Assault on black reach a trip down memory lane


Recommended Posts

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 smile.png

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

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

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

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)
