Your first 40K Mini

[Jams O'Donnell]

I wish so much I still had any of my old models, but my first mini was Mr. Heavy Laser here: [url]http://www.solegends.com/citrt/c100marines-01.htm[/url]

He was painted head to toe an a very thick coat of red paint, with a terrible black smear approximately where the weapon is.

Here's my offering:



On the left is my oldest surviving mini, a Blood Angels librarian. On the right, we have a mini so new it isn't quite done yet: a Knights of Blood dreadnought. The funny thing is that my Blood Angels are gradually being stripped and turning into Knights of Blood. My oldest is becoming my newest. There's something kind of poetic about that.

Also, I'm glad I posted this. Man, am I ever getting better at this hobby!

This would be one of my oldest, out of that first group of marines I painted from the plastic box set of marines. Side note oldest was a Rap Partha D&D figure, not sure where that monstrosity is hiding.
