Both of our licenses with GW specified North American sales only, so people outside North America had to get creative: friends in NA, vacation visits to the Armorcast shop, etc. I see you have one of my Tempests. The blue flip flop pearl and gold was my Eldar color scheme.timdphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613095810654659743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-25681243486278825152014-01-21T18:56:02.705+00:002014-01-21T18:56:02.705+00:00Stop taunting me!

I think the most I had at once was 6! But they weren't sought after; Forgeworld were putting out great modern-styled kits weekly, and the old school Armorcast/Biasi stuff was going unloved (and cheap). Now, you just don't see them any more!axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-18849625543244478702014-01-20T11:14:49.181+00:002014-01-20T11:14:49.181+00:00

Being situated in Ireland made them about as accessible as the sea monkeys and x-ray specs advertised for sale in the back of Amazing Spider-Man however :(<br /><br />I have a lot of the old Epic miniatures and while the revamped and updated version of those designs that came out in both 6mm and 28mm since (like the Scorpion) are sometimes better than the original, none of them are nicer than this Tempest design. Its classic RT and yet has managed to age well I think.<br /><br />I would love to own one of those bad boys. Colour me envious... but thanks for sharing :) cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-23609984308616189342014-01-20T10:24:41.122+00:002014-01-20T10:24:41.122+00:00Yes, Eldar are really tricky by comparison; there&...Yes, Eldar are really tricky by comparison; there's a whole bunch more pics on the Collecting Citadel Wiki: http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Resin_Vehicles_%26_Titansaxiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-1430897309262158952014-01-20T10:08:21.068+00:002014-01-20T10:08:21.068+00:00Gosh, I didn't even know these existed before ...Gosh, I didn't even know these existed before you mentionned them in the earlier post.<br />I can imagine how big an impression it must have made back in the day.
