Digging around the man cave when I found a box folder with my favourite models in 40K, the Terminators of the Space Marines, the new stuff is lovely but these in my opinion were the best, I have had most of these for quite a while (back when my chapter The Dark Angels were black!), it's a static pose but a pose of authority......
........most of them have been nitromor's a few times and repainted a few times (the last time was many years ago but still my favourites, not even on proper 40K bases but they were for another set of rules once that didn't happen.........maybe it's time to get the Dettol!!!!!!!
He had a few friends.......
.....and a few more!
What the hell he got a few more, I think the chaplain is the newest?
I have to agree 100% - that Terminator Captain model was pretty much solely responsible for my interest in 40k.
ReplyDeleteI feel the need to dig out my old Termie Captain and repaint him!
Do it sir.
DeleteAnd then post the photograph!
DeleteLooks pretty good to me. But as you intermate, Nostaligia is not what it used to be!
ReplyDeletethat group is very cool.. i like the last image and the first row last guy... can i call him mister rocket?
ReplyDeleteIt's a very nice mini indeed, what are the plans for repainting it?
ReplyDeleteVery nice mate I love the Classic 8 model Terminator set the Librarian was a close favourite.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a newer terminator chaplain as all the Termie suits now hulk over everyone.
They look great, Fran.
ReplyDeleteThe flat bases work good with them, too!
They have chaplains? If religious people wore armour like that I might go to church.
ReplyDeleteYou kept these quiet Mr!
ReplyDeleteThey all look great. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteHa! Just traded for a few of these a couple weeks back. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteGreat minis Fran, I love GW stuff, but baulk at their extortionate prices...:-(
ReplyDeleteThese are Space Crusade/Space Hulk vintage - just before GW went apeshit and morphed into the Evil Empire. Blimey, you could even buy spare parts to do your own mods.
ReplyDeleteHappy days,long gone, but a nice figure.
:O)
I do enjoy the designs of the Warhammer guys, being nerdy and all.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are wicked cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome, great job once again at your den
ReplyDeleteLove those old school terminators
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Nasty looking fellows...wouldn't like to meet them in a dark alley!
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job on his face Fran and I like his expression. No Dettol for the minis!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey look pretty solid as a crew!
ReplyDeleteNice work, General.
ReplyDeleteThese look damned good sir, shame about the game system ;-)
ReplyDeleteIan
Very nice old skool models Fran. You should try them out with Space Hulk. Great game.
ReplyDeleteI wanna see 'em kick ass.
ReplyDeleteI think GW has lost the ability to produce such fantastic models. My favourite one is the old Abbadon. Wonderful model!
ReplyDeleteNice minis indeed, not sore about the need to repaint them, they look Tabletopish enough.
ReplyDeleteTough lot, bringing the bad@ss! GW does have a lot of models with character.
ReplyDeleteI must say the paint job is pretty good to my eyes! I certainly wouldn't repaint them! Re-base only, if that's necessary?
ReplyDeleteGotta love a chaplain in heavy armor!
ReplyDeletedont they have this game on PC's now? and online? lol
ReplyDeletebut nah I know you like your painting.
Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the little skulls. Very cool.
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks, I am feeling better. Just sore but no flu as of yet. As I say, fingers and paws crossed.
I think they look just fine as is!
ReplyDeleteI like the Inquisitor model the most. It says "oldschool" with such badass. Oh sweet memories.
ReplyDeleteI can only second Anne and what she said about the face of the captain; pretty aweseome. Maybe just add some coloured details on them to break the plain black, like the skullwings on the chests and the kneepad and belt buckle on the captain.
Those where the Terminators I loved. You feel the weight of the armor and the fact the guy won't let you go with a smile.
ReplyDeleteThe new Terminators look too dynamic in my opinion.
They look pretty good as they are to me!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Aaron
Hey! I knew you had some of these around! I'm pretty fond of the 40k even if I don't collect the miniatures. Weird that all you have are pre-heresy Dark Angels.
ReplyDeleteBlood Ravens are the best chapter because they're the stupidest.
Very nicely done. I would not want to anger him!!
ReplyDeleteBoy those were the days. I remember when those Terminators used to be massive figures. Now they're the same size as a normal space marine and about half the size of a modern Terminator. That last one isn't a Chaplain by the way, he's an Inquisitor. Depending on your luck, he can sometimes go for quite an impressive amount on Ebay. Other times, you can practicaly steal him away for nothing.
ReplyDeleteI've got to echo many of the same sentiments, the captain and the rest of the line are just beauties and totally hold their own to today's multi-part, hyper-dynamic plastic poses. Nice re-find!
ReplyDeleteGuns AND a sword? That's truly bad ass. I'd love to see those things in action.
ReplyDeleteLooks excellent to me Fran! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool miniatures. The suits on those space soldiers are very detailed. Great job!
ReplyDeleteDescent paint job + nostalgia = looks awesome to me ;-)
ReplyDeletethis looks like it could have been a character from an early 90's cartoon I used to watch called ExoSquad. Soldiers who suited up in giant armored space suits. Awesome stuff.
ReplyDeleteHe looks well painted to me.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work there Fran and Termintors rock!
ReplyDeletethey could easily join Pacific Rim!
ReplyDeleteExcellent painted figures!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
