Back In My Day....

[MichaelStockin]

When I bought WFB 3rd and raided both Games Workshop, Beatties and other model shops I made my armies from:

Citadel. Grenadier. Ral Patha. RAFM. and Alternative Armies.


Assuming you were around playing back in the 80's as a spotty youth, what models were you using?

Citadel with the lightest Asgard seasoning.

And a microscopic dusting of Dixon.

tricky cause alot of my figures were kinda hand-me-downs or spares etc.. thus I got alot of Fantasy regiment and AHQ Skaven pre-painted but... mostly Citadel with some grenadier (now with em4) when it came to 40K. cause for WFB I pretty much only had Skaven (with a hand full of some others) so.. not many others I could get which did Rat men at the time. the fact there was only really a couple of places which stocked anything locally was another thing.

Yup, all of the above! Our local game store only started out with Ral Partha stock, but over time had more GW boxes. The highlight would be visits to bigger towns which had dedicated model shops selling racks of Citadel and other manufacturers. Picked up a few blisters at Virgin back when they selling minis and RPGs too…

Citadel and Scotia Grendel with the odd other random "cool" miniature who's manufacturers are lost to time (well my mind at least).
