As some of you know I've been working my way through a huge box of figs donated to the club, and I cant find any info on these models. I've about 40 of them.

Any info gratefully received.

Cheers

That's a good starting point James, thanks for that it gives me chance. But those are resin, mine are metal and no arms that I can find,

Cheers

They are the same models, they just cast them in resin now. The arms come separate on a plastic sprue with pauldrons and a bolter. You've got the bodies but no arms. Any space marine arms should fit fine.

Edit they are old sculpts that have been kept available for nostalgia's sake, abit like the champions of chaos on the fantasy range.

This looks like them - http://www.solegends.com/citcat1992/cat1992p395marines-02.htm

It's a 1992 catalogue.

They're probably worth a bit too!

**KINGPIN54**

I like the look of them!

I've discovered that they're only worth what someone's prepared to pay for them

. Doesn't the new Calth set now provide them in plastic?

All those Mks are available in one form or another from either FW or B@C. The difference is that those sculpts look practically nothing like the modern sculpts. I dare say somebody would bite your hand off to get those in metal form simply for the collectors value - I know I would if you had the Thunder Warrior from the set

No such luck, but I did find a load of old tallarn figs.
