We had our first retro event of 40k 2nd edition. The first of the coverage is online:

In my childhood I was given the old Blood Angels army box. And while I painted it with child like abandon, I did not take care of what I had. A few years ago I found the box of my old models and decided to repaint them with the several decades of skills I have gained. These are the devastators from that box set.
They are painted and assembled to very closely match what was present on the front of the box set. That means that there are two space marines from the 2nd edition starter box hiding in there and a conversion with one of the marines one handing a bolter. Doing that required cutting down the bolter and pauldron to fit the gun in his hand. Oh yes and most importantly the goblin green bases.
Overall, it was a very gratifying project I love painting in the older style and getting closer to the goal of finishing off the box set has been wonderful.
Originally part of a gift to given to me as a wee lad. I finished painting this model this last year.

Had a lot of fun painting this guy! Didn’t drill the barrels and left some pretty egregious mold lines but it has a lot of nostalgic charm.
