As much as I love some of the earlier issues that were my first WD purchases, this issue is still my favorite WD of all time. I think this was the 4th or 5th one I picked up back in 1990 when I was first getting into the hobby. Loads of important WH40K lore content including History of Space Marine Armor by Rick Priestly which still stands as my favorite piece of the lore GW has ever created. It also featured the highly detailed painting guide for Mk VII armor that still forms the basis of the schemes I use on my Dark Angels today. There were also updated vehicle rules, the first descriptions of artificer armor, the first beta rules for overwatch, intricately detailed Painboy rules for orks, and, in a move that has the most bearing on the current era: this was the legendary issue where space marine Toughness went from 3 to 4! It's hard to believe all this content was in one humble issue and that's why as much as I enjoy many other issues, this one still takes the crown for me. Thanks for reading and stay safe out there.
