Revisiting some old games and bringing them back to life and seeing if they are as good as I remember. This includes a bit of painting and modeling as well was forcing folk to play them.

Back to mighty empires
Stuck with not much to do I have completed my mighty empires collection which I've had for s good thirty years but never painted
Blue empire
The obviously evil red empire
The yellow empire
Space Ork
While tidying up my den I found this model in a bits box and stuck with nothing to do over the weekend I put him back together and repaired those poppy colours.
45 villages
These were the most difficult to paint. 45 if them and they have more details than the cities with ploughed fields and streamsLittle cities
Back in the day I seem to have had a hi at painting one city and one of all the markers for this game. Time for the rest to catch up 
Mighty Empires
Bit stuck for something to do I dug out my old Mighty Empires set I don't have the box anymore but the game is complete. I never painted the components so thought I'd have a go. I must be bored. I've had it 30 years
Lots of dry brushingReikland Reavers
I was at a loose end this afternoon so I chucked some contrast paints at these eight linesman based in the 80s look.
Rogue Trader
Pile of old rogue trader era minis need a bit of repair but 
All the squats were in one piece
Bloodbowl
I picked up the second edition of bloodbowl to add to my old hammer collection. I had this set back in the day and with the release of the latest version it got me in the mood to tackle the older kit.i hit these old minis today with some poppy 80s colour schemes for the Bright Crusaders
Praznagar prince of agony
The ultimate villain of the shattered amulet adventure
Doesn't match his tinder picture in real life
I rather like that the ultimate skaven is this old mini who is classed as a fearsome monster in the rules. If this game came out today he’d be a huge verminlord kit.
RETURN TO THE WARLORDS LAIR
Our heroes owed 60 gold from living expenses in between expeditions into the dungeon so head back to the warlords lair in debt. 
They are joined by a new hero named Klaus who replaces the dead Heinrich.
Returning to where they started the group find the Skaven they left behind still waiting for them. Klaus is shot in the back by the elf after a fumble but the adventurers clear the room and find enough treasure to pay their debts.
The group explore a maze of normal rooms seemingly abandoned 
Untill they come across a horde of skaven who they tackle cowardly one at a time from the door and a well placed fireball spell.
Klaus is later ambushed by two of the luckiest Skaven who manage to knock him out. His comrades give up a potion to save him and run from the dungeon to spend some gold heal up and return.
After a sneaky trap and another ambush the heroes are butchered apart from Klaus the new boy who has lost all his friends. Carrying as much gold as he can he escapes to fight another day.GREY SEER
Classic horned rat mini with his brass orbFirst expedition into the Warlords lair
After meeting in a tavern (of course) our four heroes head on down the stairs into the Skaven warlords lair in search of the first piece of a magic amulet.
After exploring the first room they find another way out of the dungeon under guard. These Skaven are dispatched.
Heading in the opposite direction the dwarf has an accident when he steps on a mantrap and losers a foot making him more stunty. The elf is then hit by a dart trap and close to death is healed by the wizard.
Searching for stairs down to the next level our heroes are ambushed in a corridor from both sides. The wizard throws a ball of flame clearing the rear whle the elf and warrior chop up the ones in front.
Around the corner a lair is discovered full of nasty ratmen and our heroes are so weak they decide to head for the exit while the warrior holds them all off. He has to keep the skaven away while the dwarf (missing a leg) struggles to keep up.
Once his companions are away the warrior makes a break for it but is cut down by his foes. His companions escape but have to find a replacement before returning to the dungeon. I forgot how harsh this game can be to the heroes. Warpweaver
Clan Skrye Warpweaver is a title you dont see anymore. I guess warlock engineers have taken this position. The mini for the old warpweaver spellcaster was being used in my plague monk force.RAT NINJA
Another oldy. Clan Eshin Gutter Runner ready to jump out on my heroes and stick a knife in the back.
Classic Deathmaster
I need an assassin for my game so I thought I’d use this classic Deathmaster model. I didn’t paint this mini. I purchased it back in the early 90’s and a friend of mine painted it. I never painted anything as a teenager but my friend was always good at it. He went into our local GW store in the 90’s and showed them his work and before he knew it got a job on the Eavy metal team. I have two Skaven painted by him a few years before he got that job so I’d never touch them now. Of course my photography doesn’t give it justice.
