Madz Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn105/SpartanEXR/DSC07412.jpg So I bought this presumably old pack (from 1988 it says). The figures inside, 3 marines in Mk2 Crusade armor, looks amazingly cool, and I was wondering if there was any other place than the internet (I bought this pack of Ebay, but I buy too much stuff from there, so I feel like I have to stop lol) where you can buy old warhammer figures? Thanks in advance ps. Also, what do you think of the figures? Haven't opened the pack yet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169503-old-crusade-marines-are-these-rare-pics-inside/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
drazz Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Definitely legit. Old school GW marines. Definitely pretty rare, and I highly doubt your are going to fine anywhere (physical store or even internet site) that carries them in any volume. Person to person sales are going to be the only way to get any more. But, nice find.

Skirax Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I envy you! :D I only hope you give them a really good paint job, relics like those need TLC.

Ufthak Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Lucky you...paint them well, or in any case keep them, they're quite rare nowadays. Hang on to them...or send them to me :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169503-old-crusade-marines-are-these-rare-pics-inside/#findComment-2001064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Jammy git! ;) Nice find Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169503-old-crusade-marines-are-these-rare-pics-inside/#findComment-2001558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madz Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Ah, nice! I'll make sure to paint them very good and detailed :unsure: I wish GW could release a boxed set of pre-heresy armor (in plastic, so not the armor through the ages set.)

Skirax Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Why stop there? Heck, I'd love an entire Pre-Heresy range to be released, with WH40K:30K! as a codex or supplement to the rules, that says they use the basic outlines of C:SM and then this adds extra rules.

Sons of Horus Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 heck if GW released a pre-heresy range with codex etc. i wouldn't ever be caught playing regular 40k again :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169503-old-crusade-marines-are-these-rare-pics-inside/#findComment-2007069 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Think I was the one that sold you those on ebay mate! I bought them in the reading GW store back in '89 if they're the same ones. They are really nice minis, I've still got a few I kept for my own armies and they make great captains as they have a sword as well as the bolter. They're currently out of production as far as I know but there are ebay stores that sell them individually but you're probably looking at about ten quid a model from there and highly unlikely they will be in their blisters still. Best thing you can do with them is open the pack and get painting mate unless you want to hold onto them for later resale. Edit: Here's the pack I sold. http://i44.tinypic.com/2m2i7gx.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169503-old-crusade-marines-are-these-rare-pics-inside/#findComment-2009088 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's quite a coincidence mate. :mellow: I bought a whole heap of them, Mk I through to MkVI. I opened a few packs, got sidetracked by newer models and left then in the loft to gather dust for twenty years. I came across them a couple of months back whilst helping clear out my old man's attic for him and figured someone would put them to better use. Those ones are really nice though, I sold another pack recently of the same and some Mk I Thunder armour as well. I'm sure you'll do them proud mate. :cuss TheDarker:IfI come across any more I'll give you a shout mate. :huh: I might be putting up some more that are loose from their packs at some point.
