(RT) Lord Macragge (and ooold termies)

[Suber]

Another piece of old You may (or most probably not ) remember my Alpha Lord on Palanquin (I mean this):



I decided to retrieve the original concept, so I repainted the minis



And with just a couple of pieces of foamboard built this:







I should set a couple of flags behind and some other stuff, but for the moment this is enough to ease the anxiety for having the diorama .

I also painted these pretty old Mk.II and Mk.III Terminators




 
I'm looking for some Mk.I, but still haven't been lucky...

Cool!  The good old days, when space marines were 5 ft 6

I nearly bought that set a load of times in my youth.  Good work digging it up and putting it on show

The terminators are great too.

Great stuff, Suber!
I much prefer the new paintjob, resurrecting the original Mr Calgar.
 

Nice work on the termies, too.
 
I have a couple of the old ones too and was wondering whether to keep them or not.
You are pushing me towards keeping them for myself.

Oddly that cloaked Mk6 fella is one of my favorite old sculpts.  I always thought he'd make a cool-as-ice Space Marine commander.

Awesome stuff 

I do think the bases on the Terminators are too big though, but the models and paintjob is great!

I really love the original, it's RT as hell but appreciate what you've done with the redux. Love the termies, I'm not sure if I've got a MK111 but I do have a MK1!
....just need to find his banner pole.

[spevna]

Love it.

Calgar looks much better now.

The terminators look great too.

The cloak is on a stand mate so not actually a marine.

I've got this little set complete and another missing the marine body guard so just added a c100 first space marine,  works perfectly.

I do think that your nice tidy paint job could do with a bit more time spent on the wall behind, hide the foamcore edge a little, maybe add some banners as you said.

Cheers

Holy crap - you're right.  I'd only ever seen it in an old White Dwarf where it was behind the sitting marine, so I had thought it was a fancy advisor.  I just glossed over the pictures here in the thread.  Now I feel like an idiot.  Still, a cloaked Mk6 beakie standing all stoic-like would have been a cool sculpt.

Man...I feel like my childhood has been ruined!

Like the re-paint on that 

I've got the set somewhere and have always fancied doing a diorama for it.

cheers

You are most welcome.

Thanks everyone! I also like much more the new concept and repaint.

I have a couple of the old ones too and was wondering whether to keep them or not.

Hmmm, wait a minute, I'll just send you an address where you can send them

I do think the bases on the Terminators are too big though, but the models and paintjob is great!

I had some uneasy thoughts on that, but I finally decided to go for the big bases; they still need some work though, they are way too plain that way.

... but I do have a MK1!

I'm sending you my address too!

You are totally right, I still need to do some additional work on the whole display. I'm on other non-GW projects right now (my brain needs some oxigenation ), but I'll come back on this for sure .

I had a squad of the MK I's. They were my favorite. Traded long ago.
