While these old Chaos miniatures are getting harder to come by these days, there are folks making their own in the style of Oldhammer. Folks like Warmonger Miniatures, and especially Knightmare Miniatures.
@@SnakeWorksStudioyou won’t be disappointed. The base game can be had for fairly cheap. The expansions are more expensive and you don’t really need them to enjoy it although they are good. It can be played solo which is great fun, but the best is to play with mates and beers. It’s brutal but that’s what makes it such a laugh!
You are not wrong, the mid to late 80's and into the early 90's had the best chaos miniatures ever, the original chaos dwarfs were far better than what came later as well
The Whirlwind (the Warhammer Fantasy one, not the Space Marine one) might work well in its intended role as a weapon in rank-and-flank combat. Soldiers, locked in formation, shoulder to shoulder with their mates, can't necessarily get out of the way quickly from a spinning death machine. The ones in the back may be just confused why their mates in front at panicking and trying to push past them, the Sergeant smacking them with a weapon to stay in formation. Then again, even if the regiment does run away, that's also good for the Whirlwind operator. It means the infantry block broke cohesion. Making it easier to be chased down by faster Chaos troops and cut down, assuming the infantry don't rout entirely. (I don't know the Whirlwind's rules, so I can't say if it has any Fear and/or Horror effects.) Obviously, this pushed war machine would be replaced within the larger Chaos ranks by the Slaanesh Daemon chariots, that do the same scything death function but much faster. You don't worry about whether the opponent will break and run. Not when you're just driving straight over them, like a lawnmower.

The grim reaper figure was based on the character Torqumada from Nemesis The Warlock in 2000ad👍👍
I managed to get hold of the skelly warrior and the jester familiar, love the old metal sculpts. Not sure about the chaos centaur murder pram.
I love the one with the big two handed sword. It’s used in the Heroes for Dungeonquest expansion, which is one of the best board games ever.
I need to play that game! you just reminded me. thanks!

Mybparents chucked away so much of my Warhammer. I would have many of these sculpts.
part of the mass binning of the mid 1990s I would imagine! we all went through that phase. sadly!
Slambo was used as the template for the heroquest chaos warrior sculpt. So your connection was right.
I’m from Norwich too
Naaaaarich power!

I use that very same Carte d'Or tub for basing material 😆 That grim reaper geezer is amazing though. I shall have to locate one!

Love the reaper... I am lucky to have several of these sculps. I will have to find the reaper though 😏
I 💘 "Puppet Face"!
The fur on the Flesh Hound would look better on Elmo.
I love Elmo!!
