Oh wow these guys are much more lively than the CSM of today. The CSM of today are just regular SM with some extra horns or whatever, but these guys are totally different. Nice post on this on Brother Aubec!

today's finding / the world eaters from the 1991 green catalogue : they are pretty beautiful (note that i usually don't love Chaos breed !! Razz

Heh, that first one almost looks like he could be in a heavy metal band playing a guitar!

I've got that version of Ghazghkull!

by TheCrimsonGlass Tue Jun 28, 2011 8:02 am

I must say, that Ghazghkull looks great! Everything else looks cool as well, but I'm really digging Old Man Thraka Razz

by Klomster Tue Jun 28, 2011 2:17 pm

Nothing less on ol commisar yarrik.

Great finds as always.

by GMKDynamis Tue Jun 28, 2011 7:53 pm

Throw in a lead singer Thraka that looks like ozzy osborne, a dozen daemonette groupies and you have a 40k heavy rock band...Marneus Calgar on percussions:lol!:

Don't forget the goff rokkerz.

They are some real metal Razz

Even got the models.

the leader was the one with e kilt and free balls, wasn't he ? Razz

anyway as promised, Xenos (metal Xenos that is Twisted Evil

) :
http://solegends.com/citcat911/c2102genestealers.jpg
with the regreted genestealer's Patriarch and the Magi (plurial of magus ?? Shocked

) so original... and the familiars !!
http://solegends.com/citcat911/c2103genestealers.jpg
the gaunts (known as hunter slayer) with a race formerly associated to the stealers ... the Zoats (Space Zoats in fact because exists a Zoat for Warhammer Fantasy Battle but it's even rarer than the Space one)
http://solegends.com/citcat911/c2105genestealerzoats.jpg

and one of the most beautiful range created by Citadel : The Jes Goodwin Eldars : nothing from those ancient times to nowadays has ever outclassed those fine, characterful and original models (and i hate Elfes and Eldars !! Razz

by Zealadin Wed Jun 29, 2011 8:22 pm

I've had a large amount of those eldar models over the years, but never held onto them

by Klomster Thu Jun 30, 2011 2:17 am

The one called "2 las pistols" still holds up in quality today.

And some of the eldar bitz are the same as today Razz

And some interesting extra thingies, the ghost warriors are mixed feeling with me.
Vampire walker, aw yeah!

by Zealadin Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:58 am

I have to say though Aubec, I prefer the new eldar aspect warriors, the scorpions are pretty stunning, as are the rangers.

you're maybe right brother (though it could be argued Wink

) but for the guardians ... i think there no comparison at all : the new ones are so uniform compared to the old ones ...
and what is very impressive it's the fact that all those models have past 30 years without being outdated (some are still sold !!) affraid

i think that the eldars are the masterpiece of Jes Goodwin.

ok unless you want to see some old Orks ... i'll pass to the 1992 green catalogue for it's Space Marines ... though those are Space Wolfs, they are one of the best SM range ever sculpted (especially the PASM) ... make your opinion :
the wolfguard termies
http://solegends.com/citcat9x3/c92389wolfguard-01.jpg
the characters (with a beautiful Ulrik the Slayer !) and the grey hunters that are anatomically well balanced and adjustable because of the pose that you can give to the arms
http://solegends.com/citcat9x3/c92390spacewolves-01.jpg
the iron priest and servitors (i love the servitors ... for the inquisition Wink

) and the wolfguards in PA who are simply gorgeous !!
http://solegends.com/citcat9x3/c92391spacewolves-01.jpg
the long fangs and blood claws

PS : if you want to see some orks tell me i'll dig further in the 1991 calatogue Wink

by TheCrimsonGlass Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:31 am

Wow Aubec, those actually are some good looking PASM! At least as good as the standard ones produced now...

If you don't mind posting the orks, I would like to see them Smile

by Aubec le noir Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:54 am

ok i will

by Klomster Thu Jun 30, 2011 3:32 pm

You can't let the orks down short.

They are the first army i collected.

by Zealadin Thu Jun 30, 2011 7:55 pm

True Aubec, I missed out on buying some of those original jetbikes ages ago (the harlequin versions) and I also bought a heap of the harlequins at one point from special order. Sadly I traded them away over the years, but the models where great. I still have two painted somewhere!

by Aubec le noir Fri Jul 01, 2011 1:09 am

a friend of mine has all those harlequins and most of the eldar ... he's a Xenophile scum !! Razz

and i must admit the jetbikes are awesome.

ok the Orks (by Kev Adams, drawing ans sculpture ... who were for the Orks like Jes Goodwin for the Eldars : he made the standard)

Wow those are some good looking orks. They also look similar enough to the current ones to use and not stand out too much. Thanks for posting them Aubec!

Orks are cool, their blood on the azure of my Nemisis force sword give it a nice violet haze. Nice pics brother Aubec. tongue

by TheCrimsonGlass Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:29 pm

I really like the weirdboyz. They have more of a tribal shaman look than the current one.

by Aubec le noir Sat Jul 02, 2011 1:37 am

i really enjoyed the look that Kev adams gave to the Orks ... something between malevolant and trisomic ! Twisted Evil

now next part :
some much more choices than today.... there's about 100 bodies plus the arms ... imagine the potential of conversion
