  • 1994 Techmarine metal sculpt – vintage Space Marines – 70085/2

    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.

  • Warhammer 40K Metal Techmarine from Command Box 1998

    Some oldhammer! Or is this middlehammer? I lose track. This Games Workshop Warhammer 40K Techmarine was released as part of the Company Command box set a month 3rd edition hit, apparently – which would put him at being released in late 1998. Still using the same metal backpack as the older 2nd Ed. Techmarines, his sculpt is a mirror of the Captain with Terminator Honours and various others. It’s a Jes Goodwin sculpt.

    In the 2004 US catalogue this miniature is part number 010110305 with backpack 010107503 and axe/hand 010110306.

    I was painting the metal guys up as a Raven Guard successor when I got him, so he has been stripped for repainting in blue. The RG successor scheme:

    Classic Metal Techmarine Sculpt from Warhammer 40K painted in a Raven Guard Successor Chapter scheme. From 2nd Edition.

    All painted using Scale75 with the exception of some washes and a contrast – in the scheme of a Raven Guard sucessor that is as yet unnamed. Back when I was playing 2nd. Ed I called them the Harbingers, but that name is actually a canon chapter now (perhaps it was then too) so I need to find another.
