    Absolutely loved this video. 40K has been a huge part of my life since 2nd edition and I appreciate this trip down memory lane. I would love something similar to this but with factions and how their rules changed throughout the years (might be a bit of an undertaking but if there is anyone that can get it done, I know it’s you bosses).

  • @theprussianmink
    @theprussianmink ปีที่แล้ว +8

    It's good that the game is less complicated today, but I still think firing arcs from weapons attached to vehicles is a good idea, It's very strange that I can place my tank behind a building and shoot things out of its rear end.

  • @cuniving7831

    Allowing exhaust pipes, banners and barrels to allow a model to be targeted was such a fucking massive step back I still cant really believe it happened.

    Great video! As only came into 40K in 9th it’s always fun to learn about past editions. Perhaps you could do a review of each boxes in terms of the models/content and theme of them? And give some views on what would be good in the future.

  • @rononel8046
    @rononel8046 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    When you say 'Overwatch was introduced in 6th'
    don't you mean
    'Overwatch was REintroduced in 6th & it was now applied on the charge instead of being declared in your own turn to prevent or funnel enemy movement, like it was in 2nd'

  • @derekball3965
    @derekball3965 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @NavyDood21
    @NavyDood21 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is really cool. I never realized that the first edition was essentially a scaled up D&D combat and focused on smaller battles. It makes a lot of sense that it didnt start out with such big battles in mind.

  • @DaSkwire
    @DaSkwire ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you so much for this vid. I've played every version and consequently suffer from "edition-bleed" for the rules. Great to have a vid that helps separate them again in my mind.

  • @Gooch359
    @Gooch359 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is great! I was out of the game from 3rd till 9th so its great to see how each eddition was in the time I missed. What would be cool is an individual video on each eddition, delving deeper in to the rules and maybe following each editions video with a battle report (I understand just how much work that would entail but a guy can dream 😅)

  • @Binngoo-nc3xs
    @Binngoo-nc3xs ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Fantastic video, please do more like it.
    I had not realised that edition changes had been quite so regular for so long. And despite 8th and 10th being overhauls they are not as out of character as I thought.

  • @KevinvL

    Remember the rogue trader days, played through to 3rd and started up again in late 5th, stopped in 7th and switched to 30k, now getting back to 40k in 10th

  • @malmo7928
    @malmo7928 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you, enjoyed that. Played Rogue trader through to 8th, so apart from being old enough to know better, that was an entertaining journey through different times of my life. More nostalgia flashbacks please.

  • @Richard-ri4yq
    @Richard-ri4yq ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video Mike! Having played 3rd, 4th, 6th-10th and recently 2nd it was nice to have an overview of them all like that, back to back, nice job 🙂

  • @Thoth_7
    @Thoth_7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fantastic video. I played heavy from 2nd through 4th, then got interested again through Kill Team near the end of 9th, and jumped back in full-force with the launch of 10th. It is an absolute delight to see both what I loved (and didn't love so much) about editions, as well as get a good overview of the editions I missed, and how the game evolved over time.
    A series dedicated to even more in-depth looks at previous editions would be absolutely brilliant... and with the quality and passion I've come to expect from Tabletop Tactics, would probably be held in great regard for years - if not decades - to come as a definitive history of the game.

    Brilliant video Chef (and Beard)! Really appreciate the detail and effort. Great job, very informative, and much appreciated! I started in 2nd Edition but the dramatic change to 3rd actually stopped me playing for a couple of editions due to the perceived ‘dumbing’ down (it felt like the life and rich detail got sucked from the game to me)…Then we had the ‘dark days’ of GW’s draconian anti-customer/player era for the middle editions and I didn’t actually start collecting again until 8th Edition (albeit having studied and observed every edition) when GW Community actually reached out to players again… It’s been an interesting ride! 😅

  • @LeviticusStroud

    As a side note...
    In 2ED the sustained fire dice was specified as having the sides of 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, & Jam.
    However, when asked at a Q&A as to why the average roll for a sustained dice was so low Gav Thorpe- in claiming the average was 2- accidentally revealed that GW staff at WHW were accidentally using a different version of Sustained Fire die to the rest of the UK! There's had two 3s, and only a single 1.
    Meanwhile, some gamers from the continent (Italy I think) brought out the dice that they had gotten in their box sets (with matching numbers in the translated rule book I believe) which had a single 2 and three 1s.
    The look of realisation on Gav's face, who had just hinted at the coming 3rd Edition, looked to me to indicate he had a whole lot of writing to do asap for some things scheduled to head to the printer's soon!
    I believe this is why so many of the Index weapon profiles said things like 'as a Bolter, except...' or similar- a massively rushed deadline after the realisation that every reference to sustained fire had to be stripped out.

