How Ravenwing Models Looked In the 1990’s

By Rob Baer | December 19th, 2017 | Categories: 40k Flashback, Dark Angels, Warhammer 40k

Spoiler alert, the Ravenwing models we have now don’t look much different from 25 years ago. Come see the old school Ravenwing Attack Force from the 1990’s.

Hey Hobby Maniac’s! Today we’re going over the Ravenwing Attack Force and unlocking the secrets that, well, aren’t really all that secret but it’s fun to look at!

You’ll notice the bikes haven’t changed much either. Of course you don’t have the pewter bits like the knife and the plasma gun, but you do have more cooler plastic accessories to convert up your bits with.

You’ll also notice “Veteran Sergeant Sammael”.  Dude, congrats on the promotion. Looks like you bought a new bike with that pay raise.

Second Edition was hyper complicated but it was still easier than the rogue trader days. There were so many rules it would take an afternoon to play a small game, we weren’t any where near the model count we’re at today. Smoke Grenades scattered and little bits went here and there. It was crazy.

Notice the perforations. You could cut these out and glue them together. Presto, instant game aides. This could be the reason I preach about game aides i guess. 2nd edition 40k had some great stuff that is for sure!
