- I have a large number of Black and White army cards from Space Marine. I'd assumed they were first edition, where'd they come from then? I was six when my brother started making me play these games, so can't remember much besides getting really upset when I lost, which was of course every time, but the titans were big like real toys, so always had a soft spot for them. And they're cool!
The quake on the model is just representative, it'll be modelled properly when the rest of the robot is sorted.
Space Marine is somewhat confusingly the name for both 1st and 2nd edition box sets.
The order is
1st edition
Adeptus Titanicus (with supplement Codex Titanicus which was both good and bad)

Space marine

2nd edition
Space marine (several supplements)
Titan Legions
3rd edition
Epic 40,000
4th edition
Today!
2ns edition had 'army cards' which have also been made for 4th edition, 1st edition had two types of cards. The first were for Titans - colour cards (or photocopies) with details of the titans.

Reavers were in the Codex Titanicus supplement and white dwarf.
Space marine had unit cards (featuring 5 infantry or 1 vehicle) and you used a regimental structure to build the army, from which you took detachments for battles.
Anyway - the MRL/TLD/PF wasn't the default fit, it was just the one that got pictured a lot and used in examples as it had barrage/AP/AT/CC so was a good example.
