Have You Ever Seen THIS Terminator Model?

Come see the old, old first incarnation of the “Terminator Space Marine” created by Jes Goodwin and Bob Naismith from the late 1980’s!


Welcome to 40k Flashback, where I dig deep for something cool that I have or have seen from back in the day. Which according to the comic Dane Cook was a Wednesday…

It’s pretty 80’s looking and most people when they do see them, think they are not even a Games Workshop miniature.

I’ve even heard the comment that they resemble the robots in the movie “5th Element”.

I happen to have a painted squad of these bad boys that I even “updated” with an assault cannon many years ago when 2nd edition came out in the 1990’s!

So what do YOU think they look like? -MBG
