Chaplain_Sam Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 So I just recently discovered that there is a model from Space Hulk for Brother Calistarius (aka Mephiston pre Lord of Death). I know this is old news and I have no idea how this escaped me for so long. Anyway, there aren't any 40k rules for Calistarius but I am totally getting his model anyway. This got me curious if anyone else has Blood Angel models or collectibles just to collect rather than play? Is there anything else awesome out there that I am missing ? http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt322/rfid69/Calistarius-Mephiston.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine7312000 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 One day I need to track down my metal furioso. I have a feeling its somewhere at my parents house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orogen Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I ebayed the hell out of a Captain Leonatus a long while ago. Still a cool looking mini. Picked up him and the Legion of the Damned guy, Centurius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 That was a lucky score. May I ask how much you got him for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain_Sam Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Well, I have a shrink wrapped second edition baal predator I think it would be cool to collect some of the out-of-production Blood Angels models. I won't start that though until I have all the current stuff I want though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 There are 40k rules for calistarius. Level 2 lib, force weapon and termie armour if using that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jønke Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Got the old lemartes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGK Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ahh, good Ole disco Lemartes! I have him too and beak him out to make my opponents cry (actually I cannot afford a new one and he still is a miniature of Lemartes...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain_Sam Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 There are 40k rules for calistarius. Level 2 lib, force weapon and termie armour if using that model. True, true. Though I'd rather just run him as a proxy for Mephiston if I was going to play him Got the old lemartes. The age of short squaty characters! Speaking of which, I hope we get a new Dante model.

Chaplain Admetus Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I've got a pair of metal Furioso dreads, both get used every so often. Also own every BA codex printed; the supplement dex from when I first started playing, both White Dwarfs that had the PDF codex, and our current one. I managed to get the Angels of Death codex to complete my collection for pretty cheap :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about grabbing one of the limited edition versions of the new BA codex when they come out. We'll see, they can be pretty pricey!

Though I'd rather just run him as a proxy for Mephiston if I was going to play him But Calistarius was just a plain Jane librarian until he got a building dropped on him. The Lord of Death rules don't accurately reflect his abilities. Not to mention the loadout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Very nice. I'm thinking about grabbing one of the limited edition versions of the new BA codex when they come out. We'll see, they can be pretty pricey! Ditto that. A friend got the limited edition orks and it was great, so I see no reason why ours shouldn't meet the same standards. Would be worth it, not just because its value would probably increase in years to come, rather than go up on ebay at bargain price. As for calistarius, I've converted his axe into a sword and given him a plasma pistol, used him in a few tournies as mephiston and everyone's been ok with it, actually it's welcomed because it's such an awesome model. Draws a lot of admirers and space-hulk related conversations :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 But Calistarius was just a plain Jane librarian until he got a building dropped on him. Just your everyday 8 foot tall vampiric superhuman with magic powers. Nothing special really :D Man I can't believe people are buying the limited ed books, I don't even want the normal ones for what they're asking! But to each their own I guess. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Angels are the only army I'd consider getting a limited edition of. Even then, it would depend on what limited editions are available... I don't see the need to shell out for the style like the Ork one that came with metal tokens, art slips and a supplement and cost you your soul.

I wouldn't even consider the limited edition books for any other army. It's possible for Blood Angels because they are my primary army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I have the old Lemartes, old Captain Tycho and the Games Day 2012 BA Captain, as well as the older codicies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orogen Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 That was a lucky score. May I ask how much you got him for? For Leonatus? Double lucky - really poor pic, misspelled name in the listing. I got it for $30 shipped and it at least SEEMS legit. This was at least 4-5 years ago, and there weren't (and still aren't) fake copies floating about so think its not a forgery world special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Did anyone ever get/does anyone still have the 3rd edition BA Honour Guard box set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The HG wasnt really that great. I think you can still buy the Sanguinary priest (the only model where both torso and legs were metal) from GW. It was basically an assault squad box with metal upgrades. Yuou got a metal powersword (same as the DC box) metal plasma gun, and metal standard/shroud. The best bit was the sergeants helmet. which has been surpassed by the helms in the SG boxedset.

Xenith Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yea. For a little while, the ASM and HG boxed sets were exactly the same price, which made choosing between them a no brainer. Kind of like the Rhino/Razorback thing we had a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
