Pretty cool Cool

Looks like you had to supply your own "wing skin"
Pretty awesome, definitley a lot different than what is required to assemble models in the GW range today.

by Klomster Mon Oct 24, 2011 9:02 am

That is alot of pieces.

And here we young noobs are today and complain about models not beeing plastic.

I remember getting a bunch of those old school imperial stormtroopers as a prize for winning some big participation game at the Slough GW store. I played a genestealer cult so it was the closest they could find for me I think.

The next year I went and won their Bloodbowl Trophy. Good times long past Sad
