Cheat Sheet: Chaos Daemons

This was a tough one, but it's a good try!  I've compiled as many of the special Daemon rules into a two-sided sheet.  Some of the larger tables are still necessary from the Codex.  This should cover the most basic aspects of buying, summoning and running Daemons in your Chaos Space Marine force.

Inspiration: Steam Flunky's War in the Desert

Steamflunky over on Lead Adventure has been sharing some nicely shopped images of 40K in the desert.  Just so happens they feature mostly old Squats and some vehicle conversions.  Lovely stuff!

Cheat Sheet: Squadrons, Batteries and Crewmen (and updates!)

Another cheat sheet.  This time it covers the (somewhat weird) rules for support weapon batteries, vehicle squadrons and I compiled the vehicle crewmen stats/equipment for use.


Also, I've updated a few of the other cheat sheets (fixing minor typos and changing some slightly confusing wording).  Please see the "Get Started" post for the new ones.

Orks vs. Tyranids

My buddies played a game of 2nd ed. the other night, slowly beginning to form the Project Anvil adjustments (we use activation chits drawn from a mug - allowing much more of a back-n-forth, etc.).  These kinds of rules will be detailed later when they're nicely ironed out.

The game was Orks vs. Tyranids (with a likely Tyranid victory when the game was called).  It's fun seeing the group re-assembling armies which have sat dormant in shelving for 10-15-20 years.  Most of the group played 40K up through 2nd/3rd ed. and bailed out when the game became more tournament based and the scale went through the roof.








 Note some of the unpainted stuff - a lot of us are starting to fill out armies with whatever models we can get our hands on - including using new plastics where they fit!

Cheat Sheet: Psychic Phase

This one was tough and still didn't cram in all the minor bits, but the vast majority of stuff you'll need to reference is within!

Get Started!

This post is a resource dump for players looking to get into 2nd Edition Warhammer 40K or those searching for a specific resource.  These are available in various other posts as they are produced/released.

*Note: Project Anvil produces a number of resources but we're also gathering the best online resources available.  If you created a resource located on this blog, please let us know so we can add our thanks!

Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition Components
 Warhammer 40K came with a load of cards, decks, tokens, templates, etc.  We've located the best PDF versions of these contents for you.   While old copies are occasionally available on eBay they're often in disrepair or incomplete.  We hope to provide as many of these items to you as possible.






 


Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition Vehicle Datafaxes
 Vehicles in Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition were provided with a datafax or a double-sided card which detailed their abilities, stats, and provided a special armour/damage table.  We're in the process of digitizing these into PDFs - collecting vehicles from various White Dwarf magazines, later releases etc.  In addition we're adjusting weapon listings to better match current plastic kits, etc.  In a few places we're adding some vehicles which did not exist in 2nd edition (the plastic Eldar Wave Serpent, and Ork Deffkoptas for example).  These will be updated as we release them.




Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition Necron Materials
 Necrons showed up in small numbers in 2nd Edition by way of several small White Dwarf articles.  We've combine them into a simple PDF including the Necron Destroyer datafax.


Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition Cheat Sheets
 We're producing a number of simple cheat sheets for various portions of the 2nd edition rulebook.  These cheat sheets serve to make finding and applying rules easier/faster (while the rules in the rulebook were quite good they often buried rules in large paragraphs which can take time to find during game play!)





Project Anvil Modifications
The modifications PDFs include rules modifications we've made to modernize or streamline elements of Warhammer 40K 2nd edition.  Due to the nature of these changes, players will be required to adapate wargear, unit rules etc. to the new system (i.e. you'll have to make some decisions on how certain things play out!).  These are obviously completely optional and not part of the original rule-set for Warhammer 40K 2nd edition.

Cheat Sheet: Tyranids and Eldar

While these aren't very official PA material, my friend and I have done up simple quick reference sheets for the Eldar and Tyranids after our last few games.  They were inspired by the rather handy cheat sheet provided in the 2nd Edition Chaos Codex.




Also, some pictures of the games (I should have taken more!).  The Eldar were soundly shot to pieces and eaten three games in a row.
