Hello all,

I haven't posted here in a while - but here is a video showcasing my 39 year journey collecting an Oldhammer Skaven army if anyone is interested.

15,000 points, yee gads.

There is some great stuff in there, I much prefer the 3rd edition era stuff.
It has more character without being mahoosive and roided up.

Well done, well done indeed, a mighty accomplishment yes yes.

Luvverly! At 15k pts I believe you will eat the world!

Skaven armies are so cool to see. Enviable stuff.

a number of modern models which I don't think much of but still really well painted and alot of old nice stuff too ^_^

Yes, I had a bit of dilemma there, as I wanted to include the new units, but struggled to think of ways to convert the older models, so settled on trying to blend them in with the paint scheme instead

Came across this recently on Youtube and absolutely loved it all (even left a comment) Think you really captured the feel of Andy Chambers army.

Thankyou - much appreciated

Thankyou - much appreciated

As a fellow lover of both the Andy Chambers army and the original Jes Goodwin models, its was lovely to see such a beautiful fully painted army. Its also go my thinking about adding a screaming bell as a centre piece for my army even if its not an original model.

A marvelous army indeed! ANd overwhlemingly so.
Also, I do admire the way the video was produced and edited. Wish I could do stuff like that, looks (and sounds) really well

What are these points of which you speak? Also, nicely done! Looks lovely.

Thankyou - I can't take any credit for that sadly - all my father in law's production

This is incredible - I had to stop watching it on my phone to go and do it justice on the big telly!
Great models beautifully painted and a really good video too (in my not remotely professional opinion).
With you on the dilemma of integrating newer sculpts into an Oldhammer army, but I think you absolutely nail it.
As a newbie to these parts I am finding this forum incredibly inspiring, even if there is an element of intimidation (purely internal and I'm trying to throttle it and just heed the inspiration!)

Thankyou - that's very kind of you. I can't take any credit for the video as I know nothing about editing and it was all done by my father in law. It's also important to bear in mind the length of time this army took to finish (39 years) - slowly but surely wins every race whenever you are feeling daunted.

Was amazed to hear none of them were batch painted! What a labour of love.

Wow, I'm blown away ! What a job ! Each figurine is full of inspiration, and there are so many, it's a crowd !...But where's Charlie ^-^ ?
What a treat and thank you for sharing this with us, really.

yes, but the paint quality varies from that of an 11 year old to that of a 50 year old !

the start of a very respectable warlord clan.

Wow, what an amazing army - both the collection and the painting. Stunning work. Well done!
