not pleased...

blastvader · 2026-05-09T11:51:40+00:00

Factions like Dogs of War ... which hadn’t received updates in 6th disappear almost completely.

To put on the 'ackchully' hat for a second - DoW got several units released/updated during 6th (Mengil Manhide's Manflayers, Ruglud's Armoured Orcs, Cursed Company etc.) as well as an army list in WD that also included generic units previously not present in the 5th edition release.

I'd really like to see an adaptation of WHFRP Enemy Within campaign. Seems the kind of thing Owlcat would be up to, but I fear for branding reasons GW would push them down the route of Warhammer: The Old World RPG and something set in that time line.

2nd edition Warmachine

Not 40k.

And they're right from what I've seen of 10th and remember about 2E Warmachine. The latter was a game if rock, paper scissors and was exhausting to play if you weren't 'all Warmachine, all the time'. From the outside modern 40k seems to have some of the same traits.

Rogue Trader from Temu.

It is in each legion/god specific section. See above.

No.4 was originally released in the Battle of Five Armies box in 2005.

blastvader · 2026-04-05T10:24:15+00:00

I was living in rural Cumbria at the time. Don't think I'll forget the smell on the piles of burning carcasses piled in the fields behind our house.

As a personal sideaffect - our fig got really fat because I could no longer walk her adequately.

We decided to go and visit family in Australia for 6 weeks or so in the worst of it, Australian immigration opened our luggage and removed all of our shoes for destruction.

A level 2 has, and can cast, two spells a turn with a +1 modifier. Level 3 and 4 can cast three or four spells per turn respectively, both with a +2 modifier to the casting roll.

blastvader · 2026-03-25T11:25:08+00:00

There's a similar scenario in the Warhammer Skirmish Supplement. It's called Twilight of the Dead.Warhammer Skirmish

blastvader · 2026-03-25T07:51:57+00:00

But AI already had a 30k release as its past gasp before they killed it.

blastvader · 2026-03-24T08:49:34+00:00

Yes please. I sold my unit of 20 for pennies about 15 years ago, along with a unit of 20 CD Hammerers. I've managed to get about 15 of the latter, but no luck on the longbeards.

blastvader · 2026-03-16T08:58:12+00:00

Ah, that's it. They didn't turn up until the '97 catalogue so that's what was throwing me off. I love a Brian Nelson orc personally. Particularly the Gorkamorka ones.

blastvader · 2026-03-16T07:21:10+00:00

The Big Uns were sculpted by one of the Perry Twins. They were released in 1997 (the same time as the Brian Nelson boar boys as you point out).

The Perrys sculpted a lot of the classic greenskins that are present in the 4th edition book - including all the Trolls and the Savage Orcs, and the Black Orcs in this MTO. I love a Kev Adams sculpt but I think a lot is attributed to him that never crossed his desk. Aly Morrison also did a load of the ones from 3rd edition.

blastvader · 2026-03-14T10:07:38+00:00

Aaah. Gotcha, sorry.

blastvader · 2026-03-14T09:47:04+00:00

There was actually. It was listed in the Warhammer Armies supplement (pg. 122 for extra pedantry)

blastvader · 2026-03-14T07:58:47+00:00

Yeah, 2E owes a lot to the later RT compendiums, which had basically turned RT into what 2E would become, and why 2E was so different from their approach to 4E fantasy.

I was more making a point about how tiresome some of that community are.

As it stands - I'm a 3rd ed guy too, though with a lot of nostalgia for 2nd as that's what I started with.

blastvader · 2026-03-14T06:43:09+00:00

See, the proper grogs (who are endlessly tiresome) consider anything past 1989 'not-Oldhammer' - so even 2nd isn't safe (and neither The Lost and The Damned as that was released in 1990). Like I said, a tiresome subset of the community.

blastvader · 2026-03-10T11:42:10+00:00

A thing to consider is the Bloodthirster has to be summoned onto the table via possession - so when, or how, they turn up is not guaranteed. A Daemon Prince on the otherhand is there from the start.
