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.

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

Ravenwing Landspeeder

The smaller metal landspeeder but a great Ravenwing model. The good thing about 40k is that you can justify it as coming from an earlier time and is a relic passed on, rather than always having to get the latest incarnation from Games Workshop. I do have one of the newer ones, and have reworked that with some Forge World icons and bits from the new sprues. Dark Angels Ravenwing Landspeeder
