I have a fairly whimsical approach to uploading. I have a huge pile of retro Warhammer stuff that I feel readers of this blog would be interested in. There's so much of it in fact, that I feel it will take me years to get all the literature scanned and published online. I have had a few requests for this and that (White Dwarf 92 will be with you shortly) but generally I just put up what takes my fancy and consider useful to others.
Fantasy Miniatures was the first hardback book that GW published that set out to document the miniature painting hobby. It concerned itself with the Golden Demon Painting Awards of 1988 (the second held by GW) as well as the generous helping of staff work unseen, generally, in the pages of WD.
It is a thick slice of retro heaven!
I am sure that many of you may already own this book and the others (two further volumes were produced; one in 1989 and another in 1990) but I am aware that many people may not have seen these classic books. I've not seen them available on-line before so I'm sharing them with you all as the pages of the book are stuffed with inspiration.
Here's a little overview so you know what you're getting...
P2-4: A brief introduction that outlines the development of Citadel miniatures and the rise of fantasy miniature painting in general. I enjoyed reading this; particularly because the writing treats you as an adult rather than bombasting you with nonsense as is the whim of modern GW - no 'really coolz' or 'awesome miniaturez' here thankfully.
P5-7: A selection of staff shots, including a 'rogue's gallery' of the studio painters circa 1988. The haircuts are something else I can tell you! Some really nice miniatures here too!
P8-9: A gallery of Paul Benson's work. A true retro painter's hero!
P10-11: The legendary Frazer Gray's work is profiled.
P12-12: Michael Immig's fantastic dioramas are discussed (as seen in WD100).
P14-37 Selected Miniatures from the 1988 Golden Demon Awards.
P38-39 A short, simple painting guide- doesn't treat you like an idiot though!
And there we have it. Eventually, I'll get around to uploading the other two books but for the meantime there is plenty here to enjoy. These books serve me as perfect 'lavatory reading' and I have been flicking through them for years. Every time I do, I spot something different or I'm encouraged to track down a particular model on eBay.
What strikes me when looking through these books about miniature painting is, though technically, products and application have moved on considerably since the late 80s, the creativity seems to have been lost. There are truly some astonishingly crazy things going on in the pages and some of the ideas are bizarre to say the least... Additionally, there is not an abundance of spikes, skulls or general grim dark nonsense.
If I were asked to choose a favourite?
It would probably be Mark Harrison's Monster Tree on page 35 (and the back cover) as I love the way its eating its own apples.

Absolutely fantastic stuff. Back in the days when GW customers were "allowed" to have an imagination of their own...
ReplyDeleteremember seeing some of these mini's shown in "G.M. Magazine". man i missed that mag (before it went "international").
ReplyDeletethanks Orlygg
Love this upload. For me I missed all this 3E stuff as a kid as I was to young. Discovering all this is great, especially with each new upload. Really helps my Warhammer 3E education.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this. Thank you very much sir!
ReplyDeleteHow much genius can one book hold?
ReplyDeleteOut of the many highlight some of my faves are the mug of snotlings, the jet bikers catching a rogue dreadnought, Macragge and tarantula?!, dragon with ghetto-blaster...
Hey, that's my kitchen table in that there pic! =)
ReplyDeleteHey ... I'm in that book! I remember the day well. The amount of talent, from both staff artists and all the entrants was amazing. To see some of these in the flesh is amazing ... and I still have my four models shown in the book, so maybe I'll fish them out and take some updated pics.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for posting.

The need for such expertise arose when I faced significant complications while trying to withdraw a substantial amount of money—$205,560 to be precise—from an investment company. Initially, everything seemed to be going smoothly; however, issues began to surface when I attempted to access my funds. I was informed that I needed assistance from Bitcoin miners to process the withdrawal. Despite this advice, I found myself unable to retrieve my money. The situation was exacerbated by the fact that I had made all my investment deposits using various undetectable cryptocurrencies. This added another layer of complexity to the issue. I had hoped that my initial investments would be secure and that accessing them would be straightforward. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the problem on my own, the challenges proved insurmountable.

