Its a great sci-fi world - very gritty and hopeless and quite low-tech in places (40k only here). Its a world away from shininess like star trek and star wars.

Tourney legal? Nooooo. A ton-of-fun to build up some mutated Sherman with parts of a Gundam stuck on? Yep!I remember (and this shows how long ago I was playing) when White Dwarf, their magazine, would show how to make up your own vehicles from bits of scrap and WWII models. One I remember was a hover tank made from a bunch of bits and a deodorant stick. Can't quite see them letting that on the table top now.
