The vehicles are of course festooned with details from Troll under the Bridge/chaostemple.cz (purity seals, door fleurs-de-lys, and front hatch emblem) and Wargame Exclusive (book).
The storage box is metal, from my bits box. I have several more of these and no idea where they came from, but they look OK I think.
On a recent trip to Calgary I stopped in at the Sentry Box - a must-visit hobby store. The Sentry Box also has a big cabinet of old OOP Games Workshop and Citadel miniatures and gaming stuff that attracts me like a neo-dymium magnet :-)
And in that cabinet (or rather, in a bag hanging on the wall beside said cabinet) was this guy. He was reasonably well painted and obviously part of a large collection of Citadel miniatures from the 1980s that had been sold to or consigned with the shop. After I got him back to Winnipeg I tuned up the paintwork somewhat (flesh, horns, hooves, woodwork on the weapons, and the stone axe blade which was solid red for some reason???)
I also did a little research to see what model I actually had here, and was somewhat surprised to find...
Huh! No axe in his right hand! Definitely the same model but either a variation or (more likely) a clever conversion by the original owner. The axe is metal as well and who knows where it came from, but the conversion was very well done.
I also rebased him of course, and you can see from the photo above how big a model this is, two pounds fifty back in 1987.
I really like this model and hope you do too - it's a real Oldhammer throwback isn't it!

Great work on a classic figure and classic models - an old school monster, and classic old Rhino APCs. The Sisters of Battle are certainly different in many ways, but I'm sure, like any of us, they will certainly appreciate a ride to work!
