ooh, I never am. Didnt I give it to you? I certainly dont have it anymore. I wish I did, but...Dave, you're the man with a copy of the Warhammer 40,000 Compilation
I really liked the old Mk8 mini, but I havent seen any recognisably Mk8 marines since that one Jes Goodwin did many moons ago as part of the run of one-of-each-mark set they did.
As for 30k being shiny and all that, it wasnt really, i reckon. It was still a galaxy at war, it was just a galaxy at war for non-religious reasons. It was all still pretty industrial by the sounds of it. The descriptions of any spaceships come across as being terribly terribly gothic. All crenelations and lance batteries and whatnot.
