Ive got block mania and mega mania. Will try and dig them out soon for piccies.
Awesome fun before GW went all corporate. Those days were ground breaking and sorely missed.

This might take people back a bit.... Before BFG there was Space Fleet. One of a range designed for younger gamers, they released expanded rules and fleets in WD. It was quite possibly my most favourite game yet produced, due to a cunning mechanic of simultaneous movement whilst hiding your manoeuvre cards.



LR - Iyanden Shadowhunter Destroyer, Imperial Gothic Battleship, Chaos Dominator Battleship, and Tyranid Hiveship.

@Gotthammer How good was the Horus Heresy board game? There's a copy in my FLGS and I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger on it.

The original or the Fantasy Flight one? I have fond memories of the original and its little White Dwarf buddy.
