Sauron1 writes;GW had a box game called Space Crusade out a few years
ago.It was a Space Hulk like game except with Space Marines,Orcs,Eldar
and Chaos Space Marines and Robots.There were some very good plastic
pieces in the sets.In particular there were the Chaos Human size androids
and three variatations of a 25mm Chaos two legged walker that you
used to get in the Epic2nd chaos sets.Anyway I use the 25mm chaos walker
as a chaos Titan.Does anyone have any to trade? sauron1
