Original Epic Space Marine Box Art...

[Denzark]

Another Long shot...

Has anybody got a link to, or better, scans or copies of, the original box art from the Space Marine 6mm epic game 1st release?

I'm after the original original legion colours in particular the traitor colours and flags. The Index Astarte colours are on generation too late for what I am after.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS my google-fu let me down...

Board Game Geek has a good shot of the back of the box featuring the banners (http://boardgamegeek.com/image/376216/space-marine?size=medium). As you may have to log in to see the full size I'm reproducing it here:

Interesting that the night lords make it in with the big five and the salamanders are in but not the imperial fists.

Actually, its not that interesting :(

Agreed ;)

The imperial fists had not been invented then I'm afraid.

Death Guards, Sons of Horus?

Imperial fists might not have been, but Crimson fists were.

Thanks for this Mr G - good shot of the banners which may be making an appearance on a table near me soon...

For the geeks amongst you, you may notice the legion banners show slightly different legion numbers attributed.

One of the HH books namechecks the original Deathguard colours I seem to remember as White with red arm, as being their pre-Mortarion colours - maybe that is a minor retcon.

I am considering using these box colours for some pre-heresy type vanilla marines - mostly in Mk VI and will sometimes sub in as troops for my Chaos. I know I rail against counts as often and loud - however its more about trying to get flavour of the month - I hope people see a subtle difference about 'downgrading' to 'weaker' codexes...
