The 40k models looked(mostly) lame, so i think thats why,except the
crusader, which i thought looked real ggod.
again, they didn't make it into 40k 2nd edition, along with
all the auto-drive/auto-shoot/powerfields stuff

also, in the E30k timeframe, dreadnoughts had cool names like
chuck,eddy, and fury, and had living pilots inside
