Hi!
I'm starting a new project to collect and paint up some of the miniatures GW released after its golden age.
I love the old school stuff they did in the 80s but its getting to be out of my price range so I have decided to instead start painting and collecting some of the figures that were released when I first started wargaming in the early to mid 90s, specifically for 2nd edition 40k.
Yes there are some real stinkers in the range (anyone remember the plastics that were released in the 2nd edition 40k box set?) but there are also lots of lovely miniatures that can be found for almost nothing compared to the price of the more classic figures.
I've so far had a rummage through my lead pile (sadly this didn't take too long as I had to sell almost my entire collection several years back) but did find 30 metal Catachan jungle fighters to start the project with!
I also plan on keeping an eye on Ebay and so on for any bargains that might appear!
