There are some classic and cool models in people’s collections.
Thanks for sharing.
I just wanted to also say I am thankful that I am in a position to be able to buy some of the oldhammer models I miss from my childhood.
Whilst I had to get rid of all of them due to personal circumstances, I am at least able to buy some favourites back, even at the prices some of them command.
Not everyone is able to do so.
So if you still have your models from back in the day, and or are able to buy them, raise a glass to the gods in thanks!!

OK, I’ll play.
As it stands today, it’s this fella who was painted by the very talented Stone Cold Lead.
Why this one? It’s an Interesting figure of a flawed character that’s well painted in suitably sombre colours and it’s Ferndale bloody Snart! I loved the Blood Bath at Orc’s Drift scenario pack when it was released and it influences how I like to game to this day.

I first saw it in a copy of White Dwarf and thought it was ridiculous and cool at the same time. A tank for rats, powered by rats. What’s not to like! Always wanted one. Managed to get one relatively cheaply off eBay during lockdown.

For me it has to be my first marine. Alas I don't have it (my brother does - so it is still around) and I have not bought another copy (yet - I should correct that oversight). So for the sake of illustrating I shall use this lovely painted example from our own @angrygriffin to better illustrate (than I will ever do) the best Tech Marine:
When I first saw these models with their giant spanners and so forth I thought they were brilliant. That thought has never gone away. What use the giant "war spanners" are I don't really know, but it just feels "Rogue Trader" to me. So if I have to pick one, it's that one.
Enjoying seeing other people's offerings, lovely idea for a thread.

Out of the few models in my collection I think the guy in my profile picture is my favourite.
I used to love Michael Moorcock novels and the Elric ones in particular.
I never had Count Smiorgan Baldhead at the time so picking him up a couple of years ago was pleasing.
He is not only from the Young Kingdoms which I like, he also looks a lot like my WRFP 1e character would have looked when he was old, so it invokes memories of the years of playing WFRP.
Plus he was the leader of the short lived Mordheim warband and lives on now as the leader of my Holzfaller in my Warm Ale and Mud WFB 3rd edition project.

Oversight corrected ...
Not the cheapest model in the world, but well it is my favourite model. Now as to when I get back to painting Marines I don't know, I have a handful of metal ones still to do and a fair few RTB01s but I probably need to be "in the zone" to face all the black/yellow horror on my Imperial Fists.
