My friend and me will go back to the point when Warhammer had it´s best times with the release of the 6th Edition in September 2000.

Good to hear you've got big plans.

Love the elves, they look lovely and crisp. I'm a huge fan of the seaguard miniatures well.

Awesome High Elves! I collected the same back in the day, and still think those 4th and 5th edition metal sculpts are fantastic. The sea guard were some of the best. You've done them justice with that really nice gold armour.

And I LOVE those two command models too! I never had those particular ones, always thought they looked great.

Brilliant painting! I also adore the sculpts. They were some of the best GW ever made.

Ooh! 6th edition marks the golden era of my happy childhood warhammer memories!

I'll be following this with interest. Also, nice minis.

Gorgeous paint work on those fellas...wow.  As someone pursuing 2nd edition 40K I applaud your resolve and goals.

Don't.
Let the wretched game die.
It was starting to show its age in the late 80s. It's now just a bloated fat corpse floating down the river.
Awkward, wobbly, out-of-date rules mechanisms. Move forward. There are loads of other games out there that you can use those lovely models with.

It was showing its age five years after it was released? 

I agree on better games though - have you seen Dragon Rampant? Most of your Warhammer bang but in half the time.

More, please!  :-*

Warhammer is not my cake, but beautifully painted fantasy minis are!

Thank you all for your comments. That will motivate me to go on.

I know that Warhammer is not everyones cup of tea. And I also know that there are lots of other great fantasy tabletops out there. I play myself God of Battles (awesome game) and Dragon Rampant.

Though my regular gaming mate and me always loved to play Warhammer together. And that is simply all about it. Having a great time togehter and playing a game we both like, nothing more and nothing less.

And if we will get bored of it we still can use our miniatures for other games :-)

This thread wasn't meant to discuss the strenght and weaknesses of the game of our choice. I'm sure there are other threads that have this as topic.

Thanks again.

These are perfectly done in my opinion! Looking forward to more...

Your Pointy Eared Ones are BEAUTIFUL creations, WONDERFULLY painted in a FINE array of colors. VERY WELL DONE!

I wish you the best with your 6th edition project. I have the remains of an undefeated Night Goblin 6th edition army...when the then new Orcs & Goblins book came out they eliminated the all Goblin army lists; SO I never did get to play with them. That killed a few Goblin armies at my then local store. 7th edition did it for the rest of the Folks.

I cut my teeth in 5th edition but when me and a couple of buddies are feeling the warhammer itch, we play 6th for sure. 

My high elves remain partially painted ans i have no white lions...but you make me want to buy some for sure.  Great paint job and love the skin tone on thw hero...well done.

Lovely painting. I always liked the White Lions.

Also a fan of Warhammer. Sure, it's a bit clunky and not as "simple" as newer games, but I always felt it had charm and lots of character. Some of my love of it is nostalgia I'm sure, but still, I like it!

Nothing beats Warhammer, so simple even my five year old picked it up in a single game yet can cope with any amount of complexity you'd like to thorw at it. The modern games that have abstracted away all the joy cannot compare. Plays quick too.

I love 6th and do not play anywhere near enough the oldhammer forum is well worth checking in on we don't have a strong 6th presence but we should.

I love your elves, the flesh is perfect and everything else just has a great warm glow. You can tell these are good guys.
