I had an absolute blast at the 2nd Heads event organised by Ed from Minisodes at the weekend. A couple of games of 2nd edition (including a huge 3000pt a side one where we managed to get all my Chaos horde out), a game of Space Crusade, and a great time with like minded folk!
I find that it's best not to think about ebay purchases in too much detail...😅
It was an absolute joy to play it again after 30 something years. Thanks for bringing it down to the event!
Cheers! It's been lovely to work on these old models!
Yeah, I know, but it's nice to hear it again 😜 Thanks again for designing all the great tanks and bits of terrain, it really helps get into the period vibe!
Thanks, that's really kind! It's been a load of fun to collect amd paint.
Thanks! Yeah, the pink is eye searingly bright!
Thank you! Having that Dreadnought model has been on my wishlist for 30 odd years, so it was great to finally do one!
Cheers! Yeah, the old sculpts are so characterful, I felt I needed to lean into it with the oldschool banners!
Thanks! It's been really fun working on them!

Because I managed to forget to post it with the other models, my 1500pt 2nd edition #40k #chaos force is rounded with a Retro Evil Knight Battle Tank, designed by @doctorspork.bsky.social

And the link specifically to the youtube recording. This was quite a lot of fun to do, though I had to spend quite a while reminding myself how adobe Premiere! #oldhammer

Here's the collection of #oldhammer #chaos models that I'm using this weekend for an event organised by Ed from #minisodes.
I've dropped more info about this on my oldhammer 40k blog amongstancientstars.blogspot.com and also a recording on youtube m.youtube.com/@necoho_doub...

A few squads for the #oldhammer #40k #chaos force - some veterans, two small terminator units, and a pack of daemonettes.

More #oldhammer #40k - Clavius the Mindfondler, an old #chaos terminator that I am using as a sorcerer, and Xuvis the Mad, a chaos dreadnought. Both Rogue Trader era sculpts.
A painted rogue trader era 40k model of a chaos lord in terminator armour.
I've been on a bit of an #oldhammer #40k streak over the last few months - and apparently not posting here, so I figured I would rectify that! As a start, here's an old Rogue Trader era #chaos lord, Lord Kruult, leader of the Menagerie of the Damned.
Thanks! Working my way through a few "distractions" on the painting shelf before I go back to more Whigs...
One of those inevitable distractions - I fancied painting something different from the 1685 stuff, so here are some British Grenadiers for the American War of Independence- I've had these sat in a box for 12-15 years or so, nice to actually get some paint on them. #painting #miniatures #awi
Some more Whig (or possibly any non-uniformed) cavalry for our 1685 project, and my command stand for Monmouth himself! Figured I should actually paint the man himself! #oneking #miniatures #wargaming
The wagon train moves out! A few random wagons, for any occasion. Again, these are Wargames Foundry models - we mainly use these for our Monmouth/1685 games, but they could be used for a variety of purposes, objectives or scenarios. #oneking #minatures #wargaming
Thanks! Yes, they're lovely old models. I've got a few more dogs of war and old empire models I need to get painted up in a similar style
Thanks!
Some other brightly coloured warhammer models from the cabinet. #oldhammer #warhammer #miniatures #wargaming
A few more old wood elves #wargaming #warhammer #oldhammer #miniatures
Given I had a few minutes before heading off to work, I figured the recently announced GW rerelease of wood elves was a good opportunity to take a few quick photos of my old wood elf army. #warhammer #wargaming #miniatures
Oh, lovely! Nicely done, and a very handy bit of terrain to have! (I need to get round to making some emplacements at some point)
Sorry about that, important dispatches from the front, clearly!
Looking good!
As ever, apparently on review there were quite a few spelling and grammatical mistakes in the heat of battle! Hopefully it all makes sense!
They're actually rather minor, but hopefully provide a bit of flavour. The only other change not on here is that we changed to turn order - initiative, shooting, orders, combat.
We may change a few things going forward once we've had a few more games!
Thanks!
