So of course they no longer produce or support them. I played first, fourth and fifth edition WH40K and third and fifth edition WHFB so I know about the issues.<br /><br />The one thing I will admit is gradually there plastic models became world class kits. And they made the parts to give immense conversion possibilities. Just one example. My back story on my WHFB Ork army was a Savage Ork Shaman had got all the troops hooked on mushroom beer. I didn't like any of the metal models they made at the time (2002 or so) so I dived into the bits box and made one.

I always been interested in the world of 40k, and I played way back in 88-90. I mostly played Space Hulk, then moved to the computer games, so I never knew as much about the issues with the game. <br />I am very thankful for Galvars for penning this blogpost...I was overwhelmed by the vastness of the Imperium of Man military forces.<br />Thanks for the comment!

One of the (many) things I disliked about the system was that humanity had very few “Mecha” vehicles. I remember the Knights first coming out in “Titan Legions.” The idea behind the knights was not all that different from the Space Marines, but they had mecha. I was disappointed that the idea never really took off. Then a couple years later the Nemesis Dreadknight came out for the Grey Knights. I picked one up to see if I could convert it to the Imperial Knights. That proved to be difficult. If I were still playing 40K, I would be pleased that GW had FINALLY come out with the knights as an army. As it is I will probably pick up a few models. <br /><br />P.S. The “Forgotten Tech” bit is getting really old. Humanity can travel among the stars, but forgets how to create things. Some of the technologies that get lost were state of the art during the First World War. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036673794983466123noreply@blogger.com
