I wish someone had a link to the old Necromunda House Goliath guy that had the Melta Gun in one hand and a stub pistol in the other. The worst part about that model is what he's wearing on his head. He's got a chainsaw hat. It looks absolutely rediculous. And he's dressed like Sean Connery was in the movie Zardoz.

"Khorne is a noble warrior who respects strength and bravery, who takes no joy in destroying the weak, and considers the helpless unworthy of his wrath. It is said that fate will spare any brave warrior who calls upon Khorne's name and pledges his soul to the blood god. It is also said that Khorne's daemons will hunt down and destroy any warrior who betrays his honour by killing a helpless innocent or murdering in cold blood..."

Strangely no pics of this figure exist in the Solegends database. This is the best one I could;d track down from a quick google image search (though the left arm is converted)

I always thought that the figures are to blame for how the paint set in. It appears as if there'd be weird lines cut into the belly of the Battle Sister. Makes it look as if it was some sort of lid, detachable from the torso. 
Well. At least it shows us how many muscles a Sister hides under all that armour. 
Also, lol @ chainsaw-head
I could see this work in a weird movie a la Mad Max.

the way they sit behind the panels, silly really describes it well. Also oldcrons are old and didn't come after a great grimdark range of models.

The beard is removable BTW. It's a separate piece. At least GW actually saw that some people would think it was a little too silly.

Hell, with GW trying to (in many cases, shamelessly) dig up things from their past, you'd think these gems would make a comeback, but no, they had to bring back fething orange space monkies instead.

I'm expecting an Imperial Knights supplement dedicated to GW's loyalist apologetics. Codex: White Knights "In the grim dark future, everything is fine."
"The argument is that we have to do this or we will, bit by bit,
lose everything that we hold dear, everything that keeps the business going. Our crops will wither, our children will die piteous
deaths and the sun will be swept from the sky."
