@edbradders: why not just use 30K Kharn as 40K Kharn???
he has the same weapons loadout, and looks badass...

Oh, I intend on doing. Already bought the model and he's in the first stages of assembly/painting

I'm also planning on using 30k marines as berserkers but painted in their heresy era colours.

good call

@AndrewGPaul: i don't care if Ragnar doesn't get spiked boots anymore...
he has been one of my favorite characters since his introduction, and the 2nd ed. book is still my favorite SW Codex...
Bill King's fiction, and Mark Gibbon's art, yes please!!!
like i said, though, i just want GW to give us a new sculpt, KISS boots or no...

@BrotherSRM: hahahahaha...
i'm 41, and bought these flat bastards as new releases...
they made me just as sad back then...
Ulrick the Slayer, Commander Dante, and the Iron Priest have stood the test of time better than Njal, Ragnar, and Meph did...

@casvalremdeikun: Pedro is a badass sculpt!!!
i really enjoyed painting him (check him out in my gallery)...

Captain Karlaen looks like he just pooped his Termie armor...
i've given him a pass...
i'm happy with Sgt. Lorenzo from Space Hulk...

i'll be painting Krom as Krom, but i am daydreaming about converting Kor'sarro as Ragnar...
just enough swagger in the sculpt...

cheers

@welshhoppo: i'll be painting Huron as a Dornian Heresy Blood Angel, where the events of the Horus Heresy are flipped, and the BA went over to Nurgle...

Not to be a prick or anything but wouldn't it make more sense if heretic Blood Angels worshiped Khorne?

maybe...
i didn't write the Dornian Heresy, so i can't say...
maybe that was too obvious a choice...
iirc, the White Scars are the Khorne worshippers...
either way, the backpack and beat up armor will be cool for a Nurgle BA conversion...

Edit: i remember now, it is the Space Wolves who are the Khorne worshippers in the Dornian Heresy...
White Scars went to Slaanesh...

cheers

Kharn, Khorne berserkers, ragnar, mephiston, ork boyz.

All 2nd edition monstrosities.

The plastic Berserkers and Ork Boyz are third edition...

Dornian Heresy-
Blood Angels are Nurgle, White Scars are Slaanesh, Raven Guard are Tzeentch, Space Wolves are Khorne, Iron Hands are Omnissiah.

All these people are talking about hipsters who don't appreciate the old models, but honestly I think people who have armies of old models like myself are the gaming equivalent of people who still buy vinyl

You know there is a GW's worst models thread right?

For other models.... The new DE lord. Just looks.... Odd. He's standing there with crossed arms very statue like. One would think a DE leader and character would be more dynamic. Like the Lilith model.

I have the metal Archon and the new plastic one. I really like him, but I used the model for the Archon with blaster build.

This is only for gak poses tho, a model can be extremely well done but posed in an unattractive way.

Like a lot of the new Space Marine captains?
