Title: Old WD missions and board sections
Post by: zedmeister on September 14, 2009, 04:52:38 PM
With people scrambling for new missions, just thought it might be a useful resource to post a list of older WDs that had missions and new board sections in that can be reused.

1st Edition extra missions:
Many of these were reproduced in Space Hulk Campaigns

WD 114 - has the pitfall mission which is covered in 3rd edition
WD 115 - Had bulkhead counters and psi-point counters which weren't ever reprinted in spacehulk campaigns - may be useful
WD 120 - Denzarks Hammer mission and rules for power armoured marines - mission uses the basic tiles so should be fairly straightforward to adapt
WD 121 and WD 122 - traitor marine rules - used a lot of board sections from deathwing and genestealer
WD 133 and WD 135 - new campaign - used a lot of board sections from genestealer
WD 137 - new campaign - the last stand - used a lot of board sections from genestealer
WD 138 - new campaign - Necromunda - used a lot of board sections from genestealer
WD 142 and WD 144 - FAQs - definatly useful. Some of the rules interpretation could be reused for the current version (especially the bit about overwatch and pitfalls)
WD 147 - Wolf Lair campaign - used lots of stuff from genestealer but had a few extra board sections produced for it
WD 149 - Strike Deep campaign loads of new board sections and counters. Also, it used only board sections from deathwing plus a few extras from WD 147
WD 158 - Return to Kalidus. Uses space wolves and the basic box tiles. Probably an easy adaptation

Also I'd recommend the Citadel Journal 1 (for space hulk in the dark) and 2 (for Harlequin rules)

2nd Edition extra missions:
These should be easier to convert for the current version as both 2nd and 3rd editions have the same board sections:

WD 197 - Defilement of Honor - had the airducts missions and board sections
WD 199 - Bringer of Sorrow - had a load of new corridor and room sections
WD 200 - Fangs of Fenris - no new board sections, just rules for the Wolf Guard
WD 201 - Duty and Honour - 3 new missions and the gantry room (a bit like the 5x5 room from deathwing)
WD 203 - Fate of the Sword of Halcyon - just new 5 missions which were run as part of a shop campaign

Hope that's useful. Also, I've found several sites that have scans of the extra board sections - can I link too older Board Sections that were published in old WD's?

Great work!

Let's not put any links to scanned stuff at the moment as GW owns the IP to them and they have not given permission to post those.

I agree, thanks much for these.

But feel free to go ahead and open this thread on one of the other interweb forums and post those links you were talking about.

I was thinking of linking to Boardgamegeek that had old scans from white dwarf. These scanned pages had permission to copy for personal use notices...

Nice job, man! This will make it easier for me while going through my ginormous WD collection, and make it easier for people to try and collect them.
