All the talk of a RT style battle got me feeling nostalgic.

Here is the first WD I ever bought, back in the day when it was more (a lot more) than a glorified catalogue;

Have a look through the database and post up yours if you can remember

blimey. Its hard to say, actually, as me and my mates passed around WDs quite a lot, so there were copies I clearly remember having on my shelves that may or may not have been mine, and indeed, could have been bought before I got into it. That said, I can definitively say I owned this un:

and can remember handling ones as far back as this:

Blimey. The Good Old Days, and then some...

I remember the DA one but never had the BA one.

I don't remember the number, but I remember it was 2nd edition and it introduced the bunker missions and had a space wolf vs eldar battle report.

I definitely had this one:

I remember the Wayne England cover and the article about painting Imperial Guard. I might have had issue 108 with the Blood Bowl Star Players - I remember them, and wasn't buying anything BB-related at that time.

This was the first one I bought, but I got some back issues from friends so I recognise a lot of the older covers. http://www.gamehobby.net/white_dwarf_ma ... f_128.html
I actually have a lot of the older (circa 1980s) magazines on my hard drive. To be honest, most of them aren't worth reading until WFB and Rogue Trader were introduced.

I don't remember the numbers, but I had a few of them back in the 80's when it was a general RPG magazine, not dedicated to GW games. Mostly I remember Thrud the Barbarian. Makes me feel old...

My earliest issue was #18, thanks to a generous back issue supply at the local flea market

It had a crap Star Trek stock image for a cover. #19 was much better

But I think my first might have been #56, which had the sci-fi CoC adventure "The Last Log".

Sorry, when you get to be my age you start to ramble a bit.
