Collecting Oldhammer Skaven for Advanced Heroquest | Classic Citadel Miniatures Ratmen Showcase

[@Noisymute1979]

The early Skaven models are some of the very best. Can’t wait to see some of them painted.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

They really are top tier.

[@toddcarlson5324]

Those miniatures bring back a lot memories!! Congrats on acquiring them!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks. I am very happy to add them to my rat swarm.

[@JuggleDrum]

Definitely want to see these again with paint

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I am going to try to get some more classic stuff painted on the channel soon.

[@SoldSanke]

These are awesome, congrats for the good finds. I recently had an interesting project with Ashish the Black: got him in an ebay lot, but the legs were broken off at the ankles. I used the net as a pinning anchor point to the base, and an unlucky clanrat donated his plastic feet which I then glued and putty-ed for my Gutter Runner. An involved rescue operation, but worthwhile for an old Goodwin model. Definitely looking forward to seeing more rats on this channel💪

[@SoldSanke]

Oh and 2000 Clanrats are superior to 2009 ones, fite me

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Sounds like a nice repair job. That miniature's ankles are notoriously weak.

[@penstroke2536]

Nice video. I love seeing these old miniatures, really nostalgic.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks. Yes, I love getting a chance to work with the older stuff.

[@phillipdennick8509]

Such fond memories of the older scaven miniatures

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

They are brilliant. Some of my favourite miniatures ever.

[@jmc7034]

Great to see these old mini’s. Had some of them in the past

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

They are the best.

[@danielball127]

Thank you for this video. I’m loving the Oldhammer Skaven content.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks. I do love it when I get to add something new to my collection.

[@TheGreasyGoblin916]

That's a crazy project you've taken on there! Admirable but crazy. I've just recently dug out my Advanced Heroquest again and am really enjoying it. It was the game that got me hooked on Skaven. I have all of those minis and quite a few more from that era - most of them with truly appalling paint jobs 🙂

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Advanced HeroQuest is one of the greatest games ever made, so I thought "why not take a stab at getting examples of all the lovely miniatures?" I may never get them all but I am happy with my collection so far.

[@EriktheRed2023]

There has been a lot of speculation about whether there was some sort of cloning accident. Regardless, it always brings a warm feeling to see those good ole molds.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Got to love the Oldhammer stuff.

[@stevenkennedy4130]

Super cool! Thanks for the share!!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks for watching.

[@Alatoic01]

I did something similar with a Space Hulk 1edition (and expansions), I purchase old metal terminators to replace the plastic figures, librarians and grey Knights, take a lot of time, specially because I was looking for Space Wolves figures were was possible. but was worth it.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Nice. I also have an Advanced Space Crusade project on the go where I am trying to get one of each type of unit from the extended roster. I am not replacing any of the original plastics though, as I love those too, and I am actually using original plastic Space Hulk terminators for my terminator contingent there.

[@SledGod84]

These Old Skool minis really are great. Pretty sure I have an old 'White Dwarf' dwarf mini somewhere. Would love to see these painted

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I love the classic miniatures. Hopefully I will have some more Oldhammer painting on the channel soon.

[@HoraceAndTheSpider]

I have a similar goal although realistically I am only picking out some favourites - very admirable as I have some of mine from the 90s too!! I think I’m most pleased at having the Chaos Sorcerer myself

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I have the chaos sorcerer with the scythe and also the Nurgle sorcerer. They are incredible pieces.

[@johnmiddleton4291]

Always nice to see some old skaven minis..

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Gradually getting them all! Haven't seen you around for a while, hope you are doing well.

[@johnmiddleton4291]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I'm just spending less time on youtube generally. It's an awful time sink if you let it be. Also starting up graduate classes on Tuesday again. Not sure why.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Best of luck with that.

[@billdavidson3519]

the old skaven were my first old world army. I still prefer the old sculpts. Sincerely

[@JuggleDrum]

Mine too, but so many are plastic. I wish I had spent a little more when I started and opted for metal sculpts.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Old sculpts are the best.