I vowed from the beginning never to be a cheat and stood my ground to ensure I built a happy home but unfortunately my wife never trusted me enough. I wandered for months trying to get her back and sought help from various sources including her family intervention but never yielded success. I came in contact with Dr Ilekhojie who I doubted at the earlier stage when i got in contact with. I had to keep hope alive and complied with the procedures just the way he explained everything to me. He assured me of her return with 3 days once he is finished with his reconciliation ritual. It was the third that when she called that it dawned on me that everything Dr Ilekhojie said was true because i earlier met people who promised but failed. I am telling everyone about Dr Ilekhojie and his kind heart for helping people. Call/whatsapp +2348147400259 Email; gethelp05@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy life was turned upside down when I lost a substantial amount of money due to a sophisticated hacking scheme. I had invested heavily in Dogecoin and participated in several airdrops, which accumulated a significant sum in my wallet. One day, I received a seemingly legitimate notification to update my wallet. The message appeared to come from an official Dogecoin support account, prompting me to follow a link to perform the update. Unbeknownst to me, this link was a trap designed to compromise my wallet. After following the link and entering the required information, I discovered that all my funds—totaling $890,000—had been transferred to an unknown wallet, leaving my account entirely empty. The shock and despair I felt at that moment were overwhelming. My hard-earned money, meticulously saved and invested, was gone in an instant, and the emotional and financial impact was catastrophic. The loss of such a large sum not only devastated my finances but also took a severe toll on my mental health. I found myself unable to function properly, consumed by anxiety and helplessness. It felt as though my entire world had come crashing down. I struggled to see a way out of this nightmare, but I was fortunate enough to have someone like Dr. Mike in my corner. When I reached out to Dr. Mike about my situation, he was incredibly supportive and understanding. He recognized the severity of my predicament and immediately introduced me to (FRANCISCO HACK). Dr. Mike had previously worked with (FRANCISCO HACK) to help one of his patients who had been scammed through a binary options scheme. He assured me that they were a reputable firm capable of recovering lost funds, and he believed they could trace the wallet where my stolen money had been sent. With Dr. Mike's recommendation, I contacted (FRANCISCO HACK). They began by gathering all the details and documentation related to my case. Their team of experts was thorough and professional, explaining each step of the process and providing reassurance throughout. They assured me that their specialized tools and techniques could track down the stolen funds and recover them. I was astonished by the efficiency of F r a n c i s c o h a c k @ q u a l i t y s e r v i c e . c o m Within just two weeks, they managed to trace the stolen funds and recover not only the original amount of $890,000 but also the interest that had accrued from the investment. The returned funds, including the bonus, were deposited back into my wallet. The speed and success of their recovery process were nothing short of miraculous. The recovery of my funds had an immense impact on my life. Not only did it restore my financial stability, but it also brought back a sense of normalcy and hope. The recovery allowed me to reclaim my home and reestablish a sense of security for my family. We were able to rebuild our lives, and the stress and anxiety that had plagued me for weeks began to dissipate. I am immensely grateful to (FRANCISCO HACK) for their exceptional support and dedication. Their expertise and swift action were crucial in recovering my lost funds and helping me through this challenging period. For anyone who has fallen victim to similar scams, I highly recommend reaching out to (FRANCISCO HACK). Their team offers a lifeline to those who have been defrauded and provides a real chance to recover lost assets.In sharing my experience, I hope to offer hope to others who may be struggling with similar issues.

ReplyDeleteI'm Joe. After a busy day at work, I always dedicate some time to researching my profession through Google, seeking to expand my knowledge. Recently, while exploring information about cancer and methods to detect and prevent it at an early stage, I came across a comment section discussing various medical opinions. Amidst this, an advertisement caught my eye about trading platforms. The ad featured a compelling story and claimed that one could easily earn substantial profits by investing. Intrigued by the narrative and the apparent success stories, I decided to reach out to the trading platform and invest $4,500, convinced that I would make an equivalent return of $4,500 as promised. Initially, everything seemed to be going as promised, but soon, I found myself being pressured to make additional payments to my trading account. The constant demands for more funds created an unsettling feeling, but I was assured that these payments were necessary to secure my earnings. I became increasingly anxious as the payments continued, and despite my growing concerns, I complied, believing it was necessary to protect my initial investment. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when I was informed that I needed to make further payments to facilitate the withdrawal of my accumulated profits. By this point, I had already invested a staggering $250,208, far exceeding my initial commitment. Despite my attempts to withdraw the purported profit amount of $1,398,646, every transaction failed. It became evident that I had been scammed. Desperate to recover my funds, I began researching potential solutions and stumbled upon Francisco Hack. I was reassured by their reputation and decided to contact them for assistance. Within an hour of reaching out, Francisco Hack responded and inquired about the details of my situation. I provided them with all the necessary information and evidence of the lost funds, hoping for a resolution. To my amazement, Francisco Hack was remarkably efficient. Just 25 hours after my initial contact, they successfully recovered my funds. This swift action and resolution were beyond my expectations. I am incredibly grateful for their services and their dedication to helping clients in distress. Francisco Hack’s professionalism and effectiveness in handling my case were outstanding. For anyone facing a similar situation or in need of assistance with recovering lost funds, I wholeheartedly recommend Francisco Hack. Their expertise and prompt response were instrumental in resolving my issue, and I believe they are among the best in the field. Their help has restored my faith in getting justice and recovering lost investments.
