stumbled upon the archives of the old GW website for the battle for macragge.
Such a fun scenario that was to play

Ah, I remember having that set as a wee lad. I remember it being so much fun to paint and build.

Honestly, I wish I had the terrain.

"There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose that functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bioengineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey."

They used to sell the aquila crashed ship as a scenery set, wonder if they still do.

Some of the old archived GW pages were great.

Yeah, too bad they completely wiped all of the data when they made the new site.
They should have kept an archive section because there were so many great articles.

LOL! The box set was $45?! Many a single miniature is far more than that these days.

Man, I still got all the terrain for that. And the book, though it was badly damaged by an exploding cucumber. (It's... hard to explain)
2007 doesn't seem that long ago. I'm getting old.

Quite weird to watch people be nostalgic for something that came out years after I stopped playing the first time round...

FudgeDumper - It could be that you are just so uncomfortable with the idea of your chapters primarch having his way with a docile tyranid spore cyst, that you must deny they have any feelings at all. |

My club has no fewer than 5 sets of those wrecks. They get used maybe once every couple of years. They crop up fairly often in second hand circles around here - around $10-15 a set.

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

I still have the box and the Marines. I also still have and use the terrain in my battles.
The pilot chap that came with the game is sometimes used as a VIP for a scenario every now and then too.
I gave the Stealers and Gaunts to my mates brother as he is a Nid player and sometimes pops over mine for a game.

A friend of mine was a GW manager. When he quit he gave me like... 4 or 5 of the terrain sets. Never used them, sitting in a box if anyone wants them.

An entire box set for $45? A box of Tactical Marines is more expensive than that!

Peregrine - If you like the army buy it, and don't worry about what one random person on the internet thinks.

If you want nostalgia, this is the first ever box of models I bought.
