That looks an amazing book of fantastic artwork. Might look to treat myself this month!🤔😁

Those 50th anniversary figures look good. I’ve still got some of the old Ral Partha and Grenadier ones kicking about from back in the day. I don’t play anymore but if the new figures are that cool, I might need to buy them for old times sake!

Do it, Daniel! There's always room in a house for more fantasy artwork (at least that's what I keep telling myself as my office continually seems to shrink!)

I don't know if I'll succumb to picking up those figures yet - I think they're really cool, but see comment about shrinking office above.

Those classic Ral Partha & Grenadier miniatures were the best back in the day. Their boxes/blister-pack artwork and the ads in Dragon Magazine were so fun too!

I know what you mean about lack of space. My library/cupboard is full and the bookcase next to me is bursting at the seams! Might need to take over the garage 😁

Was flicking through my old copies of Dragon and White Dwarf this morning. So many more cool figures in there I need to find on eBay! Also fascinating looking at the adverts for all the games stores than no longer exist but that I used to spend most weekends in!
