Loincloth, sash and helmet: Warpfiend Grey, White Scar.

Pan-fed shuriken catapults were a thing once.  I have a couple of old guardians from that era with laser rifles, I have yet to post (buried somewhere in my collection).

Yep, It was a less elegant way to feed ammo, but then again the shuriken catapult in the beginning was not Eldar exclusive.

Yeah, if i remember correctly, there were a (very) few minis of beaky marines that had them also.  I just assumed they were used as captured enemy weapons.

I checked out of curiosity and there were two. A MKVI Marine and a Scout. I have a Nurgle Champion on Palaquin with SC too.

Never seen that Nurgle champion mini before.  Wow they really went thru a lot of trouble designing metal minis back then.  And its a fairly complicated assembly (Reminds me of the Thorgrim Grudgebearer minis).  You needed a sturdy table to support game armies back then.

One thing that can be said about GW is that they always pushed the envelope.


Actually back then armies were smaller, especially 40K ones. I remember never being able to field eanch and every unit I liked.
