Old books:




There's a copy of Rogue Trader, the Compendium, the Compilation, Adeptus Titanicus, Codex Titanicus, Renegades from Space Marine and all the 1st ed Space Hulk books. Also the Compilation is signed by Jes:

Some old (and not so old) boxed games:



I've actually got a copy of Ultra Marines and two more Space Hulk 1st ed boxes in a cupboard as well.

Shelf of ye olde miniatures (most of these were painted 10-20 years ago):




Escher gang:




Beakies! Mostly RTB-01s bought back in the day:




They're Dark Angels which is why they're black. Well, slightly grey now due to the dust actually.

Old Harlies and some Aspect Warriors:




Snakebites 'n' squiggly beasts:

My mind is blown that there was a Rogue Trooper game.

Just grabbed some random books, but I made sure to include an oldie but goodie Nid in honor of the upcoming release!

Man, I'd forgotten about the Vehicle Manual... that thing was simultaneously awesome and terrible

[Bigred]

The PLASTIC TARGETING GRID!!!

I tell youngsters about it and they still don't believe!

Also Dark Future shoutout for Gott!

That DF box weights like 15 kilos due to all the card parts and being basically filled with hotwheels cars... >.<


And how could I forget the crown jewel of my collection:



(note: not a Black Library publication)




It's actually still one of the best 40k books even with (or perhaps because of) all the weirdness.

Gotthammer, those bring back so many memory's hehehe. I so agree about the old, old, OLD! vehicle rules. Don't worry BigRed, I'll be taking some old books with me this week so people can have some serious 'WT*!' moments, heh heh

A few more to enjoy...

My mind is blown that there was a Rogue Trooper game.

Indeed there was! I used to have that game many moons ago, I remember it being a lot of fun. I remember a lot of the GW crossover licenses they had, Doctor Who, 2000AD etc etc, and when a blister of 5 metal figures was less than 2 quid lol!

I can see i'm going to enjoy this thread!
