Someone from my local store was buying some of my Guard, when he asked if he could check out some of my Marines. He told me I had a "cash cow" model. Its a 1st edition termie. What is everyones thoughts on this? I got this piece for free from my buddy. Did I stumble upon a good find?


Bare with me, as my camera is HORRIBLE. I cannot get a detailed picture if I tried. The termie is equipped with a Cyclone Missile Launcher & a storm bolter, which looks weird. It has dual magazines? I haven't seen one like this. The magazines overlap each other, taking up most of the bottom of the gun. In the other hand, is, what ive been told is a targeting system for the missile.

1st edition terminators did have the double magazine (don't know if they still call it the storm bolter) and the other hand would be the targetter. It's not a cash cow though, it's uncommon just look at eBay prices, probably worth up to £10 tops.

The earliest terminators look even more different. They are worth good money, £20-30 on eBay.
Here they are under "terminator marines"

Alright, I appreciate the info, thanks.

Yeah, it's nice to have to be able to show folks what the original Terminators used to look like. Folks who've been playing since Rogue Trader will appreciate it. Most others won't really as compared to today's sculpts, it's pretty ugly. I've got one myself. It's a conversation piece, but not much more.

I have a squad of those old ones

I've got a squad of the "M&M" style terminators too.

Some are even in sealed blisters!

I don't think I'll ever get around to painting them, so they probably end up for sale at some point...

Old school!!!
