I still prefer the original though. I think maybe one way to improve it would be to graft it onto the 5e core rules (you'd just have to make up 4 'classes', PSH, Mutant Human, Mutant Animal, and optionally Mutant Plant). I wouldn't really bother with 'races' as such, and GW never had any concept of anything like 4e classes.Now just drop the old 1e GW mutations and equipment right in on top, with minor tweaks to match up with 5e core rules (IE assign save types and whatnot to various items and effects). I think it would play pretty well. Characters would start out fairly fragile, but they'd also be starting with low-tech stuff (swords and whatnot). Graduate the game to crossbows and basic firearms after a few levels, and then fold in the increasingly deadly high tech items as the characters delve into the remains of the Apocalypse.</blockquote>
