White Dwarf 222, of June 1998, featured a battle report adaptation of the Battle of Rorke's Drift - best known from the film ‘Zulu!’ Naturally,
this pitted a platoon of the then newly released Praetorian Imperial Guard against a group
of savage Orks who came at the Imperial defenders in a number of waves. I
always loved this battle report for the way it leant on an historical event
without making it a straight out recreation in 40k. The exaggeration and satire
blended with the Gorkamorka vogue captivated me and even now, 18 years later, I enjoy
flicking through that battle report.
