I am trying to collect the full range of Ral Partha Wizards Warriors and Warlocks, so if you are willing to part with any duplicates I would be most interested in buying them (or swapping for other old lead).

I remember the Fiend Factory fondly and I've still got Harry too 'need to paint him', a mate of mine recently sold off his Asgard Dwarf army,really great figures especially when you see the one with the spear you've got ranked up in 50's.

All long gone now. I recently found a load of unpainted Citadel figures from 30 years ago and eBayed them. I could have kept hold of them but I was never going to paint them and they'd have just sat in a box for another 30 years. The proceeds have been re-invested in some 6mm AWI which will get some use!Broedershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218127480258279732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783118874383089969.post-49496719783093694922012-05-02T10:31:03.806+01:002012-05-02T10:31:03.806+01:00I had a few of these but some are showing their ag...I had a few of these but some are showing their age, awful compared to today's figures but brought a glint back to my dry angry heart!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783118874383089969.post-67791154298722015402012-05-02T09:48:52.181+01:002012-05-02T09:48:52.181+01:00What a haul!

Get Mr KP to post you some of that boxful and then paint them for him. All good practice after all. :)<br /><br />I think most wargamers are just like Dave, surrounded by enough unpainted lead to shield them from a nuclear blast. After all it is much quicker to buy this stuff than to get it painted, lets think its the 2nd of May today and so far I've bought, a Flames of War rulebook a platoon of Secrets of the Third Reich infantry, an Ogre Chieftan for Songs of Blades and Heroes and an Orc Fleet for Uncharted Seas. So thats my buying in 2 days, my painting is a miserable 5 figures. :(GordonYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700830322475156170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783118874383089969.post-25127248404428867492012-05-02T07:54:32.752+01:002012-05-02T07:54:32.752+01:00Oh, they bring back some memories.
