I'd confess to being loathe (at best) to part with them - most of them are collector's pieces now, from discontinued games or lines. But just in case there's something in there that you're desperate for, here's that cast of thousands in full: -

1 Vintage Metal 1980s GW Chaos Warrior
1 HQ Chaos Sorceror

1 HQ Dwarf Hero
1 Warhammer Dungeon Dwarf
Undead
The original GW restless dead |

A note on the Listings
HQ = Heroquest, the MB game that started it all for me. Reasonable models designed by GW. Square bases with rounded edges premoulded on to the model. Some of the first painting I ever did, and appropriately awful as a result - I didn't believe in undercoating back then, and used enamel paint.
DnD = figures from a board game I got off ebay for floor tiles. Good models, but all in identical poses with integral bases, and made of some rubbery plastic that doesn't take paint very well. The Happy Spawn is an example, it's a carrion crawler.
Leftovers |
Let me know if there's any interest!
Some (limited) interest in:
ReplyDelete1 HQ Ogre (just for the crack)
3 HQ Assorted Battle Wizards (not the one in the red and grey though - I already got one. Well, two actually)
2 Beastmen - are they plastic??
4 Skeletons - Old GW
2 night goblin archers
2 plastic wolves
2 GW goblin spearmen
1 HQ Orc Shaman
3 Bats
Nice! - it looks like you have enough greenskins for the majority of a 1000pt army...
The beastmen are plastic! Like a handful of the other models, they're from MB's largest joint venture with GW, Battlemasters (I think it was). Heaps of excellent models but in crap numbers and with useless bases. I gave it away years ago, that's where the wolves are from too.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome to that lot, I shall sling them over in the post at some point. Just remind me of your address.
I'd be embarrassed to field that lot as an army these days. But they've done their time in the past!
I don't know, with bases and the odd conversion, your greenskins could proudly grace the table once again - I have 100 of those 4th-Edition-boxed-set Goblins with spears which I'd love to paint up and field for old time's sake! ;-)
DeleteYou can put the aforementioned minis in the post if you like, but there's no hurry. Perhaps just bring them next time you visit UK? Gives us an excuse for a pint.
I think I'm going to need all the bases to redo the vikings! Marauders and Warriors both seem to be on 25mm bases, annoyingly. And I need to find a 50mm square for Archaon too.
DeleteI did almost paint up 40 black orcs for Woffboot VI, until I saw how much their points cost was. I think I'll finish one army before scraping together another, and there's nothing that kills my painting mood faster than 40 identical models, conversions aside!
I'll be over in the UK in November for rehearsals, I could bring them then.
November. Perfect. I love swapsies!
DeleteI may have a few spare 25mm slotta bases - the bases on those vikings would prob amply cover the slots.
HeroQuest
ReplyDeleteThe one that got me started: check
First ever painting: check
Crappy enamel paint jobs: big check
I also have a lone, unpainted High Elf archer from the 4th ed. box set. I have no idea how it got there, but I suspect every gamer has one.
Don't ever get rid of it - it's probably like the Tower of London's ravens.
Good point. I'd hate to see the vast edifice of my gaming hobby coming crashing down around my ears.
ReplyDeleteI have occasionally wondered about selling Heroquest on - I've got the original and all the expansions. But it's in terrible nick, many missing bits and pieces. And it's also an emotional keystone (see above).
I've also got my old HeroQuest (with the 'Against the Ogre Horde' expansion pack) and it all seems to be in a pretty good state (aside from the hideous gloopy paint job on all the miniatures) - certainly enough to combine for a workable set.
ReplyDeleteI've not played for 20 years, but I'd be up for proposing a 'Vintage Session' to a future WoffBoot and play the classic MB Game for an evening.
If nothing else, it would produce the spectacle of veteran gamers trying to cope with such primitive mechanics as the skull/shield dice and 'broadsword' equipment card.
Come on, now. AtOH introduced the advanced complexities of multiple wound monsters! That's tough stuff.
DeleteHere here!
DeleteI now have two sets of HQ (though only one set of rules) thanks to early intervention at a Sea Cadet Jumble Sale! Bring on the Vintage Session!
ReplyDeleteOne successful swapmeet completed! Kraken and Leofa: two happy customers.
ReplyDeleteKraken, if you have any more need for my bitzbox at a later date, I quite fancy a marauder archer (assuming they're plastic and all identical?) and the dungeonquest heroes (again, assuming they're plastic?)
