For lovers of Warhammer & Games Workshop products from before the turn of the millennium.

Rules

  1. Be awesome! We are all here to share our hobby, so lets share the love.
  2. Posts should be about GW products from the last millennium, but old stuff in general and modern oldhammer style miniatures are also welcome.
  3. No Buying and selling. I’m sure folks will be happy to help you identify or even give a good indication of worth, but leave it at that.

An old GSC patriarch being ready to be painted! The charm and detail on this model is something I miss with genestealers!

This is a great model, I'd love to have one in my collection. I'm not impressed with the modern "here's a big genestealer" models.

Agree, they just have a different vibe. The new one is a king killing machine of the killing machines.

The old one feels like an out of space pope you try to negotiate with to save your planet from the nids. They tend to serve very different purposes.

I just finished painting it up so I'll post it later, but the little details like it wearing rings and it's chair having Sudo religious iconography is amazing
