Amazing what you find in the attic – we were just clearing it out for the first time in about 15 years, and I came across an old Space Marine box. Not sure which edition it is, but the rulebook is dated 1991. I was half hoping I'd stumble across BloodBowl too, but I guess that's long gone unfortunately. Also discovered my Sega 32X, but since I don't have a working megadrive anymore, there's no way to test it (otherwise it'd be going straight onto eBay). |

Sounds like 2nd edition from the date. That's the version that NetEpic is based on. Good find!  |

Ahh, thanks! Once I've re-read the rules, I'll have to try and organise a game … |

What's the cover art on it? Dark Angels was 1st edition, Ultramarines was 2nd ( picture ). |

Man, now I wish I hadn't sold the one I won in the contest waaaaay back in the day when it first came out! *sighs* |

Yep, it's the Ultramarines cover. It always pays to hoard stuff, MahanMan ;) |

Is it all in there? IIRC, you got some SPace Marines with Rhinos and Land Raiders, some Orks with battlewagons and Eldar with Falcon grav-tanks, plus a 'beetle' Warlord titan |

I had a proper look through last night, and it seems like everything's in there – buildings, counters, dice, Orks, Space Marines and Eldar. Even somewhat inexplicably the ball scatter templates from BloodBowl (still hoping it's up there somewhere). No Titan though, just the head and a few weapons unfortunately. |
