The art.
>>47755143
Having material for Fantasy and 40K in one book for two editions and confusing the fuck out of my folders. Other than that I can't.
I can't yet play a high production value adaptation of it for mount and blade bannerlord.
>>47755143
They didn't continue on that direction
>>47755143
cat demon. Nurgle's daemons looking more warriorlike than Khorne's. Khorne not having any bull features. practically no skulls on Khorne's image.
>>47755143
Two books, not one.
Tables, the bookening.
Nurgle on the cover, not Best-god (Tzeentch)
Titles look like they were drawn on the back of a math book by a bored teenager.
Still better than what we have now.

What are you talking about? The art was fantastic!
>>47756488
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 It was great for the 80's but most of it even looked comically outdated by the early 2000s.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.
>>47755143
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.

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

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.
>>47755143
>made by Games Workshop
>>47760330
And then releasing stuff like the blood wrack medusa and hellstriders.
>>47757658
Extracting gene seed just became sexier.
>>47760409
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.
>>47760500

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.

Theres a certain pressure to actually owning a book
>>47765293
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.

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.
>>47759854
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.'
>>47760330
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.

I used some of these tables in many other settings (in a moderate way, admittedly, but it works).
>>47773486
Yeah, they fixed that later.
>>47760141

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

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

>>47775591
I doubt one of those self-publishing companies would do it, considering that it's copyrighted material.
>>47775615
actually they will, you just have to do it as a private publication and not a publicly available one
>>47775603
When your beauty and vigour withers with age, you'll realise you belonged to Nurgle all along.
>>47775757
>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?
>>47775878
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.
>>47777336
>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.
>>47755143
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.
>>47755981
the d1000 table in the Tome of Corruption for WFRP2 is pretty good too
>>47778735
My Negroid. That book had some fantastic tables in it, and some really good fluff.
When will Slaanesh be removed from 40k?

>>47780232
I think this one is actually dedicated to "animal parts" for mutants
So yes, you can have a potato-headed ""beast""man
>>47780315
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.
>>47780454
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
>>47778735
>>47780538
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.
