New Dice Solutions for 2nd Edition

While my initial set of replacement dice has been discontinued (the manufacturer doubled the cost of the items to the point where I wasn't comfortable trying to sell them), Baron of Dice, manufacturer of loads of excellent alternative dice have been slowly ramping up dice for other games, including - surprise - 2nd edition 40K or old edition Necromunda, etc.

 

 So if you're looking for Sustained Fire dice, Artillery (and Scatter) dice, head on over to Baron of Dice.  You may even notice that their artillery dice is...suspiciously similar to my version (using the exact same font...).  Guess immitation is the most sincere form of something...

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 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!)

Cheat Sheet: Movement

Cheat Sheet: Leadership and Psychology

Cheat Sheet: Strategy Ratings

Cheat Sheet: Vehicle Rules

Cheat Sheet: Psychic Phase

Cheat Sheet: Squadrons, Batteries, and Crewmen

Cheat Sheet: Chaos Daemons

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.
