It’s another retro Warhammer 40k painting video! This time I’m painting over a hundred miniatures from Epic Space Marine, Games Workshop’s old school 6mm mas...
Oh yeah, Ed definitely does it for himself. He is just kind enough to let the rest of us watch. :D
With his videos he definitely makes me want to play 2nd Edition too. Never played it myself as I’m probably a tad too young for it. But it does look loads of fun.
Sadly I don’t have anyone to play it with. And the miniatures are pretty much unaffordable for me as a whole army unless I manage to win the lottery.
But maybe I could just take the Horus Heresy starter. But which chapter should I make…
I’ve played a few games of 2e to try it out. It is a colorful, but awkward system. The kind of thing you’d have to play with a good natured friend. The rules are too vague and requiring mutual agreement to be any kind of tournament mindset competitive.
The small nature of the armies involved in a 2e force makes it appealing to me. I have a number of classic marines and some scratch made vehicles, which over time were supplemented by some plastic kits. I don’t have anything truly amazing like that old style Land Raider, which is simply an amazing design.
I already heard that 2e is better played with a friend, because of all the “jank”. But as I don’t have anyone to play it with it’s a moot point.
The smaller armies is sure also a big point in favour of 2e. But sadly I don’t have any classical marines (apart of some Space Wolves heroes that were still on sale during 4th like Ragnar and the Iron Priest). So I thought about using the MKVI mariens from Horus Heresy as a stand in and just kitbash the characters needed for the army.
But it’s all just in my head for now anyways. Maybe I’ll find some proper classical stuff until I can actually get around to do this.
Edit: Almost forgot about the Land Raider. Bit being a child of 4e I vastly prefer the current design to be honest.
