Gack ! WD #98 ? You sure go way back Aaron, way back.
Yeah, back then White Dwarf was good.
It had decent 'articles' not just glorified adverts.
I think my oldest is #51 but I threw a lot of them out (since the rules had
changed) but now really miss the good fluff which came with them. Here is a
test of memory ...
Who else remembers the Winter Camo scheme for the Blood Angels(I think)
from the compendium??? What about the Litany for firing a missile ??? How
many las cannons did the original Land Raider come with.
My favorite conversion from Rogue Trader ... A sergeants torso modelled
onto the bottom of a Dalek ... "Exterminate, Exterminate ..." He he he.
One of the best things about games workshop is the fluff. Unfortunately, I
know it better than some of their staff.
Scenario ... I walk into GW. One of the DayGlo abortions runs up to me and
hollers ... "Hey man, have you seen this stuff before?". I say "Yeah, I
bought Rogue Trader when it first came out and had a copy of WFB 2nd
edition". He runs off screaming.
This brings me to another point ... Why do they always address you as "Man"
in GW ???
Why do all the photos consist of 12 year olds screaming at the camera.
Why do you always find things you have lost behind the couch ???
And most importantly ... why am I at goddamn work on a f***ing Saturday
approaching 50hours of work this week. Goddamn software has still got bugs
in it (still, shouldn't complain, I put some of the bugs there, oops).
Chris.
