Everything I dreamed of in the 1980s... There's a jealous little boy inside of me...

Where do you live again?

And what's the door code?

Excellent paintjob, Piers. Although I think that you wouldn't have picked that palette back in 1987. Those paints were much brighter back in the day, particularly with elves… I remember pink and blue horrors - LITERALLY!!!  lol

This thread is a non stop ride from glorious to stupendous. You've made my inner child very happy.

Been too busy with work this lockdown to do much, but finally painted a model this year. I did however acquire a large box of Oldhammer Citadel figures from my neighbour... lockdowns are weird in rural Ireland like that.

Anyway...



One of the Khorne Chaos Champions - Gurni Iron Arm - from 1988 based on an illustration in the Realms of Chaos - Slaves to Darkness book. He has a sword and steam powered mace fist... cos... well its chaos init...

Brilliant painting. The old orcs and elf are spot on.

Back in 1987 the generic Elf1 range was released, sculpted by Aly Morrison and Jes Goodwin, it had a certain glam rock feel to it... or as I call it - The Bowie Years.
