very nice pictures! IMHO 3rd ed chaos are also some of most nicest miniatures ever produced. Looking forward to seeing more of tme.

Maybe if you could fix the link to your blog...   ;) (it looks like you only linked to the main blog locations, not to your own site)

Thanks all, a real pleasur to share my collection with you.  :D

Many of these miniature are buy during 80's and early 90's by my brother and they staying a long time in deep and dark Box... When I found this treasure, I felt a big emotion (Nostalgia and memories of nice moments with friends...). Since this discovery, I never stop to paint them and try to find those who miss to my collection... It's the army of my dream.  ;)

Excellent, most excellent! A huge fan of those old models myself, I'm amazed again and again how up to date they appear with a decent paintjob. And you've done a fantastic one.

Fantastic stuff, I am blown away

Your army is AWESOME! I haven't been able to look at every picture yet because there are so many of them! So looking at the rest is a joy I am looking forward to. Your painting is beautiful and the models are really nice too! I've never seen proper pictures of all those weir beastmen, and all your banners are works of art! Thank you for sharing!
Title: Re: Realms of Chaos
Post by: Sinewgrab on 07 May 2011, 05:01:12 PM
Oh, man. How did I miss this post until today?  Lovely lovely stuff, from the beautiful models that started me on my 25 year hobby, to the paint jobs that belong in old 'Eavy Metal pages.

Beautiful, just...wow.
Title: Re: Realms of Chaos
Post by: Manic on 07 May 2011, 05:41:04 PM
Thanks for all your comments, These figurines merit to spend hours to be painted (My wife does not agree with me on this idea.. :D), they have a lot of value for me, they are the history of Citadel miniature. I think Bryan Ansell era is the best period for all collectors. Goodwin, Adams, Perrys are so youngs during 80's but they have great motivation and creativity... This range will probably never be equalled.
Bye, Nicolas.

I have to admit that I'm blown away by your skill. And by using those miniatures. That's what a chaos army is supposed to look like. Two thumbs up (and I'd say even more - only I don't have any more...)

Yeah, and that's no small thing!  Absolutely brilliant work man!  Tell your wife I'll do your chores so you can keep painting like a genius.  :D :D :D

Wow, I'm blown away by your collection! You've obviously put a considerable amount of time and effort into it- it's definitely paid off.

I'm a sucker for freehand banners, and yours look great. Gorax, the Chaos Ogre, is a characterful sculpt and your paint job has done him proud. Thanks for sharing.

Nostalgia.....   aaah...  your wonderfull pictures do remind me more and more why I love the 3rd ed. realm of chaos miniatures so much...  I thought I already had quite a nice collection, but your pictures have shown me that I defenitly will need to do some more E(vil)baying to get my 3rd ed. set complete. At least, if it ever can be complete...

Really like the miniatures on the blog, even if I can't read most of what you wrote :)

Every figure is better then the next.  I can't stop looking at them.  I think I've been back to your blog 4 times in the last 2 days.  How long did it take you to build this army?  What else did you find in that deep dark box?
Title: Re: Realms of Chaos
Post by: Andrew May on 08 May 2011, 02:46:17 PM
Woweeee! I feel sick knowing how often I looked through the citadel catalogs as a boy without buying them all!  :'(
You're lucky to have your brother.  :D

The painting is just  :-*  :-* :-*

Would you mind if I posted your work over at Frothers unite? I know they'd go wild for them.  :D

I know but I wait since 3 weeks that the administrator activate my account... !? Any body can help me?
I paint this army since 2 years, many projects are came to slow down my progress but I stand firm, I dont stop  o_o
Last thing, in the dark box I discovered half of this army, the rest was trad or buy on ebay...

My last works, directly come from the chaos dwarfs forges... Others pics on my blog (http://nico-realmsofchaos.blogspot.com/)

Oh my goodness, I just had a slight sex wee! Flipping ace, the lot of them! I especially like how you painted your redemptionists brown instead of red. I have that same fate planned for my guys, though I'm sure these plans will never come to fruition! =( Top marks though, Manic! Really good!

A brilliant army there and full of proper old school goodness. Plus everything is so well painted for such a large force of models. I'm very envious of you.

Post by: ogryn on 10 May 2011, 04:35:58 PM
All of it is awesome!! I too have a passion for the old stuff. For some reason I have been really into the retro stuff lately. I blame this blog. (and I blame this blog for less work done at my job!)

But if you give an infinite number of JollyBobs paintbrushes for an infinitve amount of time, surely winning the LPL is an inevitability!  lol

Great paintwork on show here though (and on your blog) – and those old sculpts really do have so much character. I like how you've also posted pics of the original White Dwarf adverts too. 2.50GBP for two centaurs? Ha!  ;D

Can I add a small amount of my sticky white love piss to the discussion?  These are absolutely superb.  Some of the best paint-jobs on old school minis I've ever had the fortune to see.

Only just seen this thread.....
WOW!
All those paintjobs are wonderful.
The subtle blends and choice of colours is inspired.
Love 'em all.
Just love all the old school minis. The best period Citadel/GW ever had.
Have been collecting a few recently myself, mostly for Mordheim warbands.
Why, oh, why did I not hold on to all my minis from the eighties?
Going to go off and have a sulk now................

Disturbing thought to think about the fate of these moulds.

The original moulds of a lot of these figures were slashed and cut then dumped!  :o Some made it through re: masters but a lot sadly didn't.

Nicholas, simply amazing miniatures I am in awe of your subtle but striking paintjobs.

Encore! encore!

Excellent miniatures and excellent paintjobs.

I really dig the old beastmen and thugs. This was this kind of minis and photos that got me into miniatures. It s a shame that no sculptors and manufacturers never try to recreate this kind of minis, I m sure that the old chaos range had brought so many people into the hobby.

Like a lot of you I really regret that I was too young and that I didn t have money to buy them when I could have. Well that s life.
