Nice, I have just ordered a reissue of the rulebook from GW. My original copy is still in my mother's loft, hole punched and transferred to a ring binder, it fell apart within a few months after Christmas 87 or maybe 88. I was 12 and my imagination was on fire back then, so I spent hours pouring over the book.
Still in my painting queue is a full 10 strong squad of imperial army (the first solid metal lot before they became guard), 10 original metal space marines, a lot of orks (including a dreadnought and a battlewagon). Also I have a load of 2000ad perps, I always intended to have a battle between the imperial army and 2000ad perps and muties.
Maybe after my current project I should visit this, certainly a lot fewer miniatures to paint than a WFB 3rd edition army.
