Been thinking about this period a lot recently. I think the impact of this runs across all areas of production at that time, including miniatures and the evolution of the ‘Eavy Metal style.

One of the very best early ranges!

Although in a confused way these went the other way :)

Stunning work on a classic! I’ve a good few ‘real’ Brets from the period too. The whole range was beautiful IMO

Thanks! Exactly. I think he was originally sculpted for that range, as were a lot of the others (some of the same dollies). Likely ended up at Foundry during Bryan’s exit. Those late 3rd Brets clearly lacked some variety (not to mention the super quick paint jobs the studio did for White Dwarf).

Reclaiming Foundry 100 Years War for the Lady (which is where a lot of these figures started in the first place). Beautiful figures.

Status Wastedhead - Citadel Chaos Dwarf 1987. Love these wee lunatics. #oldhammer #warhammer

Chaos warrior, halfling and wizard. I ended up with those figures and I think all through this.

Heh, I managed three of these I think.

Good grief. The later down and out with the beard and no hat perhaps?

Amazing. Pretty sure the writer didn’t know where that comment was going to go and just rode it out to the bitter end. Got to admire that devil may care attitude in some ways … The video itself was class!

Yes! 100%
Highly recommend The Stuff of Legends website and Collecting Citadel Miniatures Wiki if you’d like more info on these. Both goldmines of info

Hundred Years War 1337 - 1453 Sculpted by Alan & Michael Perry. From Mounted knights to Medieval Peasants, start wargaming the Hundred Years War now!

Those look like older C-series I think. These are them www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/...

Founded by Brian Ansell of Citadel Miniatures fame, and now run by his family. A lot of those ranges switched to Foundry when he sold up. Highly recommend the Hundred Years War Perry range - some rare ex Bretonnian sculpts in there (ghosts of their slotta tabs on some of the castings …)

Please post a link to this when available!

Do it! Lots of great little details once you start on it with a brush

Great textures in the paint job

Rogue Trader Space Ork. Too much fun to paint. #oldhammer #roguetrader #warhammer

Citadel Giant Treeman later known as Kinty for the Tragedy of McDeath. Bought in Southampton in 1983 and finally painted! Love this guy. #oldhammer #warhammer #theoldworld #miniatures #dungeonsanddragons

Lovely stuff. Some of the best dwarves ever there.

Classic!

Both range and writer mean a great deal to me. What a wonderful thing to own.

Love this!

Looks ace! Would love to paint some of these again

Oldest Oldhammer! Citadel CO1 Fighter from 1983. So much creativity (and weirdness) in this range. Strong Dark Souls vibes with this guy. #oldhammer #warhammer #citadel

Thanks!

Already posted recently, but so on theme they get another pop! 15mm Copplestone figures
