Hey Everyone,

I'm fairly new to the 40K universe and I play mainly Tyranids. That being said, I just bought a bunch of old models from a guy which contained a few models that I can't figure out. I'm completely new to Space Marines and even my friend who plays them is having some trouble determining who/what these models are... In the posted pic I have 4 models.. two of which are the same model.

The guy I got them from thought these were the following..
- Force Commander
- Chaplain
- Librarian
But he was a kid when he used them and has all sorts of weird combinations of pieces on the other models... so I'm kind of lost.

But I don't know if he's right and I really don't think he is... Please help me identify these models....

I'm thinking that
1. Librarian with power sword
2. Chaplain
3.Maybe Veterains w power axe's???

Again, these models are old, so they probably look different now then they did then... help!!

Nearly. You got the first two right, but numbers 3 and 4 are Space Marine Captains

**Kurgash**

The last two look like Black Templar Marshals.

Also, I recommend you ask someone about cleaning off those models before painting. Seems like they might need it.

**alexpwalsh**

Yeah, the guy who had them before me didnt really take care of his stuff... I've got a lot of cleaning and fixing to do in order to make some of the models useable....

**juraigamer**

You also need to add two hands with pistols to the captains, and I swear I see some leftover sprue on the chaplains backpack at least.

**Jaon**

The ones on the right could easily be honourguard.

**Asherian Command**

I love those models so much.

Solved!!!

This guy has an extensive list of almost (if not all) Space Marine units ever!

1. I was right about the Librarian
For the others see http://kofler.dot.at/40k/marines_others.html
2. Imperial Fist Chaplain
3 & 4: are Black Templar Marshal's

Thanks to everyone for the help... and yeah, I'm going to clean these guys up before I put ANY paint on them...

^^^ "Marshals" not "Marshal's" - the apostrophe isn't necessary, as it's a plural not possessive.

Those models are Space Marine commanders, and not specific to Black Templars in any way. I got one and it was called the GW birthday captain or something akin to that. Really you could use it for anything though.

**timetowaste85**

Huh, I was going to guess the first was an old Thousand Sons mini-until I looked closer at the headpiece

It was originally released as a BT Marshal. Later re-released as a generic Captain.
