The Old World Problem

So at the beginning of 2024 after a good eighteen months of hype and rumour on the Warhammer Community website then Warhammer the Old World was released. Except it wasn't really because you couldn't buy it. I tried and it was Out of Stock already on the morning it was released. So the reason I was looking is because I bought into Warhammer Fantasy when it came out. Below you can see my original 1st edition Warhammer Fantasy books. But since the whole Age of Sigmar thing then my minis have been sitting in the loft being painted occasionally but not really being used. So I have now given up on Warhammer Fantasy as a game after 40 years since Games Workshop don't seem that interested in the game itself but just in a marketing exercise. I will write a post on this in detail but this is the reason for updates to the blog from 2024 and hopefully new content and lots of painted miniature's.

Wood Elf War Dancers

There are a number of warhammer armies that I have been collecting since Warhammer began really. Having moved house this was an opportunity to get some of them out of the attic and view them in more detail. The armies in my collection are Wood Elves High Elves Dark Elves Spotting a theme! Empire Chaos Warriors Skaven Dogs of War With significant collections of dwarves and orcs/gobbos. Plus lots of models I got just because I liked them. In terms of 40k Dark Angels (Main collection) Eldar Imperial Guard Chaos Marines I'll try and lay some out so I get more of them up, but this post is just about one unit. Wardancers I have only done half of them here, as I need to get the photography set up with a tripod for indoor work. Anyway, they follow the basic theme for my Wood Elf army, quite a bright green for most of the units with some being a bit more russet. Half my Wood Elf Wardancer Band Colour scheme is a lighter flesh, with bright green and bro...

Old Apothecary

I do have one of the new style ones that I need to paint up, but this is an original guy. Still have the White Dwarf article somewhere where they were introduced along with Imperial Guard Medics (have to finish and photograph that army at some point as well). The only Dark Angels iconography is in the painted pin shoulder pad. Uses a blue white rather than just using whites and greys. Dark Angels Apothecary

Legolas Greenleaf

Well got some of the first figures in from Ebay for the LOTR strategy battle game. They are a mixed bag and I am always amazed at how badly painted and prepared most of the figures are. It is as if no one has ever seen White Dwarf or the Games Workshop website and haven't a clue. Learn how to use a brush. The most overused and innacurate statement on Ebay for Games Workshop figures is Pro Painted! Anyway this is the first example, I am going to tackle, our little pointed ear friend Legolas Greenleaf, prince of Mirkwood and son to Tharanduil. He appears to have green hair in the figure that I have got, so much work to be done to turn him into a decent figure again. I got the whole Fellowship on their presentation stand as one of my first purchases and I will go through the reasons for which models I got in a future post.
