I Gambled £175 On Citadel Miniatures | Warhammer Haul

[@Lemonhead209]

That bag is my Early gaming days rattling out on the Table, loved it, thank you

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Cool stuff and sadly i had so many of those figures ( Skaven / Ogres) back in the 80s 😢

[@DrBlaxill]

Close to £400 there I'd say- at ebay prices anyway. Ogres alone are £30 each, Warlock £25, chaos dwarves, skaven, orcs, Umber Hulk also valuable. Pre slottas less so, there's nowhere near the love for those, and they're often more suspectable to lead rot so quality can be iffy.

[@jordansorcery]

The Umber Hulk is missing his head, which is a shame, but I still find myself surprised at the quality and range of the rest of the haul!

[@bl3993]

What an amazing find! Old school skaven are the best skaven.

[@jordansorcery]

Agreed agreed!

[@Mark-nh2hs]

I've got that SKAVEN Warlord holding the spear above his head lol. I got quite a few of those 80s sculpts as they were still selling them or selling them off when I started WHFB in 1992 and the new minis were coming in..... Arrrrhhh I remember the excitement of entering GW in Preston and they had a big box full of reduced price Miniatures and a lot of them were the old sculpts.

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Have that figure as well 😊

[@Mark-nh2hs]

@@cyberleaderandy1 the one I'm most annoyed about losing was the Warlord holding the Jezzail musket on the ground pointing. It's bound to be in my boxes of minis somewhere lol

[@AnvilOfDoom]

Amazing - fun to hear about. Have fun with them, Jordan

[@Aurora07]

That's a nice haul! I've got a couple of those. Some I've never seen before. I had or maybe still have tye citadel combat cards with the giant ogres.

[@aaronhunt4464]

That's an amazing find! You are fortunate you took that chance. I'm looking forward to your cataloging of your loot.

[@Suilezrof]

Thanks for sharing your excitement Jordan! so happy for you

[@jordansorcery]

Thanks!

[@guineapigsith699]

Very cool to know. I've got some of those. I think I have Rothiog. My cousin gave me his collection back in the day. I'd happily watch a video of the history of all these.

[@grantboardman7880]

Jordan, mate, sounds like you lucked out! So excited for you, thanks for sharing.

[@jordansorcery]

I do feel very lucky!

[@danroberts007]

Congratulations! This was so enjoyable to watch; your giddy exuberance over your mystery haul of goodness was a vicarious thrill. I’m happy for you to have stumbled across such unexpected treasure. Enjoy it and happy holidays! 😃

[@ClydeMillerWynant]

Couldn't help but notice Kimril Giant Slayer in there who cropped up in your research on the history of Troll Slayers. I still maintain he's really a beserker from his role as 'The Enforcer' in a pre-Slayers 2nd Edition mail order army.

[@ClydeMillerWynant]

There's also a Dark Elf in your haul who appeared on the same flyer ('Five Sample Armies' that came with Ravening Hordes). He's called Hanguir Hellstorm. You're probably familiar with it, but if not it's available online and well worth looking up, the Orcs especially have amazing names and blurbs and there was a Norse army among the five for heaven's sake.

[@Jackalblade9]

That is an amazing haul, Jordan! Don't think I've ever seen a better blind bag!

[@jordansorcery]

I was very pleased!

[@fullovstars9447]

I've got a few of them. The Chaos Sorcerer, the couple of the knights + the man at arms, both ogres, the skaven, most of the orcs/hobgobs, the amazon, and a couple of those dwarves

[@malcolmmccallum7502]

The big Greek soldier is a D&D Titan

[@adfmac]

It’s an armoured giant troll by Tom Meier

[@paulsyrah]

C31 troll, one of the few I declined to get as it didn’t fit with the boys. Too posh 😅

[@jedidalek]

Nice find. I just discovered in your Space Hulk video about Chris ‘Fangorn’ Baker did both it and Redwall two of my favourite things and covers I’ve always been mad for. I would be super pumped if you ever tracked him down for an interview. Love your channel bro.

