This gameplay is the essence of Games Workshop. So much better than circles capturing circles. Imagine that, terrain and placement actually matter!

300 times more fun than the current game. Also Chris is a great wargamer - enthusiastic and easy going!

This is what epitomizes what I love about gaming, a close game and a game that tells a story. Narrative games is where it's at for me.

Ash’s rendition of “Oh Danny Boy” brought tears to my eyes!

What a great day of early 40k content. 😍👍 That Ork force is bursting with kookie character. The "Human Adviser" adds some great Cold War flavour to the Orks. It is nice to see the RTB01 Marines; they've got a really alert look to them, like they are looking for trouble. The proportions of the assault cannon on the Dreadnought is a lot of fun; I can almost hear it going "brAAAAAAAP!" The Grottz copying the Boyz is a fun rule; as is the "bunch o' squigs". Thanks for a great, fun video. This was a nicely sized game with plenty of daft action.

Nevermind the Imperial Space Marine and the Space Orks, what about that Ambull?! A fun to watch video battle report!

rogue trader lichen scenery warms my heart more than second edition spikey cactus.

Great stuff - interesting to see the evolution from Rogue Trader to this - I never played these updated rules but it's still seems similar to how we played Rogue Trader after our model count increased up until we stopped playing in about 1990. I like the streamlining that these v1.5 rules brought in from what your game showed - it seems to have done this without removing the silliness which I always loved. Terrain and placement actually means something on an individual figure level in these games, yeah there's more to keep track of but it brings extra depth to proceedings. Oh, and man, it's so cool to see you both enjoying yourselves playing with wonderfully painted minis! I've got a feeling your 2nd edition battle reports will still be fun but will be getting further away from what I liked most about the original rules.

"He's ballistic skill bananas" made me literally lol.

Love those old models.

So glad to see this revisit of old 40k.massive nostalgia trip.

Oh man...that’s awesome. (Squig bomb) I feel like you need to make a template with those period squigs.

I’m just stunned that a goblin killed something it shot at … Edit: that whole fight with the boss charging the priest and the results felt very much like a scene from Mad Max.

I can't even begin to describe the joy I felt watching this. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

I love it, nothing like old school-hammer!!!👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

Thoroughly enjoyed these RT games, decades on and those miniatures still look good.

It looks like Rogue Trader was a toolkit for narrative skirmish gameplay, and it looks like one could use the rules to run various tech level games. It might be interesting to see a game with something similar to to Judge Dredd, or maybe Predator.

Judge Dredd wasa massive influence on Rogue Trader and you can see it in the art (also GW did a Judge Dredd game). There's even Adeptus Arbitres, which are basically the Imperium's version of the Judges. There was also a lot of Dune in there. The original Genestealer was an Alien ripoff. For a Predator style scenario you could have a spacemarine squad led by a champion hunting downs some insurgent humans and then have a Slann or tyranid major hero armed with lots of the more esoteric gear in the equipment lists... I think playing 40k versions of 80's action movies is very much the spirit of that game.

This is why I love this channel

Thanks for making this video, this is pure awesomesauce. I started with the Battle Manual and this size of game IS 40k for me and it's something I think I've been trying to recapture ever since.

This has been amazing but you gotta make a bid just showing off these beautiful minis! I need a better look at them. I love the old school sculpts.

A "human advisor" is a strange way to say mobile punching bag.

I won a copy of the RT rulebook, but have never played it. But I have played *2e* and really enjoyed it a lot, it's probably my favorite edition of 40k. This "1.5 version" seems pretty fun, I love the more gonzo nature of RT (thru 2e). Those old models are great, and that "new old dreadnought" is fantastic!

I loved watching this. It brought back a heap of memories.

HI Ash, it's great to see more old games being played and I am rather jealous of those minis. I'm on a 40k 2nd Edition bender at the moment, loving converting stuff across to it. I also bought some illicit neoprene prints of the OG Warhammer Quest tiles, I have them all on card anyway but I gotta say the cloth ones are gorgeous! Keep up the great content 👍

I loved the old Beetle-face space marines and old style missile launchers. There was a big variety on the ways you could assemble them too.

