My top Commodore 64 games, 31-40
The Commodore 64 turned 40 years old in 2022, and to celebrate that achievement I am going to list my favourite 40 games on the platform. This was my first … Continue reading
Classic chaos knights
It’s April of 1995, and I receive an unexpected phone call from my mother. She is in the Games Workshop store in Cheltenham and she is flustered. I am in … Continue reading
Classic tech guard
The tech guard are metal miniatures from Games Workshop that date back to the old Confrontation game in the 1980s. They are identified as a type of hive ganger, which … Continue reading
A pair of Red Templars
I found another couple of random Space Marine miniatures while preparing this tray, and so now I have two more Red Templars painted. The tactical marine with flamer is turned … Continue reading
Classic drakes
Today’s painting update is a pair of strange beasts from the 1980s. When I bought them, they were being marketed as drakes. I think originally they were sculpted as dragons. … Continue reading
Classic beastman
Another random plastic miniature from the lower reaches of my bits box. This chaos beastman is another of Games Workshop’s one-part plastics from the 1990s. Painting this figure was an … Continue reading
Classic black orc
This one-part plastic model has been in my collection since the 1990s. I don’t quite remember how it got there – I didn’t buy the box of 10 of these … Continue reading
Still beautiful after all these years
The Warhammer World Facebook page posted a few pictures of the classic Warhammer Quest diorama from the mid-1990s. I posted some pics of my own after I visited, but these … Continue reading
Bretonnian scouts
Two of these models are older than the others, which I guess means this is two third edition models alongside two fifth edition models. One day I will have another … Continue reading
Blood Bowl hobgoblins
Long before their new Age of Sigmar physique, the hobgoblins looked very different indeed. I found these guys in a drawer as I was preparing a Chaos Dwarf team for … Continue reading
Classic chaos marauders
I went full classic on these old metals. I dub up some old chaos shields and some even older chaos transfers to but on those shields. The models themselves paint … Continue reading
Neglected models: Wood Elves
Going through my bits boxes has been a trip through my hobby memories. For a very short time, was building a Wood Elf army in Warhammer, but I abandoned the … Continue reading
Neglected models: classic metal troll
I would have purchased this model in 1994 or 1995. The important thing is, it’s painted now! The photo didn’t come out quite as sharp as I’d hoped, this this … Continue reading
Neglected Wizard painted
Ann’s March painting challenge got me looking at what is left on my current try. The remaining figures from my Dark Elf Blood Bowl team fit the neglect definition of … Continue reading
Kotaku’s classic PC Games list
When I see an article with ‘best of’ in the title I expect to either be disinterested or annoyed by the list, and so it was that I clicked on … Continue reading
Neglected models: classic devil
If I remember correctly, when I bought this model it was based on looking at a grimy catalogue picture. I thought I was buying a vampire figure, so when this … Continue reading
Once upon a Wednesday: Doomdark’s Revenge
I first played Doomdark’s Revenge in the 1980s and fell in love with this 8-bit strategy game straight away. It’s a close as you’ll find on such old systems to … Continue reading
Once upon a Wednesday: Warhammer World classic dioramas
In 2017 I completed my pilgrimage to Warhammer World. One of the memorable parts was seeing the old dioramas that I remembered from the White dwarf episodes of my youth … Continue reading
Flamers complete
It took some time, but I have now finished the bases for the 12 flamers, and so now they are truly complete: I took some inspiration from Louise Sugden in … Continue reading
