Jjorg Ruddle has joined the army!
Generously donated by @Citizen Sade (I was genuinely overwhelmed and struggling for words when he gifted this to me at BOYL…), gave him a base and primed ready for Wednesday night’s game (his unit stood to the end without a scratch!). :grin:
Been looking up the story devised for the character in Bugman’s Lament (WD #298-302), such an inspirational series of articles. I didn’t pick up this era of WD, so has an undiscovered nostalgia for me that was not expected.

one problem with eBay which I DO understand is they don't keep old auctions data up after a while. It's always nice to see WHAT something normally sells for more then what people are asking. I'm being a bit stupid and kinda trying a project which is not gonna be short (I'll say something about it in the future, though I've already hinted in places) but the prices people are asking for some of them is just ridicules and probably not reflective of the prices they DO sell for. Though when you list something on eBay it gives suggestions which I think look more towards 'asking' price then 'sale' price.

of course, I keep remembering that a few years ago, MtG fans (if you call them that) started swearing at .. I think its still the failing Wizards of the coast.. maybe not, whatever, cause they reissued some old cards which are worth alot of money cause they are old ones and rare now, which kinda lost some of the value because of reissues. Sure, some people are still after first editions and stuff, but aren't worth quite as much when you can get a 'just as good' reissue.

Hell, look at the prices when GW re-issue old minis. ^_^, just the people that moan 'They are killing the price of my old rare cards and figures' aren't really fans.. they just want investments.
 
Picked up these “Hammerers”* a few days ago, so got them based and primed.

*yeah, they are actually Ironbreakers from around 6th Ed. Nice models tho!
 
Got him based up alongside a later version of a bolt thrower crew. Here they are facing off against one of Trish Carden’s beastly chaos hounds (only just squeezing on a 25mm x 50mm base!).

Had fun kitbashing another Troll Slayer standard bearer (prices on the after market are just a little off putting…):

Talking of trolls have based up this gangly fella. Love this Old School Miniatures design, going to have fun painting him!
