I think kitbashing some of them to bring them up-to-date is a good idea, but I'd keep a few back, just for sentimental reasons. Always nice to be reminded of where you started out, or some of your favourite models/paint jobs from when you started. I was out of the hobby for several years and don't have any of my models from the early days, which is a real shame. I actually just bought a few classic models to paint, just for nostalgia. They'll never see a game, but that doesn't matter, as they're just for fun.
I’m glad you said scouts. Those land speeders and the scouts kitbashed together would be great a fast way for you scout squad to get where they need to go
I only have 5 old tactical marines, but they were the first minis I ever bought. They're only half painted blue and yellow but they're near and dear. After that, I have about 1000 points of Necrons from 2004-2006, similarly badly painted and broken in many places, but some of it has been rescued and repainted and has seen games in 9th edition.
I have over 5200 points of Dark Angels so far. I'm halfway through building my World Eaters army along with a combat patrol of imperial guard and just now started on building my Tau army starting with Farsight.
I love your collection. Currently working on an Ultramarines Gladius strike force with the layout from 7th edition. Had to change it up because they dropped some half of the list with 10th.
I saw another video you did showing off all the black templars , and Im not even upset.. like I love the asthetic of the faction so much and your models are so freakin cool. I am only 3 yrs into the hobby and wargaming stuff so I don't get to play much. I just love to collect and paint mostly, but at some point I hope to have a super sized collection like that looking just so dope to show off !
The perfect way to recycle all non primary space screens. As what's I have done is turned them into statues on the characters of my army and then I've turned a lot of the older space. Brains up on pillars as sculptures in a city looks really good that way. And I still use my old guys. But they're no longer being played in battle. They just have to come statues and I do pain them like they are carved. Or a stone carve statue
I bought my old tactical marines into my imperial fists 30k legion. Mk7 did exist during that period during the siege of terra if I can recall correctly (mainly used as test pieces for new yellow formulas but incorporated into the legion anyway for games if I need to bolster points). The dreadnought collection would be cool if they were repainted and displayed as I feel they are iconic to the space marines. Otherwise I do incorporate some first born parts onto my primaris marines (mainly heads and helmets)
The dominion box is a sleeper deal! It has all the models (minus chariot) that are going to be in the new spearhead box AND you get a decent starting army for the orruk warclans... great giveaway EoB!
I really enjoyed the promotion ceremony for the deredeo dread. You know what else has a huge rod……that’s right our patreon!!!! Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!
i got into 40k after primaris became the norm, but i love first born models, i made primaris sanguinary guard, truescale deathcompany and im currently working on a squad of vanguard veterans with jump packs the space marine heroes blind bags have much better proportioned sculpts, that and mk6 & 3 from the horus heresy and 3d printed legs keeps the firstborn looking not so silly
just a question. i've been collecting for a year and i see you have some models from 10 years ago that still have all their paint. how do you do that? some of my skaven already have chipped paint after barely 6 months!
... Eons i forgot my artist's uh 'special dust' i do not see how those two dreadnoughts are the same (also i'm tryng to build a Salamanders army as my first army and currently i can say that so far i got only infernus marines 💀)
I remember when a lot of the old kits at the beginning of 10th edition were being removed from the index, there were some people joking about turning their old space marines into chaos space marines. So maybe you could change your old marines into a chaos warband that is vengeful for not being good enough anymore
Love the video, but there is a one thing that has been bugging me for a while. The little kroot doggo on the shelf in front of the Necrons and Oks codecies. Could you spare a couple of hours to paint it up, pleeease?
Hardly worth saying but my original Space Marines (Rogue Trader Space Wolves, mostly RTB01) are just chilling in a box. A testament to GW's evolving lore and design, they started life as Crimson Fists and got wholesale repainted when they got decimated in the lore. Then GW launched their Viking theme for Space Wolves and mark 7 armour and my collection just got boxed, never again to see the battlefield. I only started marines again last year and my primaris are Crimson Fists, except my mixed first founding kill team.
