Terminator Genisys...expanding...where to get the big ones?
« on: 02 December 2016, 10:03:20 AM »
Last Friday I bought the Terminator Genisys box and a blister of Heavy Weapon Endoskeletons from Warlord Games (NB! The box is still for sale for £20…a steal!). With the plastic Combat Zone troopers in my collection, I have more than enough regular Resistance soldiers. And Warlord Games accidentally sent a box of plastic Terminators instead of the Heavy Endoskeletons*, so I also have enough Terminators.
Adding to the humans will be easy…some jeeps or Humvees with machine guns and done. That should be easy with regular modern ranges. But for the Terminators it gets a bit more tricky. Do you guys have any good suggestions for:

Hunter Killer aerial (the flyer)
Hunter Killer T-1 (the tracked gun platform)

Of course River Horse sells the Spider Tank (not too cheap though). And I saw that Playmates (what  a name…) sold plastic models of these, but I can’t really find them at good prices. So do you guys have good suggestions for these? Thank you!

*I mailed Warlord Games this morning and the missing blister is already in the mail. Excellent customer service! 8)

I'll have to check, but I think I've got the Hunter Killer and T-1 at home unboxed. I bought them for a Necron/Terminator project that never developed. If I still have them (won't be able to check until Monday, but pretty sure I have), I'll be more than happy to sell them on.

PM me if interested.

There was some fantastic toys available when the second to last terminator film came out. (The one with Christian Bale). They were dirt cheap. There were flyers and some crawler type ones.

I might be wrong, but I think that's the film my T1 and Hunter Killer were released from.

Yes, Salvation...those are the Playmates toys. Really cool stuff! If you have them and are willing to sell them, I'll gladly trade/buy them :-*

Playmates did a Hunter Killer aerial which scales well with 28mm. They were about £5 with a Toys R Us sale when I got mine. The Salvation action figures had a T-1 which is a good as a HK Tank in 28mm.

I've a couple of resin HK tanks which Forbidden Planet had cheap but are now probably going for silly money. Still looking for decent scale moto-terminator bikes if any one has any suggestions.

I've got 2 of them as well, really nice but the body is leaning over slightly. I've thought about cutting it in half and magnetising it.
Pegasus do a 1/35th scale one as well

Let me check when I get home - as I say, it won't be until Monday at the earliest.

and a HK aerial kit as well but the prices in the UK are silly. I've been looking for them in sales but haven't got lucky yet.

  In the US, 7 Eleven was selling the motorcycle terminators that were connected to the big gulp straws. A bunch of sent a guy from TMP some cash so he could pick up a lot of them.

The Playmates HK's are very nice. I have 2 or 3 of them. There were also the early HK's and aerial HK sold for Salvation, IIRC. I have them too. I need to create some ruined building to run a game. Got plenty of everything else.

Thanks.

I've got 2 of those T1. If nozza_uk doesn't find his, I can sell you mine.

  Hi, that's not the Playmates HK tank. It looks like the ones from the 1st Terminator movie. Those are the T-1's from Salvation.

As it's scaled for a six inch action figure it's a passable tank in 28mm. Did Playmates make an actual tank?

If anyone's looking for Terminator miniatures River Horse have a 30% off sale at the minute. (no affiliation)

Pegasus has the Terminator Hunter Killer tank... But that one is very expensive. The Playmates one is from Salvation, the small tracked one with twin miniguns. But excellent for the game as a stand-in for the big one.
