I started going through stuff in the basement, trying to purge odds and ends that will just never get used, when I happened on the box with my old GW Dwarves. This army is a left over from about 30 years ago. A large number were painted circa 1990-1995, and then a few more might have been added over the next ten years as they got to the table a couple of times facing my daughters Orcs.
Otherwise, this 150 plus figure army has seen no use, and hasn't been out of the box since probably 2006.
I opened the box, looked at a few of them, and realized just how badly they were painted, which was kind of depressing. I felt the tug, and briefly thought about completely repainting them, but the nostalgia wont let me, so I decided to finish the unpainted stuff and update some of the others, mostly just adding a little contrast to or details to various figs.
Generally the figs are in decent shape, though one of them lost the flame to his candle, which I'll fix later. And, yeah, I've never really been a fan of slotta bases, so they are mounted on .06 inch styrene sheet.
I honestly am not sure of what I'm going to do with them, I mean game obviously, but I have no idea what rules I'll use. Though right now there is an orc and goblin army lurking somewhere in the basement.
Additionally, there is some portion of a Tom Meier elven army that's been waiting for paint for a couple of decades (or more) as well. And I guess my old Celts could join the battlefield if need be.
In any event, thats what I'm paining this week, while working on some the Star Trek campaign rules off and on.
