Twenty years ago, October 1999, Mordheim was released. Apart from the beautiful presentation and scenery featured in the rulebook and White Dwarf, I think it was especially the incredible suggestive artwork that recalled original Realm of Chaos illustrations, that totally turned me on.
At the time Mailorder bits service was still active and in Amsterdam were I lived at time a GW store had recently opened so I could buy anything through the store.
I started designing warbands cherry-picking miniatures and components of old Realm of Chaos miniatures from the catalogues.
One of the best attempts and one that I actually completed and painted are the Martikor's Green Men of the Woods.

Magister Martikor with familiar.
Two Darksouls. Shields from Bretonnian Green Knight.

The whole warband.
Colin Dixon's original illustration.
Ian Miller's masterpiece.
