I was 10 years old and found it at a local hobby shop. I spent more time looking at those Eavy Metal pages than most kids do playing video games. I read every word of that issue dozens of times (even the ads). I was that crazy about it. For me those Ultramarines are still the gold standard and what I look to when painting marines to this day. Great review and I appreciate the context!Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17413007310180896260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-10913816032495344812014-07-28T09:23:49.171-07:002014-07-28T09:23:49.171-07:00I picked up one of those inquisitors a while back ...I picked up one of those inquisitors a while back and have since sold it on, but I *theeenk* that it came with a cloak-backpack. Though it was second hand, so I suppose it may not have been original.

On the upside, it did help me learn to paint neatly, so when I did learn better acrylic techniques (ie. beyond drybrushing everything), my work suddenly became much better.<br /><br />Your retrospective is, as always, fun and interesting.Allison M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08362700513221195102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-72397101280410962762014-07-24T10:04:15.700-07:002014-07-24T10:04:15.700-07:00While we have sources of inspiration all around us...While we have sources of inspiration all around us nowadays thanks to the internet, i do cherish the days where White Dwarf was the source of our inspiration.

The techniques used to get that lovely sherbet lemon yellow on the ork nob fascinated and eluded me at the time. <br /><br />The Inquisitor is an off the peg model, although the backpack cloak may have come from somewhere else. I am fond of that sculpt and I would like to get one some day. http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/File:OM_Inq_power_sword.jpg<br /><br />Lastly, because I am an anal retentive: the first marine is carrying a conversion beamer, not a missile launcher. Its a cool looking weapon regardless :)cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-75890304564439119352014-07-24T03:02:09.115-07:002014-07-24T03:02:09.115-07:00Mr Benson also earns extra points for the use of h...Mr Benson also earns extra points for the use of hex bases.Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486311422850536804noreply@blogger.com
