But discovering the Little Sisters was great, and I always love the batshit insane 40k stuff that was around in the 80s.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624491160014232874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-46935430974344374792021-07-04T22:52:23.775-04:002021-07-04T22:52:23.775-04:00I wasn't aware of this chapter but GW should r...I wasn't aware of this chapter but GW should revisit it. I know they have the Eschers in Necromunda but female space marines sounds cool and a nice compliment to Sisters of Battle too. Great job converting and painting these up!Kuribohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142002129545901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-50227294393470016312021-07-04T06:10:02.727-04:002021-07-04T06:10:02.727-04:00Or a casualty figure!! so you were one short for a...Or a casualty figure!! so you were one short for a full squad 🙄<br /><br />The Christmas Marines were cool, I really should have bought that pack at the time!Dick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-3972712066996141652021-07-03T10:45:20.834-04:002021-07-03T10:45:20.834-04:00After a quick shufty online it seems they were lim...After a quick shufty online it seems they were limited edition models, like the drunk Christmas Marines or the Kinky Chaosette. <br /><br />I remember those old blister packs of metal minis, and the despair when you found one that had one figure you really wanted and two you already owned :-)Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624491160014232874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-18910959258803587432021-07-03T10:39:38.485-04:002021-07-03T10:39:38.485-04:00I vaguely remember those models in White Dwarf but...I vaguely remember those models in White Dwarf but never really had any interest in them at the time. In the Little Sisters' case just love how a different company looked at WH40k and thought, "You know what this game needs? Chicks in armour" LOL! I like the idea and they were fun to make although a lot more effort than should have been necessary.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624491160014232874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-5069169304457044252021-07-03T06:53:24.842-04:002021-07-03T06:53:24.842-04:00Great work Matt, I noticed recently that GW were t...Great work Matt, I noticed recently that GW were trying to incorporate this idea again recently, my memory on it is a bit vague, as I only gave it a glance, as it wasn't anything I was likely to do. <br />Roger is spot on with his description of the two old models, and were released in the early days of Rogue Trader, you could mail order them individually, or hope to find a blister pack with them both in, as you had a random selection from the range in the pack.Dave Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398737478468720431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-90375787457535443292021-07-03T05:41:01.118-04:002021-07-03T05:41:01.118-04:00They look really good to me, I remember there were...They look really good to me, I remember there were two metal "lady" space marines produced waaaay back when, they were much thinner than their mate counterparts and were both bare headed, one with long hair and a bolter the other with a mohawk bolter and sword I (think), but I don't think they were sold in a space marine pack, but were marketed under the "Rogue trader" or "talisman" banners (Dave will know more on this I'm sure).<br /><br />I had them both, but I think I passed them on to my Brother in-law, back when he was building a Space marine force. (otherwise I'd take a couple of pic's for you).<br /><br />Interesting stuff mate. Cheers Roger.Dick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.com
