Can't start a fire without a spark

          This is probably the most iconic 40k image going and the one that started it all off for me back in '90, even now I'm captivated by it and the minds that lead to inspire it, such a rich and full background of an entire Universe, one that now exists in the minds of so many 40k fans. It's a living work of art that is sustained and expanded by our passion for the hobby. Haunting to think that so many people have a hand in the creation, of galaxy so massive that not one person has a whole picture every event taken place within it, perhaps our desires to seek out the unknown is the real fuel behind this wonder, the 40k universe doesn't rely on technology to explore it, or a new more powerful telescope to find other planets that may sustain life, nothing is holding us back. It assumes so much, but places no restraints on us as it's explorers we are free to delve into it's mysteries, it's expanse, it's wonders, limited only by our imagination and should our imaginations fall short others are there to continue the journey, as we do not travel alone.

My first White Dwarf (the first and only time my sister ever lent me money, well I was only 10!) and the incredible story by William King that caught my imagination all those years ago.
