How well do the larger plastic bits work/look on the old 1st and 2nd edition Terminators?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9343732.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9343732.page GMT Metal/plastic Terminator bits question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9343769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9343769.page GMT Metal/plastic Terminator bits question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9343770.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9343770.page GMT Re:Metal/plastic Terminator bits question GW recently released some of the smaller plastic terminators in one of their build+paint kits.

Edit: looked at the build and paint stuff. Looks like the size is right, but now I need to see if I can find just the arm bits of those. Might be tricky since they seem new and not quite distributed yet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9343827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9343827.page GMT Metal/plastic Terminator bits question PM me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9344652.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9344652.page GMT Re:Metal/plastic Terminator bits question
The new terminators are far more enjoyable to paint simply because they're cleaner and more defined, whereas the old metal ones had rounded edges and a lack of detail.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9344833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9344833.page GMT Re:Metal/plastic Terminator bits question

Out of curiosity, why not just buy the plastic terminators?

The old ones have some detail.

I'm just a stickler for antiques. Whenever I have collected stuff, my eye always gravitates towards older stuff because that stuff has history behind them.

Also the newer Terminator miniatures are very expensive, and I already have the older ones so I figure it would be cheaper to make those work rather than buying completely new.

EDIT: Also I found older Terminators for cheap on eBay (~$4-8 a piece compared to 10 a piece for the newer ones retail). Might be the cheapest solution in this case. I'll also eventually get Betrayal at Calth and Burning of Prospero boxes, allowing me to field up to 3 regular and 2 Assault squads if I don't end up running DA.

EDIT EDIT: Found a seller for the new smaller stuff selling for $15 for 5 so I'll do that. Also tempted on some old Deathwing, but I'll wait and see.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9345400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725109/9345400.page GMT
