C100 Imperial Marines

These guys were the first proper release of something resembling the modern Space Marines, following the LE2 limited edition release. The eight of them were seen in the August 1986 Citadel Miniatures Mail Order Sheet. The November 1986 White Dwarf (#83) shows one in black and white and references Naismith’s “excellent hard line work” on the C100 range:

They all have 1985 on the tab as the sculpt date.

Tyler Zee sent me some photos of the C100 Marines in their blisters:
