The Imperial Guard looks like they belong in GI Joes? I.G. Joe, that's it.

I'm looking to learn to play Rogue Trader actually, it still holds up pretty well as a sci-fi skirmish wargame with heavy RPG elements.

loads of those are conversions though

New minis look better and are generally better overall

>>old miniatures look terr-
A lot of those do tbqh, they just have good paint jobs

>posts Centurions, however nicely painted by garfy

What does it feel like being an idiot?

Really? Maybe I will give it a shot

Every single one of those miniatures is awful.

nah, the rocker with the shotgun looks good. Though I can't find the exact model. I see the shotgun arm on other models so it's probably a custom model. I wonder how much of it is actually from old miniatures.

Where are you located at? I have Imperial Army and Space Marine armies, and a small Eldar force

I've got some of these in my garage somewhere, should probably dig them out and repaint them or at least sell them

>that whole fucker is white metal
Imagine transporting it anywhere, holy hell

I wonder if they had any idea back then how things would turn out...

...

I dunno, some of this new stuff seems a tad silly in comparison to even babydreads.

...

Old paint jobs didn't do old sculpts many favours it's true. But is also undeniable that a lot of those old sculpts were janky as fuck to begin with.

Looking at you Battletech.

Too bad the game is moving back in the aesthetic direction of Rogue Trader/2nd edition (Especially with Chaos Marines)

3rd/4th edition babbies lost, stay mad

Okay, seriously.
If you were taking that picture, wouldn't you tell him about his collar first?

Found a pic of Fred Reed's converted Chaos Thunderhawk from 1996.

The story around it is a GW urban legend:

"Aaaah yeah another one, this about Fred Reed (for those who remember him). Apparently at one meeting way back the company was looking to reward Fred for his hard work and gave him the option of a night out at a strip club or a metal thunderhawk gunship kit (yes it was that long ago).

Fred is reputed to have said 'I'll take the Thunderhawk and get the missus to do a strip tease!'

Smart man. I wonder where that Thunderhawk is now.

Hope he brings the bike when he goes to fight the Justice League

Funny thing, that model was in one of my old middleschool science textbooks. I think it was about lead poisoning or something.

thats a kitbash from an aos kit.

Damn, even the machine making 40k minis looks ripped straight out of 40k

>A whole Space Marine chapter is really, really big!

And yet smaller than a single Brigade Combat Team...
