They have a personality each of there own, and the detail on them is amazing. They are a joy to paint and inspire the imagination. Some of the shoulder pads and belt buckles are wonderful. <br />The Black Orcs were good too, the Imperial Guard were ok. <br />His Ral Patha is generally good, as are some of the random odds and ends he has done for Reaper, etc. <br /><br />However, I really dislike the squats he did, and continues to make (under the name Scrunties I think, which sounds worse than Squats!). I think he was partly responsible for thier demise, some of the guns were too wierd looking even for Rogue trader gaming. The Space Pirates were awful too. <br />The Iron Claw undead were flat looking, and the few Elves he did had shovel looking spears. I never had any of the Dwarves, but was not really too keen on them. I think he did some similar stuff for Essex minatures. <br /><br />By the way, thank you for reminding me of the army list update in the old White Dwarf, that will come in handy :) .<br /><br />It will be great to see the combat cards, I only have a couple of the sets which I got a lot later than the 1980's but they are in poor condition :( <br />A good set of Townscape will be good to see too. Mine got squashed when moving house and then consigned to the loft.

The skaven are a must have and some of them are in my collection. These are not the stereotype models GW puts out today but more a bunch of individuals.<br />The Combat Cards, well I have one or two sets somewhere but cannot figure out why I bought them years ago.<br />The Townscape Sets was and is a milestone. I have a pdf of it an frequently rebuild one or two models when they fade in colour. <br />Markus Schenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923558453104939851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-64421487224051194332013-05-19T10:31:00.974-07:002013-05-19T10:31:00.974-07:00Bob Olley... definitely a great sculptot with a pe...Bob Olley... definitely a great sculptot with a personnal touch.

About a week ago I was digging trough a big box with a lot of old citadel/GW stuff in my basement looking for an old warhammer house I built in the early 90s. To my surprise I found the Monster Combat Cards. Never used and in as new condition. I had no idea I had them so this was a bit like Xmas /HansDon Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746248229177370886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-15906185864822387122013-05-19T04:30:06.248-07:002013-05-19T04:30:06.248-07:00I am a fervent Olley-ite (as I have previously pro...I am a fervent Olley-ite (as I have previously proclaimed) and simply love his work for Ral Partha.
