Yes if I could go back in time for just a second and tell my teenage self to have more focus with collecting.. never mind the electric guitar you'll always stink at it, forget the shadow run and hero modules you'll never play them, why bother going boozing with your mates in, 20 years time you won't be talking to them what you really want is some of these nice marauder villagers.

I'd tell myself to get a load of the scenario figs, with a few extra Lichemaster and Mikeal Jackson figs because they are worth the weight in... something bloody exspenvie (mabye vanila or truffles)

Unfortunately they were OOP even when I was a kid. I've collected a few of the good  guys from these scenarios,  Albie, Gim and Samgaff just by finding them in job lots I've picked up but none of the evil guys that everyone wants. I watch Mikael Jacsen hit £155 recently on Ebay. I would like him and £155 isn't huge amounts for something you want, I just don't want any one figure that much....

Ha I watched him go for silly money too - my eyebrows were raised quite high when he was at around £60 with a couple of days to go!

I'd agree with Binman about the scenario figs - they're certainly at a premium at the mo - is it us lot bidding against each other in a frenzy of dewy-eyed nostalgia?!  ;D

More nostalgia but elves this time.

Marauder Woodies from the 80's not the later 90s sculpts, mid game here so no background:



Citadel hero (well I use him as such) with warhounds:



Wardancers enter a sunny glade (I don't think I've ever used Skarloc's chum with the rest of them):



As always more later.

Great stuff - like your lighting, especially the sunny glade!

What's all this about mid-game - you don't actually play with your minis?!  ;)

Those marauder Elves look pretty cool and seeing your hounds reminds me I've got about 8 more of mine to paint... and the rest of the Elven host I scrubbed together off ebay and forgot about as soon as I started painting my greenskins!

My what a Khorne-ucopia of minis you have - love the Red Redemption and those flesh hounds are very tasty - always thought they should make a halfling equivalent and call them sausage dogs!  ;D

Where did you get your nice background piccy of the misty mountains from?

It's a calendar so loads of cool backdrops, problem is it is only so wide meaning stuff has to get cut off.
