Found: The Space Marine
Found: The Space Marine
Behold the Space Marine, another found Memphis Scavenger Hunt item.
The Space Marine stands proudly on a pedestal outside of a Games Workshop in an office park in an industrial part of Memphis. He looms large over the parking lot, his tiny body and giant gun ready for action.
The Space Marine was created by Games Workshop as part of their tabletop game Warhammer 40,000. According to Wikipedia, Space Marines are "giant, genetically-enhanced super-soldiers with world-destroying firepower and unswerving, fanatical loyalty to the Emperor of Mankind". This particular version seems a bit stumpy for a genetically-enhanced super soldier, but I'm not one to judge.
Games Workshop is a huge international tabletop gaming company that's based in the UK. Their U.S. distribution facility is located here in Memphis. There's a small retail shop at the Memphis facility where you can pick up Games Workshop games and miniatures.
