The inside cover image: a classic Rogue Trader Crimson Fist beakie looking good.
The table of contents. The origin stories and artwork for almost every major aspect of the Space marines is here from Rogue Trader on up through the ages. We get chapters, Chaos Marines, key units, vehicles, the Horus Heresy and much more.
Speaking of origin stories, here’s the original Legion of the Damned story from White Dwarf 99, published in March 1988.
Here is the fantastic art that served as the cover for EPIC: Space Marine (1991)
And who can forget the original dome-turreted Predator!
Look for a lot of very early reprints of items from the golden era of White Dwarf.
While we are waxing nostalgic, enjoy the Warhammer 40,000 kickoff issue: White Dwarf 93, published in September 1987.
