Warhammer 40,000 2nd Edition Campaign Battle Report

MIDDLEHAMMER/OLDHAMMER NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!

In this video, Ed plays through the first mission from 'The Battle for Armageddon', the campaign booklet that came inside the venerable second edition Warhammer 40,000 starter set released in 1993. Upon the multicoloured sands of Armageddon, a fire team of Blood Angels faces off against three mobs of Gretchin! Will the marines drive off the Greenskins threatening the security of the bridgehead, or will the Gretchin use their alien cunning to lay the Sons of Sanguinus low?

Here's another slice of Oldhammer for you: the second mission from 'The Battle for Armageddon' campaign booklet straight out of the 1993 starter set! A combat squad of Blood Angel devastators have taken up the high ground overlooking the road leading to the vital bridge over the Skeletus River. After two Ork battlewagons were totalled by the Bood Angels' missile launcher, the surviving Goffs head out on foot, intent on neutralising the weapon before "da big push" begins!

It's time for the third and final mission from the Battle for Armageddon scenario set found in the 2nd Edition boxed game. This classic scenario enabled players to use all the miniatures in the box - all four squads of Blood Angel Space Marines, forty grots, twenty Goffs and the legendary Ork dreadnought (don't worry, it's not a card one!). We also decided to throw Captain Tycho and an Ork Warboss into the mix, just to keep things interesting!
