Necrons didn't exist at all back then. Even in the UK version, these were Chaos Androids. This was because they had already appeared, in almost the exact same pose, in an Epic box release previously as Chaos Androids. It wasn't until later that GW would pick them out, make them a separate race and create a full background and mini range for them.

@Black Dragon This was all before the Ad Mech had been expanded to a full force in 40K. At the time, they were characters in other 40K armies. The androids were robot bodies, that Chaos cultists summoned daemons to posses. They appeared in an Epic boxed set of robots and Stompas.
@Bluecho4 3 жыл бұрын
@@CyberSammael As an aside, androids possessed by Chaos is pretty rad, and is a concept that should be revived by modern 40K. At least in the form of a few models that can be added to a standard Chaos army. (Admittedly, the lack of blood or carnal pleasure or ability to be affected by disease means most of the Chaos Gods would have little foothold in a robot body. But I think Tzeentch demons would feel right at home.)

1993, I was 5 years old and my uncle let me play with his copy of Starquest. That cover was burned into my mind so well that I made drawings of it in school without even having a clue what a 'space marine' was. Eventually my parents got me my own copy of the game when I was a bit older (which is still the pride of my collection) and I played it in high school with my friends for days on end. It's what got me into wargaming as a kid and teenager and I still love it to death!

I own this game (here in Italy it was named Star Quest) since I was a kid, back in the early 90s. I love it and, with great pain, I have managed to acquire also the two expansions, both in Italian as well. It was thank to this game and the concept of "space marines fighting different aliens and evil guys in space" that I fell in love with 40k in the early 2000s, when I first realized (thanks to some friends) that there was a bigger game behind that concept. Needless to say, I have been playing with Ultramarines ever since (just a couple of matches with Space Wolves and Blood Angels to feel what it was like to play with them), because when playing Star Quest they were my favourite chapter ^^. Thanks for this video ^^.

I remember running into one of the Space Crusade boxes as a kid, one of the early days of December 1990, I was 6 years old. It was that time of the year for us to give my parents ideas for some of the Christmas presents we would like to have under the Christmas tree. I remember sitting down in the Toys alley with the box on my laps checking out the box content and finding it super cool (I was also very much into video games back then so this was just awesome to me). At some point my parents came back to me and I told them how awesome this was, and that this is everything I wanted. My dad looked at it, and had a pretty positive feedback (after all, he was also the one who introduced me to computers and video games). Unfortunately... the box was already open and they convinced me that something could be missing. That was also the only box the supermarket had available. Since the place was very busy, everyone rushing through alleys, kids everywhere, we didn't want to bother the supermarket staff into checking if everything was in there and decided to leave without the box. I remember it like it was yesterday, I think I'll never forget that moment... Fast forward 7 years, 13 years old me enters one of our only local toy shops and find out the store has a new range of products available, Warhammer miniatures! That day, I decided that it was finally time to make up for my missed opportunity, and left the store with a 1997 Edition of the GW Paint Set: 9 paints, 5 marines (incl. 1 sgt) and 2 brushes. And so began my adventure into the Warhammer hobby...

The German version doesn't even have Space Marines. They are the Galaxy Safe Guard, or GSG, which are responsible for the highest possible level of non violence. Hence the Zero Time Canon (Minigun) , the Black Hole Blaster (plasma? ) and the Holo Thrower (rocket launcher). The Blood Angels got translated to GSG Tiger, etc.

Space Marines - GSG / Galaxy Safe Guard Blood Angels - GSG Tiger Ultramarines - GSG 19 Imperial Fists - GSG Musketeers Enemies are all called Chaos Robotlings, mean machine monsters from the warp. Bolter - Power-Laser Rocket Launcher - Holo Thrower (creates holographic areas around the robotlings to confuse them) Minigun - Zero Time Canon (slows enemies down) Plasma Gun - Black Hole Blaster (They didn't even use a German name for this one, but came up with another English term.) The idea was to transport the robotling to another planet in a parallel universe. Power Sword - K.O. Sword Power Fist - Servo Glove Got my game for my 10th birthday and man, was I proud of it. :)

I didn't know what a Blood Angel, Ultramarine or Imperial fist was was but I was Intrigued and excited at the prospect of playing it... but we just never did.

For me Starquest was the beginning of my Games Workshop hobby. I fell in love with the blood angels, long before they had the death company! I just liked their logo, they were red and their commander had this white armor. Really nice! Later on I really liked the first version of the Imperial Guard miniatures. When the officers looked like cuirassiers from the early 1800s. I set up my army that time with some allied Imperial Guard troops. At that time this was legit and not unusual. Unfortunately I did not play Warhammer 40k that often. At that time the internet was not really a thing and finding people in Austria to play with was not that easy. There were no shops too where you could have played the game. But still I have all my miniatures and still not all of them are painted :P

Amaaaazing game, was very lucky to be gifted a copy from my oldest friend a couple of years back. One day it will all get painted up and we will play again. A real blast from the past and sooo ahead of its time.

I loved this, playing this at a mom's friend's house with their son was what got me into 40k all those years ago

Space Crusade the board game & video game are what got me into the hobby! I think I even played Space Crusade on my Sinclair Spectrum (I'm getting too old)

The Space Crusade video game is one of my all time favourite games. This needs a new release. That might actually get me into Warhammer beyond throwing paint at stuff.

I've still got it and the dreadnought expansion. It's very much sided with the Alien player to win, the Marine players have to work together. That actually makes for fun games, they all want to do the Primary Mission and win, but also need to work with each other or will get wiped out. Lots of back stabbing and broken pacts went on

This tabletop game was the one that got me into wh40k. I got intrigued the moment I saw it staring at me on a toy store. That was it I got hooked at the age of 7

I have this game, plus both expansion packs! And let me tell you it is a good game! I ended up getting it back quite a few decades ago for Christmas back around 1992-1994. The toy shops were getting rid of their back stock, and I was able to get the core game for $19AU, while I also got the Mission Dreadnought expansion for $9AU! Talk about good timing.

I had Space Crusade before I got Heroquest and until 8th edition it was the only 40k I’d ever played! My models were painted using humbrol aircraft paints although I remember learning to drybrush the Dreadnought and the androids and thinking they looked amazing

I think I still have this stashed away at my parent's house from when I was younger. I remember my friend being in charge of the aliens and instead of fighting he would just run away all the time and drag games out forever haha

Nice vid. Brings back the memories. I had both Hero and Space and the C64 game. Spent many a hour with Space Crusade.

At my local club we blew the dust off an old set of Space Crusade and replayed the full campaign last year. Still a fantastic game.
