They're all on the unit cards now and that helps a lot. Mutl3y - we'd considered using the original forces but with only 15 Space Marines and Pedro, we thought it would be a pretty short game ;-) Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816655312205569168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-42142255103170431202017-09-02T18:36:41.842-05:002017-09-02T18:36:41.842-05:00Great write up and fantastic models.

Fancy I'll run this scenario using the RT rules and some mk 6s and space orks that'll sadly have to be eBay jobs. <br /><br />Why not give the scenario another bash using the original forces but with 8th rules? Would it play so badly?Mutl3yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419683399891728423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-88317423527284910272017-07-03T13:09:17.147-05:002017-07-03T13:09:17.147-05:00Interesting.

I mostly agree with your likes and dislikes, but overall really like the change to the new edition.JamieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206287212346614676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-23629560186064137232017-07-02T22:29:17.703-05:002017-07-02T22:29:17.703-05:00That was a super-fun game, and a perfect ending, w...That was a super-fun game, and a perfect ending, with hardly any survivors! There is something about these Orks vs Marines encounters set on Ryan's World that still fires the nostalgia, even all these later and using a different edition. Was also great to get the RT era figures on the tables. Greg Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090722688748673409noreply@blogger.com
