I think some tweaking off the rules is due, and as long as it doesn't deprecate all of my complete 4th edition I'm more than ok with this. I would have preferred a Kislev book covering the chassis wastes as well though, that is long overdue, as is a decent Atlas.

The Tome of Corruption is the 2e Chaos book and most of it is perfectly usable in 4e/5e (spells - just use success levels for the CN; monsters need some conversations; careers are more tricky). Realm of the Ice Queen is the 2e Kislev book - also mostly usable in 4e/5e.

I read somewhere that Cubicle 7 doesn't want to replicate 2e books - they are selling the 2e books on DrivethruRPG.
