GENERAL: HOBBY CAFE - A Bygone era

 It boggles the mind to think that I have been at this hobby for almost 20 years (and still without a finished army - that will be for another post). I remember first being introduced to the game by a college mate of mine. The original Shakk boy denizen Rey Reyes (may you keep rolling sixes in heaven dude) we had played using rogue trader back in 93. I think we were still using the Rogue Trader rulebook or something but I didn't care.

All I remember was that the orks I had were tasked with holding the bridge from the Space Marines and the Gretchin with demolition charges saved the day by having them run forward to the Marine lines and acted as suicide bombers. It took us 8 hours to finish that game and the sun was waaay up when we parted ways but it was one great game.
