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.
Another metal mini picked up for the nostalgia force – this is yet another Techmarine, which is in the mid-90s catalogues as Techmarine 2 70085/2:
Still a bit of the decayed foam stuck to him and a little bit of green on his back, but on the whole he’s a good pickup for the force.
Going back to the glorious days of shoulder-mounted Devastator squad heavy weapons – here I have three Devastator metal bodies to add to the nostalgia metal marine force…
…and a mixture of later Devastator bodies, Tacticals and Assault Marines.
There’s a Sergeant Telion and a Sergeant Chronus in there too!
Picked up this guy to add to the nostalgia metal force – one of the original Eversor Assassins from 1995.
Looking forward to getting some paint on him.
This vintage Imperial Assassin with Combi Weapon from Rogue Trader came into my possession. Part number 072117/28.
I can’t find who designed it – the 1991 catalogue I can find this mini in just says “Designed by the Citadel Design Team”.
Looks like GW 1989 on the back to me. I can find it in the 1991 Citadel catalogue under Forces of the Imperium.
Stripped:
A 360degree video of it:
A Bob Naismith sculpt! Part number 070121/46 in the later catalogues.
Still a little bit of paint to strip on him, and the square base is just whatever I had laying around with which to stand him on.
Keen to put some paint on him!
