Hi John!

The reason that the Dark Angels Terminator Company changed their

armour colour to white is as follows:

A group of Terminators returned to their homeworld to recruit

more Marines from it. It was a pretty primitive world when they left,

sort of based on American Indian culture. Anyway, when they got there,

the place had been taken over by Genestealers, and although the Marines

wanted to free the world, they did not believe that they would survive the

confrontation, so they performed the rite of Deathwing, the Emperor's steed

(from their culture). This is a rite performed when a warrior goes to his

death. The armour was left white in honour of this action, which was

successful.

Thanks to everyone who entered, the enthusiasm was overwhelming, and I

just wish I could give everyone a copy of the game!

Can you believe this was nearly 19 years ago? As it happens I never received my copy of Space Hulk, but those were the days before online courier checking etc...

Hey ho...

Wow - that is pretty amazing!

Yeah, and I must have about 3 versions on Steam by now - all unplayed...
