These are the art files I've been using to produce Datafaxes via GIMP, etc.

Other races can easily be done by simply converting over a couple of colours (for Necrons and Squats for example - stuff I don't have on hand at the moment!).

Inspiration: White Dwarf Images from the 90's.

I grabbed a few decent pictures from some PDF scans of old White Dwarf magazines during the 90's.  I will upload more as I stumble upon them.

Unboxing: 2nd Edition Warhammer 40K (Midwinter Minis)

A couple of months ago, YouTube Midwinter Minis did a nice unboxing video of the 2nd edition starter box.  A starter box which is in shockingly good condition.  It's a nice video showcasing the components:

Terrain: 2nd Edition Style Imperial Bunker (from Ziterdes)

Many die-hards of the oldhammer scene will be familiar with this item, but it's worth putting the information out.

Anyone reading rule books or battle reports will remember the rather prominent Imperial Bastion/Bunker which was frequently featured. Ziterdes of Germany currently produce a "version" of this bunker in hard foam. There are rumours that Ziterdes used to produce this stuff for GW, but I haven't found any concrete information (it's just as likely they copied the design of the GW one!).

Regardless, if you can stomach shipping from Germany, this Ziterdes bunker would look perfect on your 2nd edition tables:

Ziterdes Bastion (Hard Foam)

I hope to get my hands on one of these soon...and perhaps assemble some old red and green spiked cactii!

Resuming Content!

After getting exhausted with 2nd edition editing and re-works, I'm back at it.  Took a sojourn into 8th edition Warhammer 40K, and have now been rather burned out on it.  So, getting back into 2nd edition and will finish up the resources needed for this blog.  Have a few plans for the next few weeks:

• Revise and update all sets of datafaxes.  These will be labeled "2020" when updated.
• Edit, and relaunch the 2nd edition dice pack (adding 2nd edition compatible tokens)
• Finish a few more cheat sheets.
• Eventually add a 2nd edition battle report or two to the blog.
• Revise and release some "Project Anvil" game modifications that my friends and I use to streamline some of the clunkier portions of 2nd edition.
