well, I practiced painting a cheap plastic figure that came in the siege sets Xander made his earth shakers from. but it gave me something as a starting point.
my first WH fig was an elf from a glade guard. painted it for Xander for Valentine’s day. haha. I’m so romantic.
lol, not quite. I think I swiped them secretly to practice on first. I don’t think he knew I took them. then once I was confident, I went and paid 18,456x more (approximately) for real WH stuff.
and no, I doubt I’m buying him the new dark elf box set… I’m romantic, but I’m not THAT romantic
The first ones I had were 5th ed goblins (a gift), the ones that came with 5th ed warhammer box. I’ve still got them actually, I was looking at them a few weeks ago.
The first ones I bought were the 5th ed High Elves, followed shortly by a box of Big Hat Chaos Dwarfs!!!:hat The only hat models I have ever bought. I also got some skellie horsemen if I remember right. Still got all these models.
16 plastic chaos dwarfs, a cd sorcerer, a lord and a hero… picked them up in a shop clearing out all of their cd stuff, and in the following months, i got them all :cheers
… that being said, my first fig was supposed to be astragoth which i ordered at ebay 2 weeks before that, unfortunately, it never arrived… this was btw the first time i bought something online :mad
My first wh minis would be a box of plastic one-poser skaven clanrats. And after them i got the… DOOMWHEEL!! Man, I wish i still had that model, it was awesome.
When this topic started, I was frustrated at not being able to figure out what range my firsts were from. Well, I finally found them:
I have to say that mine are painted a bit better than the ones in that photo, though they sat on a shelf for at least a couple of years before I figured out how to paint them at all. Anyway, it was satisfying to track them down.
If I had a boy friend into war hammer Sorjourn, i think he buy me the new dark elf box set !!!
hint hint!!!
Kera
If this is the description, then I think I sent you something worthy of a "Boyfriend", Kera. It was in my store and I really thought you could use it as no one was buying it. It's not the new Dark Elves, but something that really goes well with your army. Taylor fit, in fact.
Sadly, I'm already married with a kid and I'm an overweight old fart at 35 years of age. So boyfriend material, I ain't.
However, I figured you'd like it and it was a nice "repayment" for the shields and 2 figs you sent me a few months ago.
So please, take the gift in firendship and find someone young and hot that will make you happy and that likes the games.