This whole video, as well as your comment, are a massive nostalgia trip for me! I was introduced to 40k by a friend when I was around 9/10 years old, I think it was 1992, so towards the end of 2nd edition, I believe. He had a Black Templar army! Some other friends played Old World Warhammer and had Bretonnians and Skeleton hordes. While learning about the differences I almost settled on a Dwarven army but, upon visiting a Games Workshop store, I found the Space Wolves! I'd originally been drawn to the Crimson Fists, as they were the original poster boys for 40k, but the unique models and names of Russ' Wolves had me sold! I eventually collected a 2-3k point army of Wolves. They now sit proudly in their own display cabinet, simply for the nostalgia! After a 25 year hiatus, I rekindled my love of model collecting/building/painting and now I have a large Primaris force of Dorn's finest...the Crimson Fists, of course!
with the old aircraft you can crash that one and use it for a base or you can do some kit bashing to try to make it look cool but all I know is that a hornet from halo could easily proxy as a Stormtalon Gunship or even a orca from command and conquer
I think it’s great how attached to the army you are. My advice is not to eBay the old guys. They tell a story of your painting and hobby, and that to me is art.
This^ Also after some time has passed, the nostalgia will grow and you may see people looking for OG style space marines. Plus having the extra minis means he can spot a buddy and army, or set up diorama’s with them, etc…
I hate the primaris units and lore so I only use own and paint oldmarines, all you guys getting rid of your oldboys just fits perfectly into my old boyhood dream of having a chapter someday. Plus all of the oldmarines work well in Horus Heresy.@@Michael_MW
Don't purge! Please... On your channel.. a cool thing I'd love to see you explore in the future ... Old-Hammer. Have you thought about curating a 4th/5th (or whatever) era army? Between your Templars and your Orks... you could have a fun side-board 4th/5th "classic" army. I like the new stuff and play, but also see 4th/5th era as perfectly viable with friends, etc.
You'll miss them if you get rid of them and regret it I reckon. Just put them in a box and make a collection of heartwarming minis that you can look at from time to time but don't consider in your head to be 'your Templar Army' if you get what I mean.
I am fairly new to the hobby so I don’t have any old models, but if I were you I’d use my old models as extras on vehicles or dead guys on the bases of your other army. That’s just some food for thought, hope this helps and I love your vids keep up the good work ❤
Love to see how your templars have come along. One suggestion I have for old marines is to kitbash them into a different time period when those armour marks were mostly around such as the badab war or very late Heresy, removing all decorative bits
Thanks for the amazing videos Jay! Your army and its customization is a huge inspiration for my Ultramarines army (my goal is to colect the whole chapter some day but I'll have to become a brain surgeon or something to do that lol) keep up the hard work!
Noooo never get rid of the old space marines, they are timeless, I love them so much I’m starting a brand new first born army, the new models just don’t hit or look as unique
Oh. I thought you meant "old" terminators. I have many, many metal ones. I just put them and their 25mm base on top of the 40mm and base. It helps make more uniform.
BROOOO! Epic collection!! Truly impressive work you have put into it. As an old Black Templar main I just want to say that our High Marshal would be proud of you, brother. I stopped playing 40k a while back and these days I mostly do AoS and am looking forward to Old World. I wonder how you feel about the "upscaling" of 40k? Personally, I am salty about the introduction of "bigger/cooler looking versions" of all of the popular minis. Now all of us old players who spent an eternity painting our beloved armies have to watch our armies get phased out??? Well, not *entirely* phased out, but who would want to run those runty little space marines when the new ones make them look like a joke? "They are fine, not good- but fine." Yup. Another issue I have with GW's choice here. They made the old minis "meh" and the new ones good to try to force their consumers to re-buy what is essentially the same army. (Why not make new sculpts, but the same size? Why must they always power creep?) Feels *super* scummy to me, but I understand that not everyone sees it that way. Some people defend the upscale. I say to them: Okay maybe it did need to happen, but if in a few years GW starts releasing "bigger/cooler versions" yet again then I believe my take will be vindicated. It feels sad watching you look through all of your beautiful work and consider which minis you can still run without it looking silly. As a loyal fan and consumer, you shouldn't be made to do that. Thanks for another great video Jay. I am a long time fan. :)
Paint the vanilla marines as some sort of special veteran squad for their years of service and keep them. You will have fun repainting the old models it will bring back a lot of memories.
