  • you're still annoyed that they changed macro cannon to quake cannon, and defence laser to volcano cannon
  • your space marine army is now fashionable again because of all the "pre-heresy" rhinos and land raiders
  • it's perfectly OK for Imperial Guardsmen to have jump packs.

Any others to add to the list?

Been "Epicing" since '90 ... GW has demonstarted a predilection for "Orwellian New Speak/Think" ... Things change based on the whims of those in charge at the time ... Sometimes feels like they are making it up as they go along ... :whistle

- You ask at what point do you reveal order counters?
- You set aside a weekend for one game.

Your guard have land raiders
Titans are adorned with banners and flags everywhere
Everything is painted in a riot of bright colors
Squats still exist :)

Lucky you Apoc! I was a teenager when it came out! On the plus side, I did manage to pick up Adeptus Titanicus for half price, that was £10 back in the day!

I was 1. But I was very cynical for my age.
