Miniature Games

User:BOZ I'm not familiar enough with the editions of the various Games Workshop spin off games so if you could double check the editions of Space Marine and Adeptus Titanicus in the early 1990s that would be great. I've been using Chamber's BoardGameGeek designer page to find the games he has worked on. Sariel Xilo (talk) 17:19, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

I'm not too keen on those myself either, but when I get a chance I will see if I can find anything out. BOZ (talk) 18:30, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I am not really sure where to look for more info. It looks like Adeptus Titanicus [used to be an article] many years ago, but I do not see a similar link for the Space Marine game. BOZ (talk) 00:05, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Geek & Sundry did an article about the 2018 updated version of Adeptus Titanicus and it briefly talks about the history: "The solution was to make the scale smaller, and this is where the story of Games Workshop’s greatest defunct game series takes shape. The original Adeptus Titanicus was brilliant, a crunchy counter to the popular Battletech. But that was only the start: it proved popular enough that the smaller 6mm scale (Epic, as it was called) was expanded upon in further games. There was Space Marine, which added tanks and, yes, Space Marines, followed by Orks, Eldar, and all the rest. Entire ranges of new titans and tanks were released, many of which only made it into 40k much later. It was my favorite non-skirmish game they ever did. Then it disappeared, with the last official release in 1997. The Epic scale games were gone, outside the obligatory internet community keeping it alive in fan updates. Until now. Adeptus Titanicus is back. It is, as it was 30 years ago, about giant robots and only giant robots". Sariel Xilo (talk) 19:07, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
