Nicodemus:
After going through my collection a few times recently and re-discovering some miniatures I forgot I had I started thinking about why I have some of them in the first place.
I started out justifying my collection because we played so much Warhammer Quest and the Monster Tables had most of the Warhammer Fantasy range represented from the early-to-mid 90s (except Empire and Bretonnians). Anyway, I have a lot more miniatures than is accounted for in those tables and in most cases I have the models because I just liked them and wanted to have them - so purely an aesthetic thing. In some cases it’s a pose, in other cases it’s something else I can’t quite put my finger on.
This got me thinking about what I have in my collection that stands out and what I’m still trying to acquire and thought it would make a good thread here.
Now none of these are mine, and I’m not trying to find Golden Daemon-worthy paint jobs, these are just the models I like, for what ever reason. Without further ado, here’s a cross section of some of my favourite miniatures:
Chaos Dwarfs
MM90/1 (Citadel)
Chaos Dwarf Renegades - Master of Madness (Citadel)
Warhammer 4th Edition Chaos Dwarf Blunderbuss model #7 (GW)
Hobgoblins
Manic Hobgoblin Hero from the 1985 Monsters Starter set (Citadel)
DL2 Hobgoblin Shaman (Citadel, Aly Morrison)
![]()
Beasts
Doombull (updated version, GW, now Finecast instead of metal, sadly)

So c’mon, let’s see which ones you all are drawn to! The painting doesn’t have to be good.
