If its any use I have a copy of the Space Marine novel. Starting in a
hive called Necromunda (the novel was written quite some time before
the game was released) it gives good background for that setting, for
one of the SM chapters in Space Crusade, includes chaos campaigns and
a reconnaissance into an unidentified threat to the Imperium (which
means you will never look at bugs the same way again).

I also have a copy of Inquisitor which, oddly enough, deals mainly
with the incursions of Chaos (I have since become a founding member of
the Slaanesh Social Club - emblem is an ice-cream cone rampant!).

I've had the big words spelt out to me and coloured in the few
pictures so if anyone wants to read them send me your address.
(Delivery may take up to 28 days while I searchy my cupboards)
