Moving on from the HeroQuest and Space Crusade material, the issue also features an article on Dragon Masters. In fact I gave the Eyes of Chaos a go at the time of its release, but never player the Space Crusade rules at all. The only truly new character is a Bretonnian Knight on foot, not a particularly challenging character to proxy. It is illustrated with some imposing pictures of metal Games Workshop Ogres, but was released hot on the heels of the HeroQuest expansion 'Against the Ogre Horde' which featured seven plastic Ogres, so plenty of existing players would have the necessary models. It consists of a two part quest called the Eyes of Chaos. The HeroQuest article is rather better in my view. Younger players would have to buy a lot of new models to play the missions, while the only players likely to have the required miniatures already would probably have a copy of Space Hulk and play that instead. With that in mind, its hard to see who this is aimed. One mission requires you to replace all the Orks with Genestealer Hybrids.

On the down-side, to make full use of the rules you are going to need a lot of models. Given that Space Crusade had no system for psychic powers, the inclusion of psychic power cards for all the marine players, albeit ones you have to cut out or photocopy, is particularly ambitious. The Space Crusade article is particular elaborate, featuring a five part campaign with rules for Genestealer Hybrids, Terminators and Librarians. The prominent logos could entice younger fans of the game while existing Games Workshop players could expand the games with a wider range of miniatures. It seems like a smart piece of marketing. This was White Dwarf's second special issue dedicated to these more mainstream board games (the first being 134). Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Androids (the fore-runners of the Necrons). I have written about HeroQuest before and Space Crusade was its Warhammer 40,000 inspired equivalent, in which players took control of squads of Space Marines battling Orks. The front cover of White Dwarf 145 comes as something of a shock, the main logo has been displaced to make way for the logos of HeroQuest and Space Crusade.
