waiting to see the old sentinel

**JD21290**

92, from the avatar i take it you have the red gobbo

got his faithful banner bearer?

**92acclude**

I do have the red gobbo (maybe 2) and i did pick up the banna wava and the head honcho, neither of which are painted though.

I also have a brand new set of gorkamorka and digganob, a new copy of dark millenium.

The list goes on and on.

**JD21290**

lol, love the old digganobz, great for cyborks.
and still look up to date

Some of my old school figures: http://www.kan.org/michael/mkp/gallery_01.php

**pox**

how about some orks?

battle wagon

**92acclude**

Great stuff, interesting to see the old stuff painting with a newer color palette.

**JD21290**

love the old wagon

still looks great now a days.

ifurita, whats the liz? looks wicked

the old chaos model doesent look too dated, would make a nice exalted / aspiring cham.

**JD21290**

ok, so its not that old, but i got bored at my friends house and he let me lose with a little GS and some spare ogre parts

and a quick 2 notes;

1: using GS is hard with a cast on.
2: its harder when he has lost or painted parts :K

**Ifurita**

The lizard is a Chaos Snakeman

**Gitkikka**

This thread needs more Leman Russ.

Painted about 10 years ago or so - sorry about the picture quality, I seem to have misplaced my lightbox.

And what was I thinking with those green rimmed bases?

**92acclude**

I might as well throw a link to my 2nd edition ork log in here.

I'm trying for 1-2 updates a week.

**grey_death**

Ok folks, lets stay on topic. If you have issues with another poster, go to PM's. And let's also remember that insults are unacceptable.

Great old school stuff coming out of hiding for this one. Let's keep it going.

You were thinking "SECOND EDITION WHOO!" I swear everything GW pumped out had green rimmed bases, regardless of terrain.

I've gotta get some pics of my dusty old orks. Back in the day I started making a Gorkamorka mob out of the old German stormtrooper style stormboy figs. Going to have to slip into the way back machine, Sherman...

**Ifurita**

**JD21290**

thanks grey

ive allways kept the edges of my bases black, doesent look right otherwise.

ifurita, where are you getting all these?
love the old baal the faceless model and the globadier.

I've been playing on and off since '87.

**JD21290**

ah, says it all
i was tempted to order alot of the old chaos models to make a unit of chosen, but not sure if they even sell them from the GW store anymore, if not it might be an ebay job once i got it working again.

**Ifurita**

They certainly are around. I just sold off a bunch of Chaos renegades and heavy weapons about 6 months ago. They're all metal so it simple enough to strip them down. Personally, I like the older metals than the current plastics, but was selling stuff off to make room. The skaven I've had for ages. Sold off the metal rank and file, but kept most of the globadiers, warpfire throwers, jezzails, and heros.

**JD21290**

i was thinking about buying araball the undefeated, great model even if it is ancient.

from new - old mini's i think they ruined the bloodletters, the old ones werent too bad, thenew ones look pretty much the same as these, but they messed up my making the prevous ones, they looked amazing, but somehow manged to ruin them now.
thinking about getting a box of beastmenand mre GS and try and make them.
