We have an identical origin story. Mine was with White Dwarf 192 from December 1995. Which I spotted as a ten year old in the Martins newsagents in Frome. That issue touts a "new ork warbike" and a breakdown of the PC game Shadow of the Horned Rat. The battle scenes completely transfixed me and from that moment on I was a fantasy/sci-fi fan and eventual TTRPG player/designer.
I also re-purchased that issue via ebay in my mid thirties (since my six foot stack of White Dwarf mags went into a car boot sale long ago).
