I won't mention everything in the photos, please just enjoy them.
I've never seen these Discworld minis before, they look great.
The 2000AD stuff is fun too
More 2000AD, loving the Gronk
Classic Chaos beastmen, or are they Broo?
More Chaos
Space Orks aplenty. I prefer the look of the Rogue Trader Orks, but these are very nice
Classic Runtbots
Eldar; I think the warrior in lime green armour is from the initial Rogue Trader releases, the Aspect Warriors date to the Codex days
More Aspect Warriors
The best Space Marine chapter; classic RBT01 plastic 'beaky marines'
Chaos dwarves on the top row, proper dwarves down below. The group on the right are Bob Olley sculpts
More of the Dwarven diaspora. There are a couple of Regiments of Renown, Prince Ulthar's Imperial Dwarves and Bugman's Rangers
Empire and villagers, to the right are the lovely Travelling Players
Of course I managed to buy a few bits and pieces. Disappointingly, I couldn't find the chap giving out the Show Mini, but I did pick up some Foundry stuff for my various Old School projects.
These Armed Peasants complete the Linden Way Militia pike block. Last year I got a couple of packs of the Lowly Foot, four of those poses appear here on the left. There are also four other sculpts, including a pipe and tabor chap on the right with a rather short pipe*. This gives me plenty of options for including command in the various human troops I've assembled.
These archers may end up as the Linden Way archers, though I've got something else in mind for them as well.
That's also why I got a pack of Zombies. Note that the chap carrying his lunch is missing his lower right arm; a miscast. Never mind, I'm sure it happens to zombies on a regular basis.
Foundry cast up a few specials from the past for BOYL, including this lovely dwarf wizard. Apparently he's a variant of a previously unreleased mini, and was also available in a rather splendid tall hat.
There were quite a few other temptations that I managed to resist, such as a pack of Bretonian spearmen (complete with slotta bases and a bargain at 8 for £16) and a random pack of elves that I can find no reference to anywhere.
Still, I'm happy with my haul, and it's pretty much all got a place in my future plans.
And finally, perhaps the most important purchase of the day...
Unlimited hot drinks for the day, though since they didn't have any punch or mulled wine this was limited to tea and coffee.
*I'm sure I'll go on at length about how inaccurate the mini is when I get round to painting him.
