Seva Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I had two of those guys. I think I still have them actually. I remember thinking how much better they looked than the Grenadier line of D&D miniatures. Ral Partha was still ok back then. The models are so much better now days. Those do bring back memories though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeusLion Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I have one of each of these models and frankly I think they are still some of the best looking models GW has ever produced. they both have such character without being overly gaudy or, frankly, so overly ornate as to look silly (some of the new and over-the-top GK models for example). I've kitted them both out with metal GK arms and they serve as Terminator Justicars or Brother Captains, depending upon the list I'm running. Thanks for sharing these great, classic models!

Isiah Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I agree. These are cool models for sure. You can still pick 'em up frequently on ebay and they are worth looking out for. Nice paint job on them LostBritain. Promise you'll keep them yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Awesome, I had both of those but I sold one and lost the other :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostwolf Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Think these old boys are worth owt? I've had them yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeearrrrs. I smell a redditor... Nice minis! Is that thunder hammer part of the original model? It looks like it's one of the 2nd Ed metal terminator arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model came with a combi-weapon arm (Bolter with a Lasgun on top, I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nied Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I always loved both of these figures. Bionic leg AND digi-weapons? You don't get much cooler than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Lovely. Not sure you'd get much for them if you sold them, but the bragging rights and stories you could tell would be well worth keeping them! Most of my rhinos are rogue trader, not because I sought them out etc. but because I've been playing such a long time and not that many people have them now. Always manages to get a few conversations going about the good old days (and makes me waste half my turn at tournaments :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Speaking as someone who pursued them for a while, the guy with the bionic leg goes for about ten bucks and the other guy goes for a bit more. I wouldn't sell them. Not enough money in exchange for the quantities of awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostwolf Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Someone who frequents the website reddit. Never heard of it, sorry. Heh, no biggie. You're actually better off not going there. There's a lot of interesting and time wasting stuff but I think it'll suffer the same fate as Digg and be replaced by something completely different but altogether similar. I guess I have seen too many "Hey guys, remember this?" and "I have/haven't done this in yeeeaaaaars" posts lately and the formulation you used in yours was a bit too familiar. But enough about that. Let's keep it on the subject. I don't really have anything to add at his point anyway sooooo... yeah, needler. Haven't heard that weapon's name in a while. One of the first poisoned weapons, iirc. Can't look up my 2nd ed books from work. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt Thrower Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I've got a terminator cap'n and a librarian from that era for about £3 each on ebay. I used to have the old lightning claw fella from back then but that got lost about 16 years ago. I also had the 'Imperial space marines' box.

Dark Sensei Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hmmm you might be right indeed Crazychib, the psycanon is the Ordo maleus arm and that is a combo bolter/needler. Its somehow hard to say on first glance for original psycanon looked like a broomhandle gun with a long barell, then there is the Ordo mini with the skull thing above (link), there we have the =][= game with an inquisitor bearing a psycanon shoulder turet, then Mk1 & Mk2 Grey knights minis... What a mess ! http://www.solegends.com/citcat911/c2019sm...erminator-h.htm DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
