So these are my models in chronological order. There aren’t eight of them, as I’ve only just really started getting into the hobby, so I’ve chosen a luxury item at the end of it.
1. Original Blood Bowl elf
Now I realise this is an old figure and I have only just gotten into the hobby, but this I remember from when my brother bought Blood Bowl way back when. I remembered it so well that by typing ‘Blood Bowl Elf’ into google I found the below pic almost immediately. I loved the Mohican!
2. Citadel Dragon Master
This mini is here as one year my brother convinced me to buy it and paint it up for Mothers Day. He bought the Lava Dragon and needless to say did most of the painting on both of them. Still, I got the kudos of being able to say I had done it.
3. Space Hulk Genestealer
Again, this one is more a memorable model than one I had any dealings with. I loved the sci-fi effect of it, and my brother painted the models he had in the original blue and pink colours. Having not seen the film Alien at this age, I thought the genestealers were based on the Alien. But now I see that I was off the mark. Not completely though – there’s definitely some resemblance.
4. Reaper lemur cleric et al
These figures I just love! I’ve managed to buy two of the triple so far, just missing the hedgehog hero, which I am searching eBay for. So far they remain unpainted as I am never around paint when it’s open, but that’ll be sorted one day. For now, have a pic from the Reaper website on how the lemur can be painted.
5. Sister Anja
‘My’ mini (well, Mortis’ if we’re being honest) for the Mortis Quest game. I love the way he’s painted her up (again – not getting me anywhere near paint at the moment) and she’s a fab little character. She’s even written a memoir post about the first Quest she was on. So this mini has to be included.
6. Warmachine Protectorate of Menoth
The model below is more an idea of a set of minis that I like. I keep meaning to buy some Menoth minis to be able to start playing Warmachine, and am yet to get around it. Seraching through google images I came across the below mini, which I like as it reminds me of Ludo from Labyrinth. Just the stance – it looks a bit bumbling.
7. Reaper Mousling Zombies
Okay, so these are in here to satisfy my girly need for something cute (like the platypus mage and others at number 4, but look at them – they’re so cute!!!! And that’s the entire reason they’re in the list.
8. My luxury item
Can’t believe I managed to remember/find seven mini’s that I liked to be honest, but sticking an eighth one in would have just been a case of flicking through random pics of mini’s to find one, and that would have no meaning whatsoever. So for my luxury item I would choose to take Mortis. I know, soppy as hell, but at least he could try and think of something to do with the above eight models, unlike me, who would be stuck on a desert island with eight mini’s and nothing to do with them!!
Hmm....hang on - is that Mortis or Gary Oldman? Or is there any difference?!
