Citadel C06 Dwarfs Nadir and ‘Bandit’. Both painted with original Citadel Colour paints. #oldhammer #Warhammer #citadelminiatures #tabletopgaming #fantasy

CO2 Wizard (1984). One of several variants. Checking out carpet samples judging by the depth of that scroll! #oldhammer #warhammer

Harlequin/Black Tree figures? Can’t wait to see these

1984 Citadel Man At Arms (who happens to also be not so coincidentally a 15th century knight). Pretty sure this was Citadels best selling range for a couple of years. Still available from Wargames Foundry. #oldhammer #citadelminiatures #warhammer

I still have a lot of these! Was also around the same age when I discovered this particular madness

Been thinking about this period a lot recently. I think the impact of this runs across all areas of production at that time, including miniatures and the evolution of the ‘Eavy Metal style.

One of the very best early ranges!

Although in a confused way these went the other way :)

Stunning work on a classic! I’ve a good few ‘real’ Brets from the period too. The whole range was beautiful IMO

Mechanicae @mechanicae.bsky.social · 25/08/2025
Thanks! Exactly. I think he was originally sculpted for that range, as were a lot of the others (some of the same dollies). Likely ended up at Foundry during Bryan’s exit. Those late 3rd Brets clearly lacked some variety (not to mention the super quick paint jobs the studio did for White Dwarf).

Reclaiming Foundry 100 Years War for the Lady (which is where a lot of these figures started in the first place). Beautiful figures.

Chaos warrior, halfling and wizard. I ended up with those figures and I think all through this.

Heh, I managed three of these I think.

Good grief. The later down and out with the beard and no hat perhaps?

Mechanicae @mechanicae.bsky.social · 24/05/2025
Amazing. Pretty sure the writer didn’t know where that comment was going to go and just rode it out to the bitter end. Got to admire that devil may care attitude in some ways … The video itself was class!

Yes! 100% Highly recommend The Stuff of Legends website and Collecting Citadel Miniatures Wiki if you’d like more info on these. Both goldmines of info

Those look like older C-series I think. These are them www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/...

Sculpted by Alan & Michael Perry. From Mounted knights to Medieval Peasants, start wargaming the Hundred Years War now!

Founded by Brian Ansell of Citadel Miniatures fame, and now run by his family. A lot of those ranges switched to Foundry when he sold up. Highly recommend the Hundred Years War Perry range - some rare ex Bretonnian sculpts in there (ghosts of their slotta tabs on some of the castings …)

Citadel Giant Treeman later known as Kinty for the Tragedy of McDeath. Bought in Southampton in 1983 and finally painted! Love this guy. #oldhammer #warhammer #theoldworld #miniatures #dungeonsanddragons

Oldest Oldhammer! Citadel CO1 Fighter from 1983. So much creativity (and weirdness) in this range. Strong Dark Souls vibes with this guy. #oldhammer #warhammer #citadel

Always best when you used one short leg and one long one.

Yeah, those are brilliant. Especially love the character of the doctor but figures carrying torches give me brain-ache. Tie myself in knots whether to do osl or not … then other figures in the group should be lit … meltdown

Got the Kindle version of Silver Bayonet and planning to upgrade to hard copy and dig into that for a while. The new Spanish/Iberian factions were my tipping point.
