Space Hulk launch splash from White Dwarf 113, May 1989.

“Six centuries have passed since the Terminator Squads of the Blod Angels Chapter were all but annilihated while trying to board and secure a space hulk.

Fearless of death, ferociously intelligent, Genestealers resemble the most fearsome monsters of ancient legend - horrors of teeth, claw and savage glittering eyes.”
