Let's enjoy wargaming as a fun, social, laid-back hobby! Farseer Khaiell

I keep my Space Marine, Eldar or fantasy Empire banners mostly grim and serious.

As official sources at Games Workshop claim it has been exactly 30 years since the first Space Marine hit the stores. Catalogues published in the 90s and 00s claimed 1984 but its not important as every day is a good excuse to drink to the health of Imperial Space Marines!
