the safe hΘle

this past week i received a large haul of gaming stuff. miniatures i never seen before, several pieces i remember from when i started gaming with second edition Warhammer 40k, and stuff i only seen pics of on the internet or old hobby magazines. and in the stockpile of stuff i got i was able to get a sealed Great Unclean One daemon miniature. this bad boy came out in 1996 and i remember getting mine in '97 and taking it to my first Games Day '98 for the Golden Daemon competition. this is the first miniature i painted in about 2 weeks, taking a break from painting my German Nazis for my pulp gaming collection. i pretty went about doing it the same way i did my Death Guard space marines last year. still in the box. so many memories.. totally forgot some of the larger miniatures came in a foam insert. the smell of aged metal was funny, haven't worked with miniatures that were this size and multiple pieces like this. everything now these days is plastic. glued all the pieces an
