I never really liked these mini's much, but having got some and painted them I feel they do have a certain charm and look a lot better on 40mm bases. I like details like the bulging targeter eyes and the vicker's machine gun stylings. I didn't feel there was a lot I could do to them though, they are just metal bulks after all, so I got a little lazy and copied the scheme from WD218, and had a good read of it too







Thanks for looking

Those look awesome!! I prefer these models to the current ones TBH
Great job

Do these hav guns pointing out of their mouth? ^^

Those are so cool! Paintjob does them justice.

Actually I used to agree with you, but you managed to turn them into really nice minis!!

I don't know why, maybe it's the 40mm base (for some unknown reason?)...

Their heads are pretty cool too...

I like them, they really have more of an Iron Warriors feel to them than the current ones.

I still have the white dwarf from when these guys came out!

Christ, they must have been done by the same guy who modelled the OOP Necron Immortals. I didn't fully read your post, just went straight to the images and I could have sworn you'd made some Obliterators from OOP Immortals!

Love them mate!

Looks great. The paintjob actually adds a lot of character to them. These would fit better into an iron warriors force then the current edition, so copying this paint scheme (and excecuting it perfectly if I might add) was a good choice. I actually like these better then the current ones with this paintjob. Thanks for sharing, it's always fun to see some oldskewl stuff floating around

Nice job!

I've got one of those in a bitz box somewhere, might have to dig him out!

Those are awesome! I love the classic look of 40k sometimes!

Thanks guys, the comments are much appreciated for my painting esteem