  • @Captroop

    Great video! I'd also like to see a history of the armies over time. I have tried to introduce when certain armies, subfactions or characters were introduced, but it's almost impossible as most articles on the "history" of Warhammer 40k are about the lore history.

  • @hellospringlake
    @hellospringlake ปีที่แล้ว

    Absolutely fantastic video Chef and Beard!
    Having recently perused my copy of Cities of Death (2006) I couldn't help but notice how the charts in that book are calling 3 ruins claustrophobic and a reasonable number of terrain pieces to use in a game, and how that have changed radically when looking at 9th/10th, maybe a deep dive on just how the terrain and boards of 40k have changed over the years would make for an interesting deep dive? Especially with the brief highlights in this video on how line of sight and cover (with screening) have changed over the years?

  • @AstraRandom

    Great in-depth video, having played 3rd & 4th it was good to look back. Then having a break until 9th and still playing in 10th it’s interesting to see what I missed. Would of been good to have had small details of when certain armies came out in the editions as well throughout.

Fantastic presentation and sexy B-roll to boot, what's not to love?

    Fantastic video! Well done! I play a lot of necromunda and it's nice to learn how willpower, cool etc. Are adopted from 1st edition, which something I didn't know. 2nd is my preferred 40k, I really like it, especially hand to hand, which is easy once you know how. I think the hand to hand experience is similar to modern kill team.

  • @rainerhorbach955
    @rainerhorbach955 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Brilliant summary! I started the hobby shortly after 2nd was released and it dominated my teen years. I was appalled by 3rd, never played it and gave up the hobby. I tried to restart in 8th, shortly before 9th, but am only finishing my army (GSC) now to start in 10th hopefully. My rules memory of 2nd is still quite fresh, so there will be quite a leap from 2nd to 10th. Looking forwar to tho!

    Excellent video both in terms of content and in the quality of the editing. I'd very interessted in a sort of post "mortem" regarding what previous edition were trying to achieve, failing or succeeding ( not in terms of mechanic but in terms of game design, whats feelings they generated that sort of things). And obviously the same video but applied to the old world would be extremly cool ( but i guess not the target audience)

    7th edition using standard force organization chart instead of formations and supplement cheese and saying no to malefic daemonology summoning and you were in the golden age of 40k.
    Basically 6th but without flyers jinking at no penalty and with updated codexes instead of leftovers from 5th.

    All editions have had their great concept but also issues. Nowadays often wrapped up in a cozy cloud of nostalgia. 😅
    For what it’s worth I actually believe 10th edition rules is the best version yet. Initial balance issues? Sure. But the game it self is better than ever. Great gaming days ahead! 🎉

  • @TSINIproductions
    @TSINIproductions ปีที่แล้ว

    Watching the 3rd edition recap really reminds me why 40K feels so long to play now compared to then. Units were mostly moving OR shooting, not both, which basically halves the interaction with models during the game, you’re either moving the models or rolling shooting dice. Now in the modern versions of the game you’re always moving models and rolling shooting attacks. I used to play lots of turns in 3rd Ed, even massive games would rock on past turn 6 just because the game was getting quicker as units died. These days it’s a struggle to get 5 turns in an evening, though 10th is a huge improvement compared to 9th in that regard.

    Very enjoyable! I was about 3 years into fantasy battle when rogue trader launched. Among my group of friends (all of us about 12 years old) marines were the "joke" option because they were plastic, not "proper" metal models. How times have changed 😂

    • @toferkrz946
      @toferkrz946 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I never got the elitism about metal models. It's simply an inferior material in terms of modelling ease and paintjob durability. Only thing it has going for it is the heft in your hand, which I can kinda get, but you can just glue washers under your base if you're so hung up about it...
      Then again, I never got the 'book smell' argument regarding ebook readers so what do I know...

    • @RedHatRuss
      @RedHatRuss ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@toferkrz946 true, but 30 plus years ago, plastic models were legitimately terrible... To be fair, met ones weren't much better lol. These days, I'd hate to have to work with metal, it's such a miserable material to work with. I don't even like designing minis for metal, I was glad when my work switched to plastic minis as the process is much nicer from an engineering pipeline.

    2nd edition is still my favourite and as many people have said I dropped off for a few editions with the launch of 3rd as I felt it took out all the stuff I enjoyed. Having fun with 10th and it’s a very different game not only in terms of the rules but also the sheer number of models on the battlefield. Remember in 2nd when you were lucky to have 3 squads of marines and maybe a couple of characters because the points costs where so much higher.
