Long time since I posted last, but the Terminators are on hold, so I did this guy.
Stripped and re-done as a gift for my buddy's IG army.

Accidentally bought a copy of 2nd Ed box set a few months back, in it were these guys:
Now repainted as Deathwatch - first proper Citadel minis I've painted since the '90s, quite pleased with the results!
Full post here for those interested:

Nice. The previous owner didn't do too bad either - very 2nd edition, as if right out of the painting instructions from the box!

Gotta love the old quintessential plugga -bolter marines. Never felt a space marine army was quite complete without at least a handful of those fellas.

I was just thinking about it; this would be a great monthly painting challenge for the board. Just a basic "buy the worst thing you can find on eBay and save it" challenge.

that actually does sound really cool!
although "buy the worst thing you can find on ebay"...oh boy, there's some real doozies on there...I've seen things that would probably take at least the full month just to strip

Some great rescues been done since I last looked.

Well, I really meant "a previously painted or assembled" model, but...you know what I mean! Honestly it could just be a model you've already painted but have stripped down to repaint, etc.

No, it’s a shadow sword kit from the very early 90s, back when armorcast had the license. The image you posted is the forgeworld kit, which was much more detailed (and valuable)

Yep, though the old Shadow Sword was built on the same resin chassis - it had a plug and play style center right?

These were so caked in paint and varnish they came to me at less than $1 a figure.

Wonderful stuff. I'm still perusing eBay for the occasional metal to buy and re-do...need to find some. I actually paint less now when I'm not rescuing something!

OMG this thread is great, should get pinned.
I love the idea and the work from everyone. You can feel the mini love.
Wish I had my old minis when I first started..

I'm just sad that my Eldar army is so large, I don't need to buy more miniatures at the moment. I'll start looking for Warhammer Fantasy stuff to do for a dungeon crawl or something!

Well haven't finished the base yet (such as it is) but here's another rescue for the shelter.
Picked them up in this sad old state.
And stripped them off.
Not too bad of a job, I've seen much worse. A case of neglect more than over enthusiasm.
So I got to cleaning and assembling and painting and...
Pretty happy with this fella. Nice mini with plenty of character, can't go wrong really. That other guy though... What is that they say about polishing a turd?