Personally I probably like a lot of your old stuff more. Primarily because I despise the new hover vehicles. My 5th wolves are effectively complete, I refuse to add anything primaris to them, so everything I have somehow acquired I put into a new sharks army.
I have a lot of Horus Heresy marines that I run in 40k (casually) I use cork on the bases (thanks for that) to give them some extra height, but mixed squads do still look weird. My short king chaplain is trying so hard.
You could build a shelf for the old Marines and remember where it all started for you I know I have some 2013 dark angels and I'm doing the same for them
I'm still collecting my space marine army 35+ years on from getting my first ones - RTB01 (have two boxes of those). I recently stripped a lot of them from all the random colours I'd painted over the years, so that I could repaint them all as one ENTIRE chapter. I have about 30,000 points! Wouldn't get rid of any of them, even the old janky ones that look silly, so some of them will live in the retirement home at the back of the fleet.
Could use the scraps of what’s left after updating the old Templar as downed brothers who have died at the feet of the new Templar’s like just dead guys on the bases basically
I am sad you have the vindicator in the "does not exist" pile Its very good unit *and* I would love to see what you do with the big canvas of the siege shield
What I want do with my old Minis is to turn them into terrain pieces like statues and reliefs to mimic some of the most glorius moments I had with them :)
Great collection, awesome enthusiasm and wonderful painting. Personally I've never seen the appeal in displaying a large space marine collection. The silhouette gets very monotone. Tons of medium-sized minis with tanks (boxes) and Dreadnaughts (cool).
I definitely get where you are coming from Jay. I started my Ultramarines 15 years ago. As time passed and I gained more skill the army evolved. I now have beautiful box art level primaris marines next to my thicc paint, primerless first born marines. I started stripping and converting my old marines (still first born) into veterans. My first ever warhammer models, a 5 man combat squad are now Sternguard Vets. However in my quest to unify my army I feel like I lost something. If I could do it differently I would have kept some of my old units as there were. Ultimate they were a point in history, a reminder of how far I have come. So maybe keep some of your old units as is. Perhaps in the future you will be glad you did.
Jay please use your old dreadnoughts for a diorama and make a video out of it. That way you have recycled it into a display piece, scale wouldn't matter as you wouldn't be running them. (Would be fun to see dreadnoughts taking on a bunch of Roger rogers)
Every time I see your Black Templar collection I am inspired to continue painting my large, unpainted Hive Fleet Kraken Tyranids Army. Thank you for your painting videos 🙏
I would take many of those old space marines and make a diorama out of them. A scene, a battle, an escape? Just something that Your Black Templars went through.
4:12- See, I never liked the OG Terminator miniatures!?! I don’t know……. There was just a insane amount of “miss-sizing” (at least in my opinion it looked like their arms and legs belonged to someone twice their size! And the helmet looked like it “had to be” the head!?! Because if there was supposed to be a head in there, then it is the head of a baby! And not just a baby…… a baby that was below average in size)!?! Which honestly, I felt kinda the same for all old school SM!?! Which is probably why I gravitated straight towards Orks! They were kinda bad also…. But still far better than SM were!!! Anyways, but these new Terminators are pretty awesome!!! I only have 1 units (so far) from my half of that new L box set for 10th! But with how great they look all painted up (and with how my SM army isn’t just 1 Chapter or 1 Legion) I think I’m going to get more!?! How many more? I have no clue!?! But no more than 3 more……. But we’ll see!
