A major walk down memory lane

[Manus]

Quite unexpected, during the kid's football game in the weekend, I ran into one of my old gaming buddies from way back in university when we played (mostly) Mordheim - our boys playing against each other now. He had our old stuff stored, most of which was mine from even further back, and I had a couple of times thought about storing it at my place now - back then he was the only one living in an actual house. Anyway, he and the missus was about to move house and he had just come across our old boxes. We decided that I should come by and pick up the stuff - quite a lot actually, several boxes of terrain and four boxes of models. A good mix of metal and plastic minis, some dating way back to the good old D&D days, HeroQuest and a lot of Mordheim - and absolutely no mechanicus.

Time line for my gaming/painting is pretty much this: manOwar - HeroQuest - D&D (with Quareni, recognise any of the minis Kris?) - WHF - Mordheim - 40K

Hope you'll enjoy (oh and my kid won the football game )

The loot



The minis - quite a lot eh?




D&D minis en masse:

Bad wizards - I played the grey one for years













This was actually the first mini I even painted - a lumber jack!




Luckily the painting skills started to develop at some point - I began to pay more attention to the painting, read a few books, and learned from friends. I also remember I did a undead army for WFB at this time, so I guess that helped too. The gobling in the center was the first really "well" painted mini I did. The Felix model was for many years the best model I painted - by my own account, that is.




Last one, is from the MOrdheim period - a bunch of evil gobbos, led by an even more evil albino

Are those the very first Chaos Dwarfs I see there? 6th picture down....

Now there's a blast from the past. It's nice to have models painted from over the years. Makes one appreciate how you've developed and also a good tool to show the people who are new to the hobby what effort and time can be rewarded with.

Edit: did you find any man o'war?

Love it!

Man, I had some of those miniatures. Sadly they have all been lost to history, and I will have no reunion with them. (They all got thrown away )

[Quareni]

FanTAStic! That takes me back soooo much. I was even tempted to go looking in th eattic to find my own counterparts, but when I opened the cupboards the work of the horading demon living up there scared me away - that must be some other time. I still love you Queek Headtaker which I remember as your first attempts with washes - causing much envy around. And the Spawn Goblin! Priceless.
Hmmm, might have to go fight that hoarding demon and see what I can find...

Cheers guys.
It's always good fun seeing stuff from way back.
James I have no idea actually - didn't know much about the minis back then.
sw1: never owned manOwar - just playing it a few times
tzen: shame on people for throwing out stuff
quareni: good to see you memory is still intact now an venture into the attic is in place......

This thread and especially that Felix model reminded me of the old school shields I had. So it inspired me to use it on my Rune Priest:

[doomzombie]

Would just love to find a box or two of old stuff like that, i`d be lost in old memories of time`s gone by...................


I do see quite a few figure`s i remember having / still have, will have to go hunting one day but for now it`ll have to wait.


Doom....
