"Fight for the control of once lost star systems in this thrilling board game Forbidden Stars! Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, this strategy board game grants two to four players command of iconic factions, fighting for the planets and resources of the Herakon Cluster. Each of the game's four different factions offers a unique play style and range of units. Use these units to occupy unclaimed worlds, build armies, and dominate the Herakon Cluster. All the while, you must also negotiate the sector's shifting Warp Storms, which threaten to thwart even the best-laid plans.

Take up the roles of these epic factions, the Ultramarines from the Space Marines, Craftworld Iyanden Eldar of the Eldar, Evil Sunz Orks and World Eaters of the Chaos Space Marines. Each with unique Combat, Events and Upgrade cards, while moveable tiles allow every game to have a different scope and landscape every game.

Set includes over 140 sculpted plastic pieces and custom dice."

If the Eldar are Craftworld Iyanden I wonder why they included the Eldar *Corsair* battleship? Other than the fact that the original Corsair Eldar ships are much cooler looking than the later Craftworld ships. ;-)

How do the scale of these miniatures compare to BFG and Epic? Could these games be a source of OOP miniatures for die hard players of the se OOP games?
