Idea For Baby Souvenir

then, second edition

My first contact with the world of Warhammer was the second edition of it. Under the cover of the box is 1984 but first announced in No. 61 of the magazine White Dwarf January 1985. I bought it many years ago in a now defunct store in Oxford Street was the Virgin brand.

were treslibros that were in English but was very easy to understand. It was the evolution of the first edition of the same that he had added the changes that were to appear in the magazine White Dwarf and the Citadel Compendium (until that time there were two).
The cardboard box (not like today to sneeze and break) and hold them in good books contained three rules:
  • Combat: was the kernel the rules with the phases of each shift.
  • Battle Magic: were the rules for wizards up to level 4 (highest level has been applied to time) and included as new as new specialties were Illusionists, Demonologists and Elementalists.
  • Battle Bestiary that a description of the ra different races and monsters (similar to the bestiary of Dungeons & Dragon) but a small example of ejécito lists.
was the first time he appeared a map of "known world" with Slann Warhammer, Chaos, etc.

In the centerfold of a scenario appears Battle Bestiary "The Magnificent Sven" (I must admit that I never played) in which intervening dwarves, amazons and Slann. This was a game of figures and yet at the time at GW did not seem bad at the "papelhammer." Inside the box I saw a piece of cardboard characters for the game (had to photocopy blank silhouettes and painting.) I have it intact.
Finally, in the case included a summary sheet with the tables of combat, etc.
this edition appeared in several campaigns:

  • Bloodbath at Orcs' Drift in August 1985 (White Dwarf # 68)
  • Terror of the Lichemaster in January 1986 (White Dwarf # 73 )
  • Tragedy of McDeath in April 1986 (White Dwarf número76)

appeared in May 1987 the first supplement to the rules: Ravening Hordes of people I talked about earlier.
