Thanks, and I was thinking about having a flying carpet or two, but couldn't find any units that would fit into my araby themed army atm with TOW.

Actually looking at them, they might be more heavily armoured than you'd like but there are quite a few with pole arms

Yeah, I loved and always supported otherworld miniatures for many years. But like you said, the scale of them is different, and they would stand out a lot more when compared to the citadel ad&d ones.

Thanks, glad people are enjoying my hobbying 🙂

Thanks man! 🙂

I ask because I just painted a classic Fimir and Skullface Thug this week and I am second guessing my normal sealing methods.

That's awesome man! Both the fimir and skullface thug are great minis from old citadel.

I seal all my minis with a brush on varnish. And I have been working with both pewter and lead for over 12 years of hobbying and never have any corrosion/rot occur 🙂

Way way too kind words my friend. Really appreciate it. And that's what I usually try to do with all my oldhammer minis. With how rare and nostalgic they are, I want to give them as much effort as I can. And haha yes sir! The desert cav will hopefully be done soon 😉

I have used blue stuff for shields but not really trusting it for full scale minis.

Haha I'll definitely record this army, 🤣

I was going to do empire, but imo the units don't have enough diversity/theme to fit araby if that makes any sense? And I'm trying to play armies that aren't seen aniugh at my events, and empire imo has enough players where I play 🙂

That's awesome man! Hope I'm giving good ideas for your araby army! It's a shame araby hasn't gotten a lot of love from the wider warhammer fantasy community.

Thanks! I'm beyond motivated to get a small force to play soon 🫣

@enricocorradini2185 that's awesome! After my araby I'll be jumping back into my small nippon force as well 🙂

Haha I have to agree the modern orges really aren't my vibe tbh. And I know which champion you're talking about! Never pulled the trigger since I was worried about the size of him. And I'm sure you'll be able to pick up a few more of these classics orges for your own collection 🙂

@@Yong-Duke He's not especially smaller than the other C23 at least not to the same extent that the troopers from Golgfag's are. With the change in the models while I much prefer the old models for the great majority of factions I am prepared to accept that for the most part it's just a preference. Ogres I think are the one where it's closest to an objective reality that the old models are just better! Perhaps it's accentuated by them not having even been a faction as such when all the best models were made. I do like most of the ones that came out in the few years after C23 - some of the Bob Olley ones, the Marauder ones (though I think the captain is a big cut above most of the others), the ones that were recently rereleased as 'Badlands Ogres' especially the standard bearer (which I do have). The Bloodbowl Ogre himself, based on the C23 Gladiator, is also a classic. C23 is the gold standard though. I don't expect to be buying too many at Ebay prices in the near future unfortunately. Since then an honourable mention to the Maneater Ninja and that's about it...

@ClydeMillerWynant I agree 100 percent, I know some modern ranges are absolutely gorgeous but I think I'm too stuck in the past with the classics 😅😆. And I would agree that orges for sure got a downgrade when compared to their older sculpt counterparts. The occasional Maneater - like the ninja one, and goldfag (modern one) are some gems in their current design. Bob Olley and the marauder orges are absolutely great as well, I just don't have much memory nor nostalgia for them. But that's not to take away from how good their sculpts are as well.

@@Yong-Duke There's a really mournful looking Bob Olley one with a two-handed mace that would be the Ogre I would choose to represent myself. He's still on the margins of my top ten though which would be almost all C23.

Haha 100 percent agree, I just love all the character and simplicity of these classics 😁

Thanks, all my warhammer old world armies have been and will be these classic minis. Feels right for the return of this legendary game/world 🙂

Yes i have this awesome mminiatur e sculpted by Justin coutange ! Unfortunately hé. Passed away a few years ago

I believe I have seen him in a few vampire counts army but have yet to find a place for him in my collection 🙂

For sure, was just worried about having too many mercenaries, it would look more like a dog of war army (which I'm also working on). But you're right having a merc unit or two would fit right in with the araby force 😁

For sure, wish they made a few more tbh 😅

For sure 100 percent agree. Surprisingly for me, it seems to be hard to find the damaged models to pick up. 😕 some of the miniatures I cut up, also cuts a small piece of my hobby soul 😅😆

Probably 🤔 . Now looking at the mini again the connection point is quite small. Most likely will have to pin mine to make sure he doesn't break again.

