And I still think the SM1 Box Art is the best.

Me too. And the cover for AT.

Yes, both of those are classics !  I keep all my boxes to store counters, terrain, infantry etc.  So I've got not only a big collection on Epic models ... but a big collection of boxes starting with SM1 on ! :laugh:  In the old days G/W sold a huge poster of the top of the SM1 box ... I got one of those "adorning" a wall of my War Room ! :vD

The SM1 box art is one of my favorites as well.  The funny thing about it is how tiny the spent bolter casings are compared to the current interpretation.

Totally.

When I came back to the hobby after a long time off I couldn't understand who the Imperial Fists were. Wasn't that name originally used by a titan legion? Nope, Yellow Space marines! And then, when they predated the Crimson Fists I was kind of pissed. Crimson fists are the original Space Marines! Cover of Rogue Trader for crying out loud! The cover that inspired us all! ... Original!! Well them, and the Rainbow Warriors (yikes! where'd they go?!)  :vD
