Came home from the US to visit parents and couldn't resist a exploration in the attic. Been there for ~20 years, pretty decent condition too. Don't think it will all fit in my suitcase, might get it shipped over. Excited to get a titan battle in!

Probably not - but proving it and taking it through the courts is a long procedure that most people just won't care to do.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

If all that was at your mom's attic, maybe some friends of hers' attics will have treasures as well (you know, players need gaming mates). Dungeons & Dragons turn to Attics & Aunts!

What's Advanced Space Crusade?

Also, is the Deathwing thing the expansion to Space Hulk?

If anyone wants to describe each of those, that would be cool. I know what the 1st ed Spreens are but that's about it.

Deathwing was the first expansion to 1st Ed Space Hulk, yes. It came with another 5 Termies and 10 'Stealers I think, plus some new board pieces and rules for the Deathwing, a Deathwing campaign and so on. The other expansion was Genestealer, which had Librarians, Genestealer Hybrids and way cooler additional tiles. They got for a fething mint on eBay these days.

Advanced Space Crusade is, as far as I know, what I have come to know as Tyranid Attack. Rather than Terminators going through a hulk it's Marine Scouts moving through a Tyranid Hive Ship taking out vital organs. Has Scouts, Terminators, Genestealers, Tyranid Warriors (the original plastic ones), Hybrids and a Librarian. I'm not sure if there are any differences begtween Advanced Space Crusade and Tyranid Attack, as I think TA was just a reboxing/rebranding of ASC. I could be wrong, so the OP can feel free to correct me.

Scouts in a tyranid hive ship sounds like a wild setting.