[@ironbomb6753]

This is such a great find! Well done taking the risk. Thanks for sharing, you help keep the memories alive. ❤👍

[@unclemontypython]

How lovely, what a haul. So sweet that you will be gifting select individuals to friends in need. Love it!

[@veriax]

So glad your gamble paid off :)

[@OldenDemon]

Nice haul

[@jordansorcery]

Thanks! Definitely got lucky with this one

[@tsuguminiyamoto6417]

Congratulations on your nifty haul! A heads up, Hasslefree Miniatures are making an ogre "inspired by" Hrothyogg (I bet it inspires GW's lawyers :P). Looking at this lot is a trip down memory lane as it was when I was most active painting GW minis. Currently in the garage I've got all the original skaven, most of the original chaos dwarves, sorcerors and familiars, giant ogres, Paranoia troubleshooters, the limited edition zoat and fimir, plus a lot of the AD&D minis. I think I'm going to have to dig that lot out for a good appaisal ^_^

[@MrEthicsgradient]

Yes, Hasslefree do two versions of ‘Axenarf’, I have both and they are lovely models and very much in the style of the Jes Goodwin ogres (but bigger)

[@MrEthicsgradient]

Oh. My. Word. What a haul! Firstly, you have my sympathy for the rail journey, it sounds all to familiar (looking at you CrossCountry trains)! I would say you got quite a bargain. As someone with a but if a Jes Goodwin Ogre obsession (I think I’m now only missing the rare mutant ogre and the blood bowl one), I know what they go for. Really hope you do a longer piece on them - great to be reminded of that original WD advert, and the John Blanche art that graced the inside of WFRP. I recall the large Greek/Roman figure from an old Citadel catalogue, where it was described as a ‘giant troll’ I think. I spotted at least one Nick Lund Sculpted dwarf from Grenadier UK in there as well. Look forward to more on the magic Jiffy bag!

[@jordansorcery]

That’s why I’ve always held off on picking any if them up! Very pleased to finally have a couple in the collection. And that’s ace about the giant troll, I’ve not encountered one before!

[@huwtindall7096]

Mother of god. That is some oldhammer hoard! £175 well spent. Very very funny outro too mate.

[@jordansorcery]

I’d 100% watch that show!

[@thomasnoppers]

The woman warrior is a valkyrie. Also re-used as Helena the Swift for Heroes of Dungeonqeust

[@jordansorcery]

Great spot, thanks mate!

[@NisGaarde]

"The name is Dextrous... Ambi Dextrous" Incredible collection! That old manticore! Insane. Good score! :D

[@jordansorcery]

Incredible name for the double daggers guy I think

[@MiniatureRealms]

Some absolute gems there.

[@jordansorcery]

Absolutely, so many proper treasures!

[@Mr_Waffle.]

Congrats on surviving the journey home and that it wasn't just a big bag of rocks!!

[@jordansorcery]

Cheers mate

[@dakkawaaagh13]

great haul!

[@intzbk1]

Congrats! I love finding the old minis for a nice price. This week I found 6 metal tomb king scarab swarms and the original metal Gaunt's Ghosts plus a few more Tanith models to add to my collection. I'd love to find the old Talisman figures at a decent price. I found them once on e-bay but sadly they were not in my price range, same with the Sisters of Sigmar set.

[@ClydeMillerWynant]

Had another look and while I can't make all of them out too well you also seem to have scored one of the orcs from the Ravening Hordes armies I mentioned below - Jabbering Krilak Badstink. He's a good find though for myself I would prefer Hardnose Mard the Truly Unpleasant or especially Krapper Snat the Nasty Piece of Work who was also the orc leader from McDeath under another name.

[@ellesse3862]

Entertaining bag of treasure, a couple I have in my hoard. Hrothyogg .. everyone's favourite ogre, you lucky devil. I have the warrior priest ogre, he's very wild and savage compared to the rest .. I'd love to see Jes Goodwin resculpt them larger or have these reissued, never get bored of admiring his sculpts.

