claimh_solais Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The new starter box for 8ed is around the corner and I cant wait , but before we get to see all the cool new modells lets have a lock back to 2008 and and the starterbox assault on black reach ..with is in my opinion the best starter box GW have done ..to date ! Yes I know the quality of the new minis from say dark vengeance or age of sigmar are superior but I dont think they hold upp to the level of pure joy this old Aobr have when it came out. The hype of getting a dreadnought in a starter box for one thing and the price point ! ore the uniq ork warboss everything was more than I could wish for in this box. I had the marines laying around in my storage unit for years and when I saw them laying there one day I felt quite sad and depressed to se them destroys chip broken and forgotten , the marines that gave me so much joy back in 2008 , so I thought THAT'S IT! No this is not a worthy end of to the proud space marines I will repair repaint and make the new and shiny again and put them in my display cabinet ! So i began the work and now its finished and I'm happy shear my marines with you( sadly I dont have the orcs ) and look back and remember this grate starter box The Capitan Wow this modell was so cool and dynamic , the clock looks so natural and the cool pose made him really look like a nobel hetero and fun to see the current space marine capita is modelled after this one http://i.imgur.com/0ITdmmL.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/iGSgeGq.jpg?1 The Taqtical Marines 10 taq marines is a most have for any marine player and her we got them .. not only did they look cool they actually were individual (well sort of) new helmets on some , and a bolter stip damn that looks badass , nice taq arrows and NO chapter symbols so anyone kan have them http://i.imgur.com/yDKsdkW.jpg The terminators Yes ..5 Terminators this was so cool , and the modells may have been snap fit but it was done in a excellent way so you could swap weapons on them to , the sergat was really nice looking to and I actually think this guys still hold up to the current terminator models http://i.imgur.com/mX1FjFx.jpg The Dreadnaught Damn ! this was the seling pont for many people i guess a whole dreadnaught !! I was so exited , shur it was a bit smaller and menopause but you could change weapons to and it came with a multi melta (witch we still dont have a plastic one for) http://i.imgur.com/yztjLWL.jpg?1 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333822-assault-on-black-reach-a-trip-down-memory-lane/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Haha, I bought like four full squads of those marines on ebay to make World Eaters. They're still waiting to be assembled and painted several years later. Lovely Ultramarines.
