I was involved in Warhammer 40K in the Rogue
Trader and 2nd edition era. My primary army is Squats, but I also
have a Tyranid force and a Genestealer Cult army. We still play
the 2nd edition rules. I refuse to move on since 2 out of my 3
armies have been obliterated by Games Workshop. Below is a mix of
some old rules stuff that is still fun to use.
Warhammer 40K 2nd. ed. Army Builder files: WH40Kv1.zip
These files are fairly complete for 2nd.
ed.
They include information from the Black Codex, White Dwarf, and
Inquisitor.
Huron Blackheart's list, some titans and super heavies still need to be
added.

For the Orkies, below are four pages from the WH40K Vehicle Manual containing the construction methods used to make the Gobsmasha. They are scanned as 150dpi black and white photos in the jpeg format. The file is 2.8MB.

In addition, the Vehicle Manual datafax for the Gobsmasha is scanned as a 300dpi black and white drawing in GIF format. A hit location chart needs to be made since the template system was used to allocate hits (310KB).