[@pISSUMTREE]

Congrats on your lucky find! Love the models of this era.

[@lamaze2295]

Our local convention does a flea market sale on Saturday where people bring in their gems to sell. Ive gotten some amazing deals over the years from people just trying to get rid of stuff.

[@toi_techno]

[@stevekearns6173]

Very nice, I have a few of those and now you have your 5th member of the five sided coin.

[@jordansorcery]

There’s definitely some recruits for L’Armee Trudot in here!

[@brenthartman502]

I smiled all the way through mate. I have been lucky enough to have this kind of thing happen twice (over many years). Dont be ashamed of the excitement. I toast your happiness , Cheers mate 😃👍

[@matsgrabat2913]

The big "roman" is a old troll champion

[@ClydeMillerWynant]

Hrothyogg is indeed a wonderful figure and (sadly for me) the only one of the giant ogres that I have as the others are all great too. Perversely the ogres he captains for me are Golgfag and his boys from the earlier Regiment of Renown - also Jez Goodwin, but not as good models, I guess they turned out to be a first go at what then lead to the amazing giant ogres. Unfortunately the Golgfag ogres really are a bit on the small side these days though I guess I would still argue that an ogre is an ogre.

[@ClydeMillerWynant]

Just checked and that's slightly incorrect as the champion from Golgfag's made it through to the Giant Ogres range. I guess he was deemed to be the best of the bunch which he probably is, but he's still in my view notably inferior to the rest of that later range.

[@6Stevo]

Nice lil find! Plus it will open up doors for new nostalgia filled videos for us Gitz to enjoy. 😊

[@jordansorcery]

No doubt about it, mate!

[@jodypschaeffer]

Kind of surprised when they needed an Ogre character for later editions that they didn't go with Hrothyogg instead of the rather unfortunately named Golgfag, lol...

[@jordansorcery]

I guess Golgfag has that little bit more history even than Hrothyogg, and it’s always fun when they can keep stuff from the very start alive

[@Carcharoth0]

Are there any potential Marienberger's in the bag?

[@jordansorcery]

I think so!

[@jeffreyrunokivi132]

The big roman looking chap is a Real Partha half ogre by Tom Meier

[@JamesNewhouse]

Released as the Troll champion (FTT9) by Citadel in the fantasy tribes range.

[@narwhalcheese]

Giant troll champion in the citadel C31 range. Still available from ral partha legacy if you wanted a new one or the missing shield.

[@jordansorcery]

Fantastic, thank you all for this info!

[@thehappyogryn]

OOOHH...! Look at those old heavy beauties, that was a a very cool win, now you just need to clean them up and give them a nice paint job to go along their age...i saw some rats there to...🤓

[@redgreen09]

well you had great tom at con and yes we will tune in to what do with your swag as do it so a happy hilday and seee you as post

[@magfitch]

I’ll ad my note to the pile of identifications on the big armored guy. First as Citadel Fantasy Tribes Trolls “Giant Half-Troll Champion”. Later as C31 in citadel Giant Monsters “Giant Troll Champion” (guessing due to size comparison with the other figs in the set) then back to half-troll for ral releases

[@TheJankmaster]

What he said. :)

[@jordansorcery]

That’s great, thank you for this. I didn’t expect it to be a Citadel mini!

[@reubenturner9919]

It's a nice haul but not as nice as the time I paid £40 for of every Rogue Trader Eldar and one of every SPACE SLAAN. And they were all legit models.

[@jordansorcery]

Oh wow, that must have been an awesome day!

[@biffo1960]

What is the dog thing with a scorpion tail called got one of them somewhere

[@jordansorcery]

That’s a classic manticore, though they typically have wings

[@normanwood1994]

Nice haul, but i hope this blank bag idea doesnt catch on at wargame bring and buys as its a scammers joy.

[@jordansorcery]

Very fair point; I was worried about that in this case so if they became more prevalent I’d be just as concerned. It’s as a sad truth. Though I did really enjoy this ‘one-off’ experience!