Nice one! I really miss the times when Wh40k was still a fun game and not the competitive arena that is nowadays...

yeah, well... i was referring more to the Core ruleset. The competitive mentality of current Warhammer (lots of dice, lots of dice repetitions, probabilities of success -or kill- above 80%'s...) belongs to the competitive scene: they, without being That Guy, don't like randomness in the game, and GW keeps removing it, either by getting rid of some of the best rules (e.g. animosity), or by including ways in which you can offset randomness (tons of dice, re-rolls), that make unit performances more reliable, but at the same time make the game more plain, simple and grey...

@johnmiddleton4291

@@rquer7913 A lot of that is on how you build your army and what options you choose to include. If you don't paly competitively, you don't have to do that and the game mostly drops back to way it's been for years. Also, play smaller games like Incursion size max. Making the games smaller, makes then shorter, and much more fun to play. Higher probabilites isn't just competitive gaming, it's all gaming. People don't like to roll blanks on dice, so to speak. You see it in most modern rpgs and lots of boardgames.

I feel like if I were to play this, I would've house ruled that overheat result for the Dreadnought to get a +1 to the roll for every turn he spends venting. Having your vehicle taken out turn 1 with basically no chance to get it back is a bummer.

Ace paint job on dem beakies!

#make40kweirdagain!

So very cool.

Rewatching this battle report, I noticed that the Human Adviser is Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Cluseau? What strange shenanigans are afoot?

Gretchin see, gretchin do.

That new model dread was not designed with 30year old ork lascannon tech in mind.

Amazing! I always wonder if the "complexity" of earlier games is something that is easier to grasp as we grow older seeing as over the years gamers have gained more and more knowledge how to play games and can even get help via the internet. How long did the game take to record/look up rules?

@GuerrillaMiniatureGames

Not long; but Chris and I both played plenty of this game so once we remembered the turn structure it mostly and down to checking weapon stats.

Top stuff. Love to see RT on the table.

From Rogue Trader to 3rd edition 40k was the golden age for my 40k hobbying. I plan on going back with the Horus Heresy miniatures as they get released. I tried to get back in to 40k with the current edition...just wasn't my cup of tea.

Ok, never mind. Commented in my excitement...Ash beat me to it. 😀

This was great, thanks a lot for doing it!

Loving these rogue trader videos also where did you get that truck.

Feedin the algorithm. Keep up the great work! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤩

just feels so good, weekly too much to ask, but can we get at least a monthly RT game? bimonthly?

Thank you for this great video. I really appreciate that. I'm a wh40k player since 2nd edition, never played this 1st edition, and I'm positively delighted by it. I like the narrative feeling of this game, with "human advisor" for the ork(maybe a chaos advisor, a dark angel fallen advisor who knows?) and so on... i like 9th but it's a completely different way of enjoying 40k universe...like horus heresy with 7th ruleset is different than 9th...i like all of them but for different reasons.

More games like these pls Vehicle rules are fun too

Rogue Trader days!!!!

super hype for this :)

The complexity and nice crazyness which is the Oldhammer 40k is just so refressing... I really need to get to back Old 40k...

Looking forward to some Warhammer Quest: Lost relics review and games sometime soon...

Nifty keen!

I am very tempted to pay the near $200 bucks for this ruleset. This is so much more fun, it seems.

I hope you scored a copy from the Print to Order offer back in November '23. I got mine, finally, last month and it's a great old book. Now I'm building up some forces to play some RThammer with the lads at the club and having a blast. Even found the supplements in pdf that I'll have printed to go with it.

I believe that came about in the yellow Battle Manual, along with the bump up to toughness 4.

Watching this for a second time and seeing the dreadnought reminded me; did you ever use the AI rules printed in WD? I can't remember if they ever made it to the likes of Astronomicon etc or if they got mothballed (though I could see why), but making your own logic rules for robots was a lot of fun, even if it made your brain melt.

Did you source those Space Marine scouts from Tyranid Attack? I've tossed a bunch of old games and books but for whatever reason held on to that game.
