Above, you can see the Warhammer 40K: Armageddon display in our local Warhammer store. But one of the things in the photo is not like the others. Can you see it?

Here's a hint:

Got it, yet?

Yes, it's my original *Rogue Trader*\-era 1st edition copy from 1987, when I was 15\. This was the first edition of the game I bought – and the last. But, as our store was doing the [big pre-order promotion](https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/hjdxp86f/saturday-pre-orders-warhammer-40000-armageddon/?ref=adventurousdadanddaughters.com), I thought it would be fun to bring it in as part of the celebrations. 

Here it is in all its (battered) glory:

Now, the big question is: do I break my 39 year dry streak and buy a copy of Armageddon? 

(And then, presumably, wait until 2056 and but the 21st edition, too…)

## Blood for the Blood Angels

Out trip was our normal, mob-handed visit for the mini of the month, where I take youngest daughter and her friends along with us. We've missed a couple of months because of Easter and [my accident](https://onemanandhisblog.com/2026/04/a-personal-note/?ref=adventurousdadanddaughters.com). As well as the mini, they had the opportunity to do a guided painting of a Blood Angel. Here's what two 11 year olds managed…
