G'day all me again. i came into some old space crusade miniatures and was wondering what you think i could do with them as they are in fairly good condition

Something tells me they aren't actually "Space Crusade"(TM) minis. I don't recall the SC minis having the long crotchplate - or hex bases (although GW did used to make hex slotta bases).

There was another mob doing similar minis, and these appear to be theirs.

Can't really comment on the paintjobs or anything else as I can't actually make out any detail. Any chance of a closer-up?

nah i got them looked at by a GW Employee and the guy reckons they're space crusade

They seem really old, yeah, but old minis can look good when painted nice.

You just can say they the armors are reliques from the chapter or something similar...

cool, thanks for the idea!

Welcome!

That´s just the standar way of saving bucks and gaining fluff, lol

Like I said, can't really say a lot without better pics.

The Space crusade minis looked similar to the monopose Macragge SM (only moulded in coloured plastic, not grey) and looked like this:


This is a sprue from Mission Dreadnought, the expansion (and that's the plastic tarrantula weapons platform).

You'll note the lack of extended crotchplate, and the more SM looking backpacks.

The pictures you submitted look roughly like these, but unless you squint at them out of the corner of your eye while hanging upside down and looking in a mirror - I can't say for sure. Bigger pics are better, in this case.

These, to my eyes, look more like the Em-4 "Space Ranger" figures (poses are similar to the SC minis, and assembly is nearly identical). At least, the backpacks do. I have a box of these hanging around somewhere.


However, like I said, I can't tell for sure without better pics.

They are Space Ranger minitures, a short lived miniature range that lasted the one boxset. You get 20 Space Rangers, five 'sergeants' and fifteen troopers with plug chest weapopns similar to space crusade.

While on Space Crusade, if you find any note that you get conversion beamers in the set, useful for Master of the Forge conversions.

yeah, not space crusade, i have the full set unpainted, bought it off ebay and never got round to painting them and they are very different
