I really enjoyed the IG from 1st ed! A rigid command
structure, lots of poorly equipped men who died in
droves, and none of this Legion of Steel nonsense. It
was almost as much fun as using Gretchin to clear a
minefield!

Did you see how much fluff and background the Orks
lost when 2nd ed was introduced? They had THREE BOOKS
of their own under 1st ed rules. In 2nd ed they still
had the clans, but a lot of the flavour had been lost.
In 3rd ed... well, it's a different game altogether.
And the whole Ork history now fits on two pages :(

Please let us know if you find something better, I
would also be very interested in an alternative to
40K. I like GW's background, but their game rules
suck.
