    Hello all, Jim here!

    Like a lot of people I was into Warhammer Fantasy a lot as a kid, but then real life got in the way, before getting back into it in my 30s. My brother sent me a Citadel starter paint kit during lockdown and told me to get some minis!

    I started off with a Start Collecting Seraphon box, and very quickly found myself buying minis quicker than I could paint them! Especially once I started looking at the older models from my childhood on eBay!

    To date I have painted:

    12x Saurus warriors (+2 metal Saurus Lords)
    8x Saurus knights
    1x Troglodon
    5x Chameleon Skinks
    1x Oxyotl
    12x Skinks with clubs and bucklers
    1x Warhammer Underworlds: Starblood Stalkers
    2x Saurus Oldbloods
    1x Saurus Sunblood
    1x Slann Starmaster
    1x Old Kroak
    1x New Kroak
    15x Saurus Guard (+2 Metal Standard Bearers)
    1x Eternity Warden
    8x Skink heroes/mages/metal models
    1x Tichi-Huichi's Raiders + Inxi-Huinzi (a shamefully expensive eBay purchase!)
    1x Realmshaper Engine
    and 1x Blot Toad

    I also have a massive pile of shame that includes 2 Start Collecting Skink boxes, a metal Tiktaq'to, and a BloodBowl Team that I am converting.

    I have come across this forum a few times when looking for painting inspiration (including just now as I was looking at Stegadons!) and so decided to finally join so I had somewhere to share my models once they are done.

    Welcome to Jurassic Park!

    Take a good look around the forum (especially the Warhammer Fantasy section where we are keeping the 8th Edition alive!) as there are a lot of hidden gems.

    And lots of helpful people for any questions!

    Enjoy!

    Best, LoR

    Welcome along!

    That is an impressive army already!!
    Good luck painting your Stegadon.

    If you'd like you can start a painting blog to show of your painted and wip miniatures
    And if you have questions just ask

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Definitely!

    It's a great motivator to know that forumites will chime in with encouragement, tips and praise.

    I thought for a minute that we had been blessed by the author of Game of Thrones himself, then noticed the new arrival's first initial was a J rather than a G ;)

    Welcome to the jungle! Have you taken up good old Warhammer Fantasy once again to relive your childhood, or have you evolved with the times and moved onto AoS?

    Regardless, I trust you are going to enjoy your stay.

    As much as ranks of square bases look cool this new collection is entirely on AoS round bases, even my Tichi-Huichi's Raiders + Inxi-Huinzi, so I hope I don't get too many raised eyebrows!

    Am hoping to take some time taking some proper photos of them all so I can share them all with everyone soon.
