Welcome to 40k Flashback, where I dig deep for something cool that I have or have seen from back in the day. Which according to the comic Dane Cook was a Wednesday…
This is a look at the early 90’s “red” period for Games Workshop where the studio seemed to uh painted everything in reds for some reason.
Believe it or not, this is about an average game of “Epic” 40k (or “Space Marine” depending on the period this pic was taken).
You can see some MK1 Deimos Pattern Land Raiders in the foreground that are now kits from Forge World, as well as a Reaver Titan –MBG
