on vinyl of course ;) hahaha

lol

The only thing that I can imagine myself listening to either of those bands on is heavy medication ;)


I was inspired from looking at a couple of old pictures.

That image is from Warhammer Seige IIRC.  The illustrations and photos in that book are fun, with a lot of them being quite goofy.  I recently showed that book to a local 40k player who was born in 1990.  He was very amused.  The mullets and sleeveless t-shirts in particular.  He couldnt believe what he was seeing lol


The psyker is from the old Adventurers range. Apparently she was originally supposed to be a civilian in distress.

Im not familiar with the figure  :?

Thanks Jonas, I recognise her now.

That page has a lot of RT goodness that I would like to get my hands on.  Lovely.

Maybe, but lipstick painted on miniature top lips pretty much inevitably doesnt do figures any favours.

Sometimes I think it is amazing to see the difference on the same miniatures from catalogue/WD pages to how they actually look.

Makes me feel a little better about my painting skills  lol

Lovely. I really like the RT-era rank insignia and helmet-stripes.   :-*

Thanks. I hope to some day give them all their chapter badges too. But for now it is a future project

They are psychos, which is why they get arrested by the field police ;)

Ohhh beakies, they look great (but being beakies, that's mandatory) ! The chainswords are modern ones though no?
Looking at that WD add, it really strikes me how ahead of their time GW minis were back then... they could be released now, 25 years later, and they'd still look awesome.
Thanks for the nostalgia trip ;) I still see myself, age 12, looking at the marines box and wishing i could buy it...

Nice Bolt Thrower background reference, on top of the rest: In battle, there's no law (what an anthem for wargamers ...) ;)

Yes, the chainswords are modern, I use those from Imperial Guard, they size up better than the ones from modern Marines.

Thanks, I chose a lot of old school stuff for posters to put on the walls of my buildings.  :)