Thanks 🙂 , and would have lpved to see the orges of yours! Definitely need to catch up and get that game in 😉🙂

"Used", does that mean you don't have them now?

@@jprp999 Still got em! Used as in once used them as... :)

@@angerworm good stuff.

@@jprp999 One thing I've learned over the years is not to let go of the oldhammer models!

Ah that makes a ton more sense 😅. I did notice and commented on the heads he had, but was wondering how the hell the sword would chip off heads 😆

Oh really?!? I wouldn't have expected that. I guess I'll definitely have to put more effort when I get around to painting the mutant.

Very true, will sit on it for a few more days 🙂. Won't chop any of these orges until I'm 100 percent sure I have a concrete vision.

@Yong-Duke A thought... add a crescent 🌙 either horizontal or vertical to the front of the crest...?

@Lee-o7u4t yeah maybe some freehand will help him fit a bit more into the araby army 😁

Oh dude that's sick! I always liked the lore of Malal. I can't remember the name of the chaos warrior mounted and discounted champion of Malal, but always adored that chaos champ as well. Good luck with the Malal warband, I'm sure it's gonna be kickass.

Saved my some typing.

@@Yong-Duke Thank you! I believe he's called Kaleb Daark. He's such a cool mini too, I've been keeping an eye out to try and get him at a decent price to lead my warband :D

@Tim1000064 yeah that name sounds about right! And I'm sure you'll get the mini to complete the badass warband of Malal followers 😁

@@Yong-Duke Thank you!

Oh really!?!?! Need to catch up and see what he's been up to 👀

Hm tbh I'm not entirely sure. Need to brush up a bit more of the bestiary lore of both Cathay and nippon 🤔

@ i looked it up it says they were part of Cathay

@@jackruby6696 I think we can probably safely say that came long after these boys were made though please correct me if I'm wrong. 'Men of the Orient' was really there as a vehicle for people to use the models that were knocking around due to 70s/80s samurai and martial arts crazes so was essentially Nippon and I don't recall them having Ogres in 2nd or 3rd Ed though there was no more reason for them not to employ them than for anyone else of course.

@kempo79 Thanks both Joe and I went over the tablea and set them up to how we usually play or view warhammer games as well.

Thanks! It's gonna be a fun project for sure 😁. And I'm glad more people are able to find out about this amazing piece of citadels history.

Having watched more of the video now, you make that exact point! Sorry for being a bit redundant! 😂

@mathuxley7264 haha no worries man, I always enjoy the conversions in the comment section. And praising nick bibby isn't anything to apologize about 🙂.

​@Yong-Duke Agreed, I just wish he'd stayed with us instead of going off to be a proper grown up sculptor! No idea of the details, but I get the impression he was treated a bit poorly by the miniatures industry. Alternative Armies in the UK are re-releasing a lot of his early Asgard Miniatures sculpts, which are definitely worth looking at. Some aren't his best work, but most are fantastic

@mohussain4792 thanks. And for sure this miniature definately is a holy Grail for collectors. And yeah I heard he started doing bronze sculptures. He truly is talented in all forms of art.

@@mohamedmaiza3866 really?!?! Maybe the market shifted? 😅🤔

@@Yong-Duke maybe it's that specific seller. Did you get the paper wing parts with the dragon?

@mohamedmaiza3866 I believe there were no paper wings, you had to create your own. There were instructions that gave good tips on how to apply/create wings for the membrane.

@@Yong-Dukethe original box had a paper sheet with templates for the wing membranes, but they’re easy to replicate from the model.

Yep alternative armies has some amazing sculpts! And glad you looked nick bibby up, he really is such an amazing sculptor and deserves all the love for his amazing artistry.

The Alternative Armies Goodwin and Bibby sculpts were originally released by Asgard Miniatures, Bryan Ansell’s miniature company before he founded Citadel. They are also available in the USA through Viking Forge.

@@angerworm would love to see how you would paint yours!

@@Yong-Duke I only have polaroids from back then.

Will most definitely pin the hell out of the dragon 😁. Don't want to risk him falling apart on the tabletop 😅🤣
