Love the bell bottoms. This guy is marked as 1986.
As I found him:
This one is marked 1987, best as my eyes can make out. More photos to come once stripped and painted.

This guy arrived to me stripped. Part number 410601 originally and later 070133/62. A Mark Copplestone sculpt. Here’s how he came:
More pics to come as he’s painted.
Here is one of the pre-Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition Space Marine Chaplains I have found. This guy is 410604 and the photos are of as I found him – not yet stripped! Part number 070133/60 later on.
More photos to come once he’s stripped and then painted.
Went with a bit of heavy weathering in a slightly different vein this time around. This tank is a Vindicator Laser Destroyer.
Colours used:
Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
Base coat: Scale75 Artist Black
Zenithal: Scale75 Artist Green Grey
Silver: Scale75 Heavy Metal sponged on
Weathering: Vallejo pigment – Old Rust
Heat bloom: Citadel washes, yellow -> orange -> red -> purple -> blue
Power cables: Scale75 Heavy Metal, Citadel blue wash
Lenses: Scale75 Artist Prussian Blue/Light Ultramarine/Cobalt Blue/Primary Blue with a wash of Talassar Blue
That’s it. It’s pretty quick – next time I’m going to do one that’s a bit more ash-waste and a bit less rusty-tank.
The Master of the Watch is, in Codex compliant chapters, the Captain of the 2nd. Company. This particular mini was cast in metal as part of the Masters of the Chapter set. Apparently the actual company which guarded the fortress monastery was rotated out regularly, but the title remained with the 2nd. Company captain.
This guy I am intending on using as a smash captain – he has a jump pack in his future.
The post is more static than most of the modern captains but I think it should work regardless. Stay tuned…
This chap turned up in a bulk buy and it took me a little while to figure out who he was. I don’t think the aesthetic really suits the nostalgia marine force but I’m eyeing off the storm bolter arm for my Librarian…
Apparently he’s the Games Day limited edition model from 2005. He doesn’t seem to have a lot of info about him that I can find lore-wise, other than the fact that he’s called Veteran Sergeant Aurelius.
This metal sculpt was a limited edition given out at a Games Day – the base says 1991. Apparently it was a Jes Goodwin sculpt.
So many skulls! All over the cloak too:
I think he nicked the sword/scabbard from the original Terminator sergeant.
