White Dwarf 166 (October 1993) announced the release of the 2nd. Edition of Warhammer 40K. The previous issue stated that the game was over two years in the making. Will Power, Cool and Intelligence were dropped as stats and break tests were based on Leadership, in-line with Warhammer. Reserve move was taken out and replaced with a run move, again the same as Warhammer. As per the running changes made to Rogue Trader, Space Marines moved from T3 to T4, had their save boosted to 3+, were now able to shrug off their first Break test failure and could Rapid Fire!
The in-box Space Marines were designed by Jes Goodwin and the Gretchin/Orks by Kev Adams (per WD163).
