I found this old advert, and all I can say is......WOW. Pew Pew Pew Bolters!

No, 40K was never like that. That ad is for the Milton Bradley Space Crusade game. Hence the big 'Space Crusade' splash at the start, and the shots of the boardgame
SPACE CRUSADE! Definitely not Warhammer 40k rip off, nooooooooooooope! That's not a space marine, it's a space crusader! SPACE CRUSADE! That's not a genestealer, that's a spacestealer or genecrusader. SPACE CRUSADE! Chaos space crusaders worship the four choas deities: Weet, Flaanesh, Turgle and Meentch. Organs for the organ deity! Ribs for the rib chair! SPACE CRUSADE!

Hey now those flip down helmets were pretty badass, as well as the Las-bolters.

But yeah, keep in mind that was the 80s/90s, and peope weren't yet into the SRSBSNS GRIMDARK as they are now. The setting itself didn't change so much in terms of tone and style, but I think back then people used to grin about it instead of raging on the internets. Back when 40k started, it was like many movies of its time - cool/awesome, but not "epic" or even meant to be taken seriously. Like ... Mad Max. Coincidentally, GW actually did release some sort of car battle game, too.

Oh, they did do a number of short movies, actually.

Correction : And that is why GWno longer makes ads or short films. Except for Ultramarines, which was a bit crap. I mean, wtf? PA made out of tissue paper?

Given 41st millennium firepower, power armour - at least in GW's version of the setting - really isn't as "invincible" as I sometimes think a lot of people would prefer.
Not that this would make the Ultramarines movie any better.

Yeah, but against bolters? I would imagine the CSM to take several hits before going down. It was like 1 shot 1 kill.
