Actually, on the "Stompas" sprue, not the "Chaos" one. And they'd
disappeared
before E40k.

Agree on both points. The old 6mm vanilla marines make great powered
armout
figs in great quantities. I use em for OGRE amongst other things.

And the Eldar Gravtanks - the plastic ones that were dirt cheap - look
really good
as either spaceships or gravtanks with spinal mounts. The new (vastly
more
expensive
and metal) versions have a completely different look - still OK, but in
a
different way.

I should really make a gallery of some of the old GW stuff while it's
still
to be found
