Greetings!

[J.R.R. Martin]

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.

Thanks for the friendly welcome! I will absolutely start a painting log to record my various ups and downs and look forward to getting people's feedback!

Definitely!

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

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.
