So this has been on my hit list for a long time and finally snagged an unused copy, and I am pretty excited about it. It predates 40K 2nd edition I think.

An interesting note to the game is that the game centers around scout squads (although this can be changed), and there are a couple of random events that allow for a captured Terminator or a Terminator Librarian to join the teams, and the descriptions deliberately describe them as being from the Scythes of the Emperor chapter, which surprised me as around this time the Big Four were kind of getting established and you might think they would have used the Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, and Space Wolves instead. I have never considered ever painting a Scythe of the Emperor marine but this set has given me the excuse to. And I have only found one image of what Scythes of the Emperor Terminators looked like.
Anyways, paid an arm and a leg for it, so can’t say run out and get it, but if you are on the fence I say go for it. It’s a complete old school game in a box.
