[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9734749, member: 18"] See lol! 3E established the Necrons, T'au and Drukhari, so that does matter, but it also de-established a bunch of stuff, much of which has since been re-established. The biggest lore changes which weren't just introducing those three races were actually much later, with the whole Primaris thing profoundly reworking by far the most popular faction in the game. The Sisters of Battle are 2E even, and I think de-perv-ified in like 6E or 7E? But I couldn't swear to it. It was after 3/4/5E though, pretty sure. I think if you go back and really look a 2E 40K from 1990 to 1998, read the White Dwarfs, read the lore in everything to Adeptus Titanicus to Battlefleet Gothic*, you will find like 90% of everything that's like major lore, and isn't Primaris or later (or relating to the three new races above, all of three of whom are kind of "lesser" - Necrons the least lesser as it were, which is funny because in 1998 I fully expected them to get basically Squat'd within a decade! Their lore did get changed drastically at one point, but I forget which edition - it's definitely one of the ones after 3E, but I'm not sure if it's 5, 6, or 7 or even 8), is established there. Oh Horus Heresy absolutely changed a ton of lore too, but that's outside the scope of this because it's none of the editions. * = Not demanding you do this, I only did it because I was a teenager and had a lot of time on my hands and loved 40K lol.
