The arms on that conversion are converted Hybrid arms which aren't the easiest things to come by, but looks quite good :)

Yes, I know, but they were also used as arms for the metal genestealers later. I have quite a collection of these arms at the moment, everytime I see one in a friends bits box I liberate it for my Genestealer Cult  :D

In the spirit of old school 40K stuff, I have a couple pictures of my Dark Angel Terminators.



I just love the look of the old style plastic Terminators. I liked the metal ones as well. Come to think about it I like the new ones too. I guess I just like Terminators.

Thank you Chico and Suber. Once I get a couple more finished I can consider running a game of Space Hulk.

No I don't. In fact these Terminators are the oldest 40K minis I have. At least I think these are the oldest.

Been a long time since I added to this thread. After working for so long on the Blade Runner project I was in the mood to paint something different. Here goes...



Three more Catachans. I might have to dig out a few more cause these guys were fun to paint.



Two more Genestealers. At this rate I'll be able to play Space Hulk by 2019.



and finally, I cleaned up some of my old Necrons and gave them a spiffy new ancient look. I love the old Necrons, even if they never got a good number of poses. There's just something cool about how archaic they look. I hate the new plastic ones. They look too serious for my taste. I don't like the way the new army plays either. No more slowly lumbering across the board, seeing if the enemy can kill enough of my guys to save themselves. Then again I was always more interested in pushing metal figures around then I was about winning. That's probably why I gave up on 40K a couple years ago. The Necrons were the first 40K army I ever played with. I had lots of Imperial Guard and Tyranid miniatures back in the day, but the only army I had enough models to play with were the old Necrons. My first Necron was a freebie attached to an issue of White Dwarf.

Oh, one more picture, because I have a new terrain piece to show off, and it makes for a silly scene.

Nice work, Michka.
RT is something that should never die.
Love the 'oldskool' vibe coming off of these fellas.

The necrons and water cooler are particularly nice.  

I enjoy the look of all the necrons, old and new (although the basic trooper is over a decade old now) but the old necrons definitely have an archaic something special in their design.  They look like if you opened them up they might be full of valves rather than circuitry, like Flash Gordon tech.

You almost make me think that I should paint some of my own SH plastic Terminators. They look nice, and the pj seems simple enough to be finished in a few sessions...

How did you get rid of the aerials that cleanly?
