Welcome Aly. Marauder sounds rather familiar to me too, although I can´t put a face to your name. However somehow the LAF is a beach where every flotsam and jetsam from the entire wargaming community is to be found one day.

Yes Elk101
you are one of the few people old enough to remember...
I am the Aly Morrison of Marauder Miniatures...
I'm not so sure about the fame though  :)

I think you'll find that there's a lot of us that remember your work for Citadel. Marauder? Unfortunately after my time, really...

Otherwise, what everyone else said. Welcome.

Welcome!  I adore those Marauder minis, and the Citadel ones, as well.

Welcome to LAF 8)

I remember seeing your name on occasion in my early wargames days. I really like your Great War Miniatures WWI range… despite it’s obvious gaps ::)

Hi Calimero

What gaps.......? ::)

Actually David and I were talking about revisiting WW1 .
We thought we would get something out for the centenary next year .
I make no promises as I have the Crimean French to get started and some Shiny Toy Soldiers to finish.
Unfortunatly life keeps getting in the way and stealing all my time :?
All the best. Aly

Welcome aboard!

With such a variety of interests, this place should keep you busy, and out of trouble,  for a long time.

Once word gets around the Fantasy board that you on here, however, you will probably be inundated with requests to make more of your old stuff (which I have very fond memories of  :D).
Good luck!
 lol

WELCOME ABOARD! May your stay be LONG & MERRY!

I think you'll find that you have quite a following here...including moi. From your appearances in the older White Dwarf, aside from being wildly creative, you came across as being a genuinely likable Guy...SO well met, Amigo!

Wow Aly Morrison! Welcome!
In my best memories playing AD&D (when i was a teen) I use one of your miniatures for my character :-)
Sadly that was a long time ago :-(

Hi Aly, and welcome to the forum.

I teach history for a living, and I think that is one reason I have generally avoided painting historical miniatures in the past - too close an association with the work day (although I really enjoy my job, but still...).  I mainly collect and paint fantasy with a smattering of SciFi for variety.  Of late though I have started collecting some historicals - had a blast playing some historical games at Historicons - and I have just actually finished painting some.  Really my first "military" historical figures (I have done a few odd cowboys and Pulp figures that could be historical, in the right light).

@Aly

… a French 75mm gun would be nice for the early war period. Also some late war French infantry and cavalry. What about a pack of specialist too? Sniper, nettoyeur de tranchés, etc. The French army did have some tireurs d’élite in WWI and some of them were equipped with the first model of semi-automatic rifles…

But I’m as focused as you are so Crimean War French would be nice too… ;)

Hi Michael

I think one of the joys of our hobby is that it is such a broad church...
you may like Cowboys ,Dwarves or Goblins, I like Grenadiers, Hussars and Tanks,

but we are both still playing with toy soldiers and having fun.

I didn't know there was an Edinburgh in Texas ...
I come from the Edinburgh in Scotland :)

Calimero...
 I know...
Dave and I always try and make and release enough troop types to allow someone (and ourselves ) to have a reasonable game from the start , sadly we never seem to have the time to do everything we want or what everyone else would like , but we will try our best ( oh for an other 12 hours in the day)

All the best  Aly

Well met sir!!  I'm a huge fan of your work with Marauder...My favorite figures of all time are from Marauder....in particular the dwarfs.  There is a character and charm to those figures that no one else has been able to capture with the same flair.

If you have any interest in revisiting those day please have a look around my blog (http://bluesmarauders.blogspot.com/) which is mostly dedicated to documenting my painting of some of those wonderful figures.

Welcome to the forum...we all look forward to your input!

Cheers,

Blue
