That blackened metalwork looks amazing, I would have struggled not to keep adding rust effects and ultimately spoil it.

That's a wonderful collection you have there, V, and the PJ is just so.

I look onto myself and notice my taste for the miniatures of early days of the hobby is growing.

Takes me back to Wargames Illustrated magazines in the 80s where the Foundry add was the highlight. Beautiful.

I haven't commented on here before as it's obviously all brilliant. But just so you know, I think this is all brilliant. I'm a big Oldhammer fan, so there's so much to love about this thread.

So while 2022 was very Oldhammer focussed, its more WW2 this year,.but a few fantsy bits still cropping up.

Coming up first for 2023 will be a few models from the BC2 Monster Starter Set released in 1985. 

First up... the Manic Hobgoblin Hero!

You’ve really brought out what an amazing miniature that always has been!

Great figures and superb painting.
And the project planner in me loves the counting approach - thinking about which range I’d like to apply that to this year lol

Very old fella this one, and seems the mould on the left hand always failed, but as he is Fantasy Tribe Fighter FTF54 'Adventurer in Leather Armour' from 1982, that then moved into the C01 Fighters range in 1983 from Citadel... we will let him off the poorly moulded hand!



After so many more from this range, that seems overlooked to me as it contains some really stunning miniatures.

Not really doing much on this project in 2023, needed a bit of time off from it but have completed one of the old Citadel C26 Men-at-Arms with pole arm. This range was allegedly the best selling of all the ranges in the mid-80s and its still available with Foundry at present.

The range has tons of variants for each pose and it’s a great War of the Roses or late Medieval range. It was handy for any generic human force in fantasy as well as being popular with historical gamers…

Not much going on this year for Oldhammer but the occasional model, and here is the Ogre Champion from the 1985 BC2 Monster Starter Set…
