digging the archeovaults of GW

sorry for the double post but i have finished my diggings for 40k
should i continue for epic and Fantasy Battle ? or no.
it's up to you folks !
Aubec

Hell NO, I mean please no... mommy make the bad man stop. Just kidding brother Aubec, to see the past once more... makes us grateful that it stays in the past

LOL!

I am enjoying the fruits of your labour Brother!
Keep it coming

Go for Epic - I'd love to see some of the old Titans again.

ok ... i'm digging further !
Aubec

We must see it allllllll!!!!!!

Great stuff, and it's always appreciated Brother Aubec!

Great, brother... you just unleashed the Aubec beast! Now we have to call Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and Gamera.

I unleashed him?! You may notice that this thread is 16 pages long. The beast was released long ago

I think he's more like a tortured animal of testing that was slowly introduced to a diet of caffiene, steroids, redbull max, radioactive isotopes, ripfuels and neuropsyker juice... we just let him out of his cage. You think this 16 page thread is long, wait till it triples.

IT WON'T BE ENOUGH BROTHER !! MOUAHAHAHAH !
I'M EMPEROR'S WRATH ! HIS FAITHFUL FIST AGAINST ALL THOSE WHO HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT WAS THE HOBBY AND THE PLEASURE OF PAINTING A BEAUTIFUL METAL MODEL !!
...

or i'm just pleased to walk the ways of the past, again.

Aubec

LOL, Loving-it Out Loud. It's really nostalgic and refreshing. I remember them very well brother Aubec and thank you for your time and patience to represent the wonderful past that once was. It's like time travelling and seeing how things have changed... for better or worse, that is in the opinion of the viewer.

ah yeah metal models. half of my army still consists of it. i will never, ever throw them away or exchange them. i even use a 6 man GKSS squad with full halberds and psybolt ammo (150 points) just for the nostalgic/fluff in every game

come on brother aubec, bring us some more goodness pretty please.

on a sidenote.. i just found some of the old plaque marines in my cellar. god those guys are so damn ugly... everyone looking the same with their pointy little knife in the left hand.

the first rogue trader ad ... note the look of the ship ... they had'nt decided of the gothic look of the ship we now have !

So awesome Love it!

It is interesting that the Titans really haven't changed that much.

The warhound is a bit different.

But the reaver.... same.

Same with eldar titans.

Love the elf with a laser pistol

Funny that it was only recently the titans dissapeared from the shops.

well ... this is the 1989 catalogue ... 22 years ago !!
Aubec

One year younger than me

I love the knights, they are sweet.

They should remake them, give them a beuty make-over and sell them via forge world, like the reaver which turned out awesome.

Gotta love the hellbore

i don't think that will happen, because of the fluff :
GW has imagined a "tech war" that cause the interdiction of the AI and every technology that could became independant and cause havock in Humanity. that's the main reason of the Adeptus Mechanicus cult (even if rumours said that they possess a real AI in Mars... )
so subsequently, i don't think that we'll see robot in the near future !
Aubec

Those knights are pretty sweet, especially the paladins. Of course, then we would have fights over whether the GK pallies or the mech pallies are cooler

What, might I ask, did the hellbore do? "Dig underground to take the enemy by surprise!!"

well ... for the hellbore : something like that !!
Aubec

That's fantastic haha. It remind me of the "Nydus Network" that the Zerg use in Starcraft 2 (if anyone here is familiar with that).
