This dude right here. This was awesome, despite the sword looking like it won't even cut butter.

Acutally that is a very nicely painted Hero Quest Gargoyle....

And I MEAN nicely painted, I've tried paint several over the years (for some reason they crop up a lot in bitz collections), they are butt ugly and hard to paint well....

These guys right here:

And yet they are the first Plastic's GW EVER put out so they remain favourites of many people, despite looking so dorky and being so plain to paint....

Just a small point, but that's not quite right.

GW's (or Citadel's) first plastics were 60mm figures for the Fighting Fantasy game, released in 1985-ish.

The Beetleback Warlord. There is just no reason at all, why I find those utterly mis-proportioned guys always getting back into my collection. The sculpts are most likely the ugliest GW ever manufactured... I mean, even the legs have different lengths óO

These badasses right here.

Polite request - this is one of my store images. While I'm happy for it to be used in forums, please either say where it's from, [URL="http://store.wargamingtrader.com/item/m2494ws"]link to the source[/URL], or at an absolute minimum don't crop out the freaking watermark...




Meanwhile on topic (ish)...

Yep, and between those and the plastic Beakies there were the Psychostyrene Dwarfs and Drastik Plastic Orcs:



I have fond memories as a teenager of deciding that all the spare arms that were included needed to be used, added an extra four arms to one and calling it a Chaos Spawn...

EDIT - sorry, double post...

Ok Smart ***, the first 40k Plastics then

I always forget about the FF minis, though I thought they were metal?

I'm planning to do an "UGLY MARINES" army, i have these so far and the Terminator Librarian pictured above, and i'm not doing any improwements on them save for the usual mold line removal. I need to "downgrade" some stuff to feel complete, i'm intent to do some dreadnoughts by filing down the details off FW Contemptor dreads and filling up the carvings with GS to match these Marines. The weapons would be the classic Space Crusade Dread weapons.
