If people like I'm happy to share a few more Specialist games over the next week or so.

Absolutely. Especially any other Inquisitor minis. That range was a great and characterful look into the 'back alleys' of 40K. Gregor Eisenhorn is a particular high point. Thanks!

Ask and you shall receive. Here's a few more, with a Catachan for scale. First up is Witchhunter Tyrus. Whatever you do, don't look at his mold lines!




A never-quite-finished Delphan Gruss. Not sure what happened to his maniples, he looks a bit naked without them.




An unpainted Eversor.




And a generic Bounty Hunter.





I've got to dig through a bit but between my brother and I we also have the Desperado, the Acro-Flagellent, the Imperial Cultist with Eviscerator, the Chaos Magus, and the Daemonhost. I believe the latter two remain in San Diego where I was planning on turning them into daemon princes. @Waaagh_Gonads, yer Magus is out of the park. Such exciting, bright colors. He looks properly scary and unhinged.

Sorry, this just reminded me so much of this old thing:

Wow Tin-Boyz. Those are very old...

Odds and ends that don’t fit into armies. Not even sure I could muster a troupe out of the harlis there. Might have some more unpainted in a box somewhere. My metal Pile of Shame is a lot more segmented and untamed than the plastic side.

Holy crap, the Tin Boyz are awesome!
There is no other cybork body for me now!

My input to the tread...












I have three RT era whirlwinds in bits being stripped but they aren't in a photogenic state right now



Keep up with the OOP stuff, this is a great thread!

=][= Eversor. Don't see those every day. Tin Boyz 4 life. Thanks for sharing, everyone. Keep it coming.

I can contribute some more Inq54.

Deleted.

Helldorado Demon Dog, rebased for 54mm Inquisitor.
The flesh in its mouth is toilet paper, PVA glue to cover and red paint with blood for the blood god to finish.

Well, since we seem to have come to the =][= portion of the tour, I may as well put these guys up. When Inquisitor came out, I was all on board. Awesome models, sweet fluff, open style character creation and gameplay. Then we realized what sort of investment that meant for terrain, planning, and one of our group went out and bought 5 Space Marines to be his force. Aaaand...that was it. For myself, I was still quite into the models and enjoyed converting them, but then, as used to happen more often back then, I didn't have the stones to carry through with painting. So these remain in their unpainted state, and others are still unassembled. One day, maybe.

There is a large after-market/third-party market for notInquisitor54 miniatures. I've seen some shops selling whole lines of alternate 54mm "Grimdark" style miniatures.

Which in particular? I know Reaper and Hasselfree have both done 54mm miniatures on occasion, but it seems to me to be a bit of a neglected scale.

Appreciating all the old metal here, especially the Inq minis. And yeah, those tinboyz are a treat.

I bought the only =][= miniatures I ever saw. Not the one I wanted, the SM, but I thought 54 must be easier to paint than 28. I was going to kitbash them but the parts were too hard IMHO. I've still got them NIB in the garage.

I’ve got the 2 on the right kicking around somewhere. The far right guy in the robe in part of Ral Partha’s leveling up character line. Cleric. Mid level guy in chainmail, mace I think. High level guy in plate with a bigger weapon.

Sure, but a pity i do not have a macro lens.

All four are from the 1983 dragon catalogue

Tim the Enchanter! Is that you?

Sorry for putting you to the trouble, but much appreciated SirDonlad. (And Nevelon) Nifty minis, some nice cloth sculpting going on there. I especially like 'Wizard casting a spell'.

Some 3E Grey Knight Terminators I recently finished!





These are among my favorite models GW has ever made, and I basically built the army just for them over the course of...several editions

I've got one squad of the newer plastics that I use as Paladins since they're visually distinguishable (there's a blurry partial of one in the lower right corner of the bottom pic), but I really like these older 3E dudes a lot.

I am also *really* over painting purity seals.

Hot damn! They look fantastic. I am also very fond of those models - the first game of 40k I ever played was against a beautifully painted Grey Knights army. Needless to say I got stomped pretty badly, but I've always loved their look.

Here’s a few from my gallery as I’m far from home where most of the cool stuff is.

Put together a 1,500 point list for a game today. With the exception of the one HB gunner (who is in full Mk VI armor) the entire list is RT era minis.

Deleted.

Being a 3rd generation mini painter I actually have a few gems that have been passed down to me, mostly from my grandmother who has impeccable taste in getting an impressive number of Grenadier dragons. I need to get to the ones I've finished to take pics but here's a beautiful wrist-breaker my grandma never got to painting and has been taunting me for a few years now:



Grenadier special edition 2528 Giant Griffon, sculpted by William Watt.
Identified via base markings and the “Lost Minis Wiki”. Current GW Cadian grenadier for scale.

Ooh, lovely. I always loved Long Drong and his pirates, their pantaloons and beards reminded me of Asterix the Gaul.

Wow, thanks for sharing Nevelon! Really happy to know that whole armies exist out there, and great painting to boot. The one Mark VI marine looks like someone who showed up to the wrong costume party but everyone's too polite to turn him away. Any shots of the game?

That’s one awesome Griffon ChaoticMind! Your grandma clearly had taste in minis.

Loving Vaktathi’s Grey Knights too, really cool minis, painted excellently. A great old school army!

About to start turn 4 now. Took a break for dinner. I have pics, will post later.

The new guy was part of my army modernization project, circa 5-6th edition. Almost all of my tac squads were the classic ML/Flamer loadout. I wanted to update, so I didn’t need to change guys out from the swap shelf every game. But I also didn’t want to have a “modern” mark mixed up in the RT squads. So his squad got a HB and a combi flamer sarge both meticulously assembled in classic beakie armor.

You should get an old RT heavy weapon marine and a heavy bolter for him to truly complete the list.

Thanks for showing off, all. Howard, love that headless ghost!

I do have spare RT guns kicking around, and bodies in parts/soaking. It would not be hard to do.

If I put my mind to it, I could also get another 5 man terminator squad done, and have more HQs in the wings. Not sure if I could do a 2k list. It might be stretching it a bit. It would get harder and harder to deal with hard targets, as the bulk of my firepower is assorted missile launchers. I put this list together because I noticed that I had enough bodies to do a battalion, 50 guys on the table.

I’ll upload the pics later and do a write up in my blog. It was a very close game. I was in the lead for most of it, but at the end of the game, it came down to a single die roll.

Thanks for sharing, Nevalon!

As promised, here's my Redemptionists. The one on the far left I painted on Saturday; every other model probably has a twelve or thirteen-year-old paintjob. Boy howdy, but paints must have been thicker back then!




In retrospect, I don't think I ordered the Redemptionist starter box - I seem to remember ordering them piece-meal. The priest I have is different from the one in the starter box, I believe.
