Sweet! A small wave of nostalgia for me. It’s exactly from the time I had my first contact with Warhammer Fantasy 😊
That's awesome!
A great video Lee. As the other commenter said GW doesn’t do stuff like this anymore, they’d rather sell you something. A bit sad.
Thanks, Neil! I love the books from this era. I'll have to get the miniature painting one next.
I've got the earlier edition of this (1996) and they're great little books. As much as I know they want to sell their scenery, I do wish they'd kept books like this around to compliment their own kits.
Hey sorry to bring this comment back from the dead (yes, I do collect Vampire Counts/Soulblight). How big is the difference between the two editions?
Does anyone remember the old LotR tabletop magazine? Great terrain ideas in almost every Issue!.
I'll be coming back to this when working on my Modular Battle Masters modular board idea.
The open field tabletop is ideal for Napoleonic battles ..hard assed British cavalry charging against the french at Waterloo....or Henry V's archers at Agincourt
You should review the 1998 edition 😂
I'll work backwards 🤣 I got so fed up not getting an Imperial Guard codex that I nought the 3rd edition recently 🤪
GW wouldn't publish something like this today!
It's interesting to see how they have grown over the years. I've got some 3rd edition Imperial Guard & Catachan codex books to upload at next.
@@tabletopskirmishgames I made a chaos gate on a small desert board using this book. Good times thankyou for the nostalgia.
So cool!
It's true there is a place for youtube and seeing how it's done , but there is something about a book, that you can leave open and referenced and have it by you while modeling/building
I remember GW being consumer and gamer friendly, this was a great video and the timing is cosmic because Iam creating a Shrine World a Forgue World and a Forest battlefield for 40k!
Had this on my old computer and would flip through it as I was starting the hobby, but eventually I got hard copies of both editions. Love these books
Nice! I just ordered the miniatures one, looking forward to going through it.
@@tabletopskirmishgames that was another great one
This Book is so old that Ultramarines still had yellow pads instead of Gold
I had forgotten about those books. Would love to have both of them. Great video Lee.
Thanks, Dean!
In mine there were no Lord of the Rings so it would mean it is older... Lee, you make an old man feel vintage 🤣
Haha it certainly does feel that way when looking back in these books.
This book, alongside the Warhammer Fantasy General's Compendium, remain two of the best resources for hobby wargaming ever. Absolutely worth picking up, even if you're just getting into wargaming.
That’s a hot tip about the generals compendium. I just went and found it, fantastic stuff
There are even earlier books, showing collecting army's from the old Fantasy range and the 40k range, also a few books over the years showing how to paint your Army, even sections on Horses, cold ones, your Orks, Elves, etc, and a while back there was a book that was bind by spiral wire and came with a DVD. As I have been a collector of Fantasy and Games Workshop 40K Imperial guard Catachan Army, I don't play the game, love the kits. As I'm an Injured Veteran who got hurt back in 2008 from an IED, I live out of a wheelchair and have a carer most times throughout my week. The hobby has saved me too many times I can say, I model military, Zombies, and lots of Sci-Fi, but love building Japanese aircraft from WW2, as I'm an artist to help pay for my hobby and I show Sculptures from gemstones and I have shown my work around NSW, and other parts of Australia, my name on youtube is my ghost name because people don't understand Service personal, Cheers from DownUnder.
Always great to hear from you, Bob. I'd love to see those earlier books, will keep an eye out on Ebay. Also be cool to see your artwork hello@tabletopskirmishgames.com
It's actually reasonably easy to find this book online as a pdf. Not like GW is going to sell it anytime soon. Might as well download.
Fantastic
Such a great book. Thanks for watching!
Wednesday was my favourite chapter
Got it but wish GW would update it to modern standards, though even by olden days yu can still achieve miracles an mini scales.
I've got some old codex books to have a look at next. It's fun to see how much the hobby has changed with GW since these weer published.
I had this and found it useful. Good way to make cheap terrain
Nice! I've got the miniature painting book on the way to cover next; looks good too.
Part of it is that there simply wasn’t a lot of ready made terrain for sale, back then. Not to the extent that it’s available now, from GW and others.
It seems obvious now I read your comment, but I never thought of that! 🤣
You didn't cover the tank painting book...lol...was kinda hoping you would, I wouldn't mind getting ma hands on a copy, is there an updated version of both books..?
Here it is th-cam.com/video/zhXXf53zhk4/w-d-xo.html
@@tabletopskirmishgames cheers mate & I'll consider the commission thing mate...😁👍
@@tabletopskirmishgames Lee, a while back I bought a box of 60 sector imperialis 32mm bases but disappointed to say they consist of 4 frames of repeats... suffice to say I've only used 6 on ETB Reivers...if you leave forwarding details they're yours mate....free to a good home...lol 😁👍
WELLL yes i just got back doing that i did an inderel thing not dun but be vid soon when its dun
Lee mate, how much would I be looking at for getting Mortarion painted up to box art quality..?
Hi John, I can take on commissions for writing, media, cartoons, and video work but not painting sorry. That's way above my painting skill level too. I don't know any painters who take on commissions, but if anyone has any recommendations, please add them to the comments. In the meantime I'll ask around too. Sorry I couldn't help with Mortarion.
@@tabletopskirmishgames Modest as well...lol...I've seen some of your work & although you said your skill level is nowhere near as good as box art quality.l. you've still got some nice colour schemes...maybe i'm aiming too high mate
Lee, I asked you about a week ago if you took on commission jobs but I think it went unanswered...?
Hi John, sorry I missed that one. Sure do, drop me a line at hello@tabletopskirmishgames.com
This book in my mind, is the locked in aesthetic of warhammer. It is a deep, dreadful pain to watch kids struggle to participate in warhammer due to the high price, when all you really need is some foam core and a cereal box. I think we lost something more important that just neat nostaliga with the move away from books like this.
Well said. With my new game, Population Z, we are focussing on that side of the hobby. It's so fun to craft some terrain out of junk and then play with it on the tabletop.
It's sad seeing how far GW has fallen when it comes to encouraging customers to get creative vs selling you something. Nostalgia trip for sure.
There are far better terrain books than that.
