Also I still want to see more of Pil's marines  :D

Nice try, but I haven't painted any marines since ;) I have painted some RT scouts (and Ambulls) though if you haven't seen them before:

Your Blood Angels look nice! The scenery could be better though ;)

Actually, now that I think of it, I painted five Space Crusade marines in Field Police Colours, they were very annoying models to paint (so I won't paint any more of those anytime soon) and the Field Police colours don't work as well on the grill face helmets but they are marines ;) I'll take some pics at home. I don't think there were any special rules for Field Police and I don't think there's a lot of fluff about them either. Also, the only specific Field Police "model" I know of is a biker arm with the logo on the shoulder pad. Just for completeness sake, here are my Field Police again (this time outside of the LPL):

Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly
Before the storm begins

I did see the Scouts and the Ambulls, they look great..

The field police also looks great, I might paint up some too, that will make a good variation from red, also I like camo marines, but I don't know if I can pull it off...

Those look great, Pil.

I wonder why GW stuff is so expensive?

This one reminds me of Billy Bob Thornton... Angellina Jolie's ex.

There was about 20 auctions on ebay that ended last night for single beakies, going for 50p each. They looked to shiny though...

Ebay is flooded with beakies, some of them go for £2 to £3 but theres always some muppet that trys to flog RT era stuff for £20+

They're not that rare, as TheMightyFlip said there are lots of auctions for them on eBay but you do have to pay for it, a couple of quid usually for the metals and the plastics sell for about one quid each. There are some exceptions though which sell for more.

Thantsants> nice models, I like the guardsman on the Grox, I converted some spare cold ones into grox as well when I noticed the resemblance 8)

Cheers -  he was supposed to be a Rogue Trader / Grox Rancher depending on the scenario - went with the space cowboy theme, complete with brain control device for his grouchy ride...

Those are very good, I love that old stuff.

It seems we are hijacking Pil's thread with all things of oldschool marines, I hope he doesn't mind though  :D

I am currently have several RT projects, but they are all mostly on hold because of a large Victorian Sci Fi project at the moment.

I currently have models for a Blood Angels army, I have a large army painted but they are painted very bad and I am working on a new army, starting with painting up my unpainted models and later stripping the "old" army and repainting.

Also I have a Squat army, which will be allied to my marines and I have a Genestealer Cult and an Imperial Guard army, but the three latter is still unpainted and I don't know if my IG will be part of the Genestealer Cult exclusively or if there will be both armies.

When this stuff comes along I will probably start up a new thread, untill then I will encourage everyone with oldschool models to post pictures or start new threads with pictures. PLEASE  :D

Of course not, it's lovely to see all that old stuff together! 8) I don't have much to add lately as we are currently not playing 40k. I'm looking forward to seeing your stuff 8)
