    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.

      @@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 ^^.

    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...

      Back home and cracked open my copy again.
      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. :)

    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

      Usually there is hardly any information of these older kits and often peaces are missing, so if you dont mind please do document your game, with all the peaces, so people can reproduce missing peaces and get idea if they are missing something, since they might be missing the manuals that lists everything and even then you dont know what it might look like. This way older games can be kept intact over the decades and not so many are lost, witch some will with out doubt (house fires etc)

I also played this with my two younger sons from a second relationship. I bought new marines and helped my sons paint them up with their names on the back banners.

    This vid gave me fond nostalgic memories, This was the box that started it all for me, i remember being 10 and spotting this game in a second hand store for $5 with all the pieces together, no idea what it was at the time but found some cheap craft paints and went ham, no idea how the game worked but boy did i enjoy slapping one thick coat on them and completely messing up the eyes. Shortly after i started collecting lizardmem and when i looked into 40k a few years later and checking out the range i vividly remember thinking “huh, whats this bulky thing, thats not what a dreadnaught looks like” thanks to my first impressions from space crusade. Good times, loving these retro vids
