My first official trading post!

[Want] 3rd edition original metal space marines.
- 1 Lascannon,
- 1 heavy bolter
- Other heavy weapons if folks have them. I own one plasma cannon, and 2 missile launchers.

- 2 plasma guns
- 4 melta guns
- 2 Sergeants of some kind, (I own 3 power fist guys sarge's and 1 power sword sarge. I don't mind conversions if the body is metal)

- Mentor's decal sheet(s)
- 10 marines worth of close combat weapons. (I have 10 assault marines, but they have more modern plastic arms and I'd prefer the older arms if possible)

I'm open to other things as well including old bikes w/ the rectangular bases or vehicles as long as they're either unpainted or only primed.

About this army:

I wanted to share a project I've been stewing on over the last few weeks. I started miniature painting back with an old box of tiny plastic terminators, a 3rd ed codex, and a dream. As luck would have it over the almost decade of playing I ran into a never painted, almost all metal marine army. I'll never get a chance to see those old armies again, however I could paint one up myself! So with a a bit to much zeal I bought the whole army and am going to make this awesome.

With that in mind they'll be painted in the classic Mentor's color scheme. I have a lot but there's some things I'm missing to round out the squads. If anyone has any of these models I'd love to pick them up from you if you're willing to indulge in my project.

Decal's and the paper banners are a bit concerning. if I can't find those for Mentor's I may switch to something else.

My list is based on the old posters and books with a cmd squad in a razorback and foot infantry supporting. If anyone has ideas for things to add I'd love feedback.

The army so far. These are not for sale but to give you an idea of what I'm looking to find while working to build this classic army.

Thanks everyone!

Just for clarity, most of the all metal figs you're showing are actually 2nd edition figs and not 3rd. That includes the characters (minus the termie captain), termies, devs, and standard marines. I hope that helps in finding them. I got into 40k in 3rd and most of my original core marine army was built with those earlier then less popular figs. Good luck regardless and hope that clarification helps!

Edit: lol autocorrect keeps changing termie to termite!

Ive got 2 2/3rd Edition Devastator models w no weapons / Arms.Would take an offer,Not gunna use them for my marines.