[@FizzyMcPhysics]

I have a few of those sitting in a box somewhere!

[@mindcogs]

I love all Jes Goodwin sculpts!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Always excellent work.

[@dalelewis625]

Aw man, I remember you having that model. I think I had a couple as well!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

One day I hope you will find your horned rat! That think use to wreck my day without fail.

[@phildevey6302]

I like seeing how your collection of older models is coming on, and it seems to be going very nicely. After a conversation with you about the C47 Skaven I also set myself a long term, and maybe impossible target - to collect at least one of each C47 models except for the standard bearers and musicians (because they are not used in Warhammer Quest 1995). I think there are 46 that I need, and I have 24 so far, not bad but a long way to go. They will be used as characters, leaders, and champions in WHQ 1995, to add a bit of interest to the various Skaven missions (there are quite a few). It is good to have a long term project, even if it may never be complete, so please show us some more when you get some new additions.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

That's a decent chunk of the collection! Well done. Let's hope the ones you have are the ones I've got, and we never have to quickdraw each other on an eBay listing!

[@phildevey6302]

I definitely hope we don't bid against each other, and push the price up, but it may well happen. Do you know how many of the Advanced Heroquest Skaven you have now, and how many you still need? I particularly liked the poisoned wind globadier with the spear, even though it isn't a C47 one. Really nice, that one.

[@martinfiedler4317]

Never liked the Skaven, but have to admit that these are excellent works of art.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I love them.

[@8r0k3n1]

Wow I have all those skaven shown boxed up and hiding somewhere. I have been taking a break from Warhammer for the last 12ys but seeing the new skaventide I think I might just dust off the old minis and rejoin the battle.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Well worth dusting off these awesome classic minis.

[@ellesse3862]

Great finds and excellent additions to your collection. Jes Goodwin Skaven are hands down the best, pretty sure Einstein stated its one of the universal truths, also explains why GW designers gave up sculpting, you can't top Jes Goodwin.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Jes Goodwin's stuff really set a standard.

[@ellesse3862]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring GW could get every Skaven, Elf, Realm of Chaos Jes Goodwin miniature and rerelease them and they'd still sell, or scan each one and virtually rescale each to fit the scale creep and then rerelease them and we'd still buy them.

[@HivisoftheScale]

My friend, I think you may have a Rat Problem 😅

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Put my cooking has improved considerably.

[@HivisoftheScale]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Call me crazy, but I don't think I want to eat anything cooked up by a Skaven! 😅

[@julianwarren7770]

I presume the other advantage of the models having a “flat” style pose (from making single piece casting easy) is it makes them easier to rank up for warhammer battles?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Absolutely. For the recent return to the Old World Games Workshop scaled up the base sizes to allow for all their modern, dynamic posing.

[@blackraptor311]

If anything, you got some classic stuff for whatever purpose you want to use. At least, unlike current GW products, there is a excuse for these being pricy due to them being out of production.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Yeah, at this point I would much rather funnel any money for Games Workshop stuff into classic pieces.

[@LaMOi1]

Given as I understand Gutter Runners are Assassins in training… Does anyone care to shed light on Adv Heroquest rules where Assasins have a special ability, that allows the GM it seems, to place them, not in the room where heroes discover them but in a corridor in a position where they still have a line of sight on the heroes?? If I’ve even got that correct..?. I don’t really understand this ability, as it’s not as far as I can see given much explanation in the rules. But I would love to know, as I’m always looking for new ideas and special abilities for these kind of enemy characters. …. I’m actually trying to decipher advanced hero quest rules as we speak, to eventually start a game!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Assassins give the dungeon master +2 on surprise rolls. If they win the surprise roll, the assassin can be played anywhere in the dungeon as long as it's within line of sight of the heroes.

[@LaMOi1]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Oh ok - so I was kinda in the right ball park ! Thanks 👍
