Oldhammer Haul

[Knight Girl]

Hi Everyone.

I got an order today. Besides some Vallejo True Metallic paints, I got a VG+ condition 5th Edition WFB Rulebook and loose Battle Magic Spell cards and Magic Items cards! I've pretty much re-constructed my 5th Edition starter set, save the Lizardmen that I don't want. But I have my box, my rules, accessories, and Bretonnians, all authentic GW.

What a haul thread without pictures! Still congrats on the pile!

 

[Knight Girl]

Ha, thanks! It's too hot here to take pictures, I have to go outside to get decent pix.

Cool. I assume this is it. I got some of the red waggly things in the 40K 3rd edition boxed set but seem to have lost them. I never played fantasy but remember Nigel Stillman's fantastic articles on heraldry. I think he did a stint as a postman after GW.

 

[Knight Girl]

That's the one! I have enough rules,etc. to play 5th Ed again, I'm painting Bretonnians now.

Yes, Nigel Stillman is the man. Narrative, spirit-of-the-game, finish your army, he is a role model for me.

Yep. Bryan Ansell was meant to have bumped into him doing that, asked him about joining with Foundry, which he turned down. Wonder what he is up to now (I think he is still alive)... there are a few fans of Warhammer Ancient Battles around.

Had a nice chat with him at BOYL some years back. A nice chap, exactly as you'd imagine him to be.

How are you going with the Bretonnians?
I painted a Bret army a couple of years back and tbh it wasn’t nearly as brutal as I expected

Hi there! I'm still assembling knights, I've had a health challenge to set me back but I'm now on the mend and can look forwards to getting back to work. And, I know what you mean, I enjoy colorful caparisons, it's no chore to paint Bretonnian knights.

He was a pleasure to meet. Like many of the old GW crew he had a background in archaeology, and my father and him had met (albeit briefly) at a training dig that ran for many years at Crickley Hill. Participants at Crickley Hill all stayed in what was basically a scout camp, and as you can imagine, there was a strong gaming (and drinking) scene when people were relaxing at the day's end. So it's nice to imagine that he and my dad might have played games together.

As mentioned in this thread I just made (which I now realize was a bit redundant...) I managed to get a ridiculously good condition box of old plastic Clanrats for £23...which is less than the cost of a modern plastic character! Very happy about that.
