Terminator Time

[Born_Too_Late]

For me, the RT Terminators are the best sculpt, and nothing will ever change my mind there. But I'm also quite fond of the 2nd ed metal ones so I use them interchangeably (I've even gone so far as to put some 2nd ed arms on RT bodies, although it did make me feel a bit queasy).

The Ultramarine RT Librarian was the first mini I painted over 30 years ago and would the one I'd rescue from a fire, after the kids etc. were safe.

As an aside, if GW insist on sculpting lightning bolts onto minis, I will paint them like Aladdin Sane

Also just realised I forgot to paint the replacement hammer I got 3D printed so please ignore that!

They are great!! Pretty sure I recall GW mixing up the different editions sculpts in armies too.

Very Nice!

They look great. I've had to mix and match a few arms here and there to make up full models, just what us tech marine artificers have to do every now and then!

I like the flame on the heavy flamer guy's shoulder pad.

The Ultramarine Chaplin’s banner is brutal!

I always assumed the 2nd Ed Terminators fairly directly derived from the original models (a bit like the 2nd Mk VII marines derived from the late Rogue Trader Mk VII models).

They’re brilliantly painted though, very inspiring!
