If it was, I wondered if it could be brought together to create a timeline for the Goblin Wars, from just the eary old infomation. <br /><br />The idea was a bit of fun, but also I wanted to have a framework for my old pre-slotta miniatures. I decided to seperate the pre-slotta miniatures from the later slotta ones so I could pursue a project that kept that early Warhammer feel to them. So naturally I thought sorting out the background might help with that too, and place the miniatures in a 'historical' context. <br /><br />I agree, a lot of the old pre-slotta miniatures have a lot of character. It's that aspect I wanted to capture and maintain by keeping them in a seperate collection, painting and basing them in a slightly different style, and having the background timelined for them. It was enjoyable as well. :) Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-68085889442245236952017-08-26T18:04:53.547+01:002017-08-26T18:04:53.547+01:00Thank you Zhu, I really enjoyed finding all of the...Thank you Zhu, I really enjoyed finding all of the source material. It was fun to re-read all the old backgrounds, and then link them with photographs of the relevant miniatures. <br /><br />I wanted to capture the feel of the early ranges of Goblins and Dwarves which comes through in the first two editions of Warhammer, and also the background and miniatures from pre-slotta Regiments of Renown. This is why I have seperated oit my pre-slotta Goblins and Dwarves into a seperate collection and project. <br /><br />You're right about humans. Despite the Half Orcs sacking the already founded human settlement of Nuln, it seems that that humans were still backward barbarians. Not a pub in sight! :( Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-44499795963944538682017-08-26T08:32:04.998+01:002017-08-26T08:32:04.998+01:00What a great trip down memory lane, and fantastic ...What a great trip down memory lane, and fantastic work piecing all the information together into one timeline.<br />There was a lot more character in the older stuff, keep up the great workDave Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398737478468720431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-14243330102704348852017-08-25T20:16:52.651+01:002017-08-25T20:16:52.651+01:00Excellent work piecing together all the different ...Excellent work piecing together all the different infos to build a picture of the campaign, and all the miniatures look great. Fun to think the Dwarfs already had pubs whilst humans were still running around in animal furs and hitting each other with clubs.<br /><br />I concur there is definitely a different feel to the earlier citadel releases and warhammer, which you have really caught here. Great stuff.Zhu Bajieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945636483237344750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-64920735471554354462017-08-23T21:45:57.821+01:002017-08-23T21:45:57.821+01:00Thank you, glad you like what I have done.

I was fun to do, but I need to paint more miniatures for it really! <br /> <br />I had now idea about Mudat's Half Orcs either until I started re-reading the old Regiments of Renown backgrounds. I like how some of the Regiments of Renown interacted with each other.
