Seems like a big split, either old 80s stuff or new (last 5 years) stuff!
Interesting what that says about demographics here!

First miniature model I ever bought was a Landraider. Fell in love with them playing Dawn of War. Landraiders are the whole reason I started playing Space Marines

I play:
1000 pt  Sons of Calthus

Mine was an old Snakebite Boarboy, followed by some old metal Ork Boyz (I still have one of them) and a Deathskulls Warboss.
I then got the 2nd edition starter and started playing Blood Angels. I still have all of them.

I cant recall the exact miniature, or even it was produced by GW, but it was a bretonnian knight sort of model on a steed. The horse was plastic and the figure pewter. This was back during the second edition....long long time ago, before I was able to grow face hair
