Miniatures & Painting - Warhammer 40k

In my late teens I started playing 3rd edition Warhammer 40000, but in truth I was more interested in the mini collecting and painting aspect of the hobby. I still have all of those original models, plus some newer kits bought over the years mainly for display purposes. I haven't played the game(s) outside of a PC/console game for over 20 years.

They still do have one of the best quality plastic kits on the market. Not quite Bandai standard, but far better than most miniature companies.

Their resin ranges really were the pits though!

Completed model galleries:

The list of individual models and photos is too long for this page, so they are split out by faction. These pages list all of my owned models, including those that are not yet finished. Completed figures are highlighted in the gallery pages above.
