Lead poisoning!


Flashback Friday is that way. I almost snapped a picture of an old RT rhino box I’ve got in the basement. I had the camera in hand even. But thought it was too much effort for a gag.

Maybe next moth we can have “Relic” as an option. See how much old lead gets dragged out for fresh paint.
Blast from the Past would be a great theme, we might even see Squats surfacing.

Was struggling with ideas on what I could complete this month as I'll be spending less time than normal on my entry. Was going to just skip this month but then had a perfect idea.

It involves eldar and redoing my paint scheme for them, that or redo the scheme I started several years ago! Proof pics over the weekend.

Woah guys! Way to make a guy feel old.

I bought that when it was new with the FW conversion components at Games Day. At the time it was the only way to get a Vindicator. You lucky people can just go and buy an all plastic set now.

I even have a pair of original 1st ed terminators my brother gave me when he got bored of them (silly boy). I keep them in my painting box as a memento, I won't ever paint them.

Expect more dated packaging while I'm still around. I got a cupboard full!

I do like the impalely plow personally, but I don't know if I will paint it bloody or leave it as metal. Also considering doing some pre primer battle damage to it.

Bloody is a bit too obvious on the spikes IMO. Like the idea of damage pre-priming.

And now for all you kids out there:

And that was also bought from new

Now I'm only 32, so don't start imagining I was alive when the first created the TV, but see how times change.

Hey where did you get that sweet forgeworld rhino?

Yeah I think the blood would be obvious, so just some bullet holes I think for the rhino.

That is cool. Pardon my ignorance, but is that a Rogue Trader-era kit, or is it second edition? I have seen some models with similar-looking boxes on eBay before (some of them not too expensive), so I wondered if it would be cool to collect and use in games.

Missed the thread.

Count me in.

Not sure what I'll do yet. Probably not enough time to convert up a vehicle from my 40k bits AND paint it but... at the very least I'll come up with something.

Worst case... I'll repaint a z95 to have the shark/monster teeth for N'dru Suhlak.

Yeah that is an early edition rhino. I do not believe it is legal to play anymore because it has different dimensions that the new rhino sculpt.

The old rhino served from RT until the one we have now. Lots of re-boxings over the years though (for both). As for the legality of it, that’s a kettle of fish, but I’ve never received anything but compliments for the pair of mine I field. Someone, somewhere might complain about MFA, but it’s an official GW model. And my RTB01 marines always feel at home there.

Lots of awesome entries this month. Going to be a photo finish!

@Ruberu - Brilliant choice!

@Drakheart - that must have been a work of love building that

@Nevelon - Yeah, kind of what I figured. Talking about that rhino is making me think about the 5 model rule for the challenge....

Funny, I really can't see why it's upside down either. Have tried multiple software and I cannot get it to be inverted, always right side up.
