It was mentioned on another thread about older models and the prices and it got me trying remember what the first 40k miniature I bought was and how much I paid.
I honestly cannot remember at the moment what I got first but.........

What was the first 40k mini you ever bought?
How much did you pay? (If you can remember.)

 

[MarzM]

First miniature for 40k was the last vertion of the DA captain with the helm of feathers and i cost me £ 2.00

The first model for fantasy was the old old old old old old norse dwarf models! I have no idea how much they cost me then i bought miners after that


MarzM :mrgreen:

 

[The Wraithlord]

First 40K min for me was a generic chaos terminator. Still have it, albeit in pieces currently

 

[Stella Cadente]

My first mini's were a box of 5 marines when they used to cost £5, you lot might remember those days *sigh*

 

[torealis]

box of RTB01 marines.

 

[cccp]

my first model was a 3rd ed space marine with a rocket launcher. i thought it looked cool.

still have it somewhere

 

[the cabbage]

A Marine squad for 3rd edition with ten terminator honours shoulder pads because I thought I'd make that my chapter badge (I know I know!).

Those guys were dark angels for a couple of years but transferred into the red scorpions where they continue to serve. (Albeit once a year).

 

[Jacobite]

Mine was the old paint sets where you got the basic paints and a squad. I orginalyl had them painted up as Crimson Fists but repainted them as Ultramarines.

I have no idea where he is now.

Ah good times. *Wipes Tear*

 

[LongBeard]

Over ten years ago and It was the only model I brought at that time, cool looking space marine Jetbike type model. Haven't got a clue where It ended up though? :?

 

[blessed knight]

mine was the original space marine model. for about 50p. Thats over 20 years ago now.

God I feel old now! :lol:

 

[torealis]

bit of my RTB01s are still in my bits box... good times...

 

[Lord Sinkoran]

My first ever 40k mini was a necron warrior that was from the 12 man box set which at the time was £15.

 

[Flam]

The first 40K models I ever purchased were three plastic Tyranid Warriors, the kind that had oval heads and, for lack of a better word, stingers. You know, I remember thinking they looked kinda goofy even back then. Their buckteeth and boneswords are safely stashed away in a shoebox somewhere in my closet, shamefully hiding their garish glossy-orange paintjobs from the world.

 

[Ordo Xeno Commander]

the first 40k model i ever bought was a broadside battlesuit and it cost me $55 NZ. it is now in pieces and spread across a few mates houses

the first army unit i bought, like the ffirst unit for a long standing army was a necron battle force, the first model i built was a necron warrior whcih is no win my frends army

 

[Erikman]

Mine were some old Gorka Morka boyz but I've since lost them all.

 

[jigplums]

i got 3 ork boyz and 4 dwarf longbeards as a birthday present along with issue 164 of wd. I still have the dwarfs

 

[torealis]

ISSUE 164! that's actually amazing, that was my first WD too! possibly the best issue ever!

 

[Viscount Vash]

The first models I bought were probably the RTB01 Marines.

The first WD I bought was about issue 110 ( It was one with a purple border and marine colour schemes in side.)

My local Games Workshop used to do promotions where the person who bought in the earliest WD would win a box set or some such. There was a chap who kept winning with an issue 4.
The store manager was getting a bit bored of the same person winining this ( espeacially since it was about the only time the guy went in.)
So I borrowed my Uncles copy of this

Never saw the guy again :lol:

 

[Seabovine]

My first ever 40k mini(s) were a box of Ork Boyz.

Four left now because my brothers kept ruining them, would of had a battle force, but my brother stepped in and wanted to get some SM

 

[Elchimpster]

Eldar Guardians, with lasguns.