damn As someone who is about to buy their first box. I'm just thinking how long must my minis be hella bottom tier! 😭😭 before i can paint something good. I mean from 2015 to 2024?? 9 yeearss hoOoOolyyy I'll have fun I'm sure, but just knowing that they're gonna suck kinda sucks 😂 No matter how many videos I watch i know skill comes with experience and actually doing the thing, finding what works for you nstuff Godamnit
5:06- Where did you get all those candles? Did you print them or buy them as is?!? And if you did print them, on what (the reason why this last question is important is because depending on how good your printer is, that will determine how good mine will look if I also print them!?! Mine as of now is only a 4k! But I think maybe in 2 years if I’m still around, I’ll upgrade!?! But yeah, if you had a worse printer and they look that good…….. then they will look great off of mine! But if you have that new 12k or whatever it is, then mine isn’t going to look as good and I’ll keep looking for other options)?!? Sorry for how long this ended up being…… but I felt like the last question needed to be explained because of those trolls that like to pretend that no one makes any sense!?!
I regret not keeping up with Warhammer, between my sophomore and junior year of high school my brother and I got into Warhammer Fantasy, and I built some Vampire Counts models, that Christmas we got some more models and we even pooled our money together and got a 40K sixth edition starter set but we never even built it. Shortly after we got it I got my first job, then I had a girlfriend and between, work, school, and friends I was just too busy to get back into it but it always sat at the back of my mind. Then recently I took almost a whole month off work and because I now live near a designated Warhammer store I decided to jump into it. Next time I’m home I’ll probably grab my old warhammer stuff from my brother.

i like the old scouts

Great idea

Love your enthusiasm man! I just kit bashed my first couple models yesterday. It was so much fun! Very proud of the customizations.
Powerfists on those old terminators look awesome
I’m glad you said scouts. Those land speeders and the scouts kitbashed together would be great a fast way for you scout squad to get where they need to go

I’ve became a fan of yours recently. And I’ll be going to adepticon for the first time this year. Hoping I’ll bump into you.
I have over 5200 points of Dark Angels so far. I'm halfway through building my World Eaters army along with a combat patrol of imperial guard and just now started on building my Tau army starting with Farsight.
I love your collection. Currently working on an Ultramarines Gladius strike force with the layout from 7th edition. Had to change it up because they dropped some half of the list with 10th.
4:46 Woahh like the custom livery. Like those old American bombers
Every couple months we get to see a collection tour and it's double the size as last time
I saw another video you did showing off all the black templars , and Im not even upset.. like I love the asthetic of the faction so much and your models are so freakin cool. I am only 3 yrs into the hobby and wargaming stuff so I don't get to play much. I just love to collect and paint mostly, but at some point I hope to have a super sized collection like that looking just so dope to show off !

The dominion box is a sleeper deal! It has all the models (minus chariot) that are going to be in the new spearhead box AND you get a decent starting army for the orruk warclans... great giveaway EoB!
Maybe using some old models as statues in a diorama would be fitting as a "Hall of Heros"
At this point you must have enough old stuff to create a mini (heh) museum for yourself somewhere in your house 😂
I really enjoyed the promotion ceremony for the deredeo dread. You know what else has a huge rod……that’s right our patreon!!!! Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!
Yay! The Templar March!
Can you fix the ancient models without stripping them? Some additional highlights add some skulls on nails, profit?
Stargrave and OPR for the elder models. May They Live FOREVER!
id say create a diorama of your older stuff that you likely will never use again to immortalise them in one epic display piece !
Convert those Rhino's to the Death Guard?? HERESY!
i got into 40k after primaris became the norm, but i love first born models, i made primaris sanguinary guard, truescale deathcompany and im currently working on a squad of vanguard veterans with jump packs
the space marine heroes blind bags have much better proportioned sculpts, that and mk6 & 3 from the horus heresy and 3d printed legs keeps the firstborn looking not so silly
Just made my day brother.
Could you do a black Templar painting tutorial without airbrush ?
I have made my old marines into the first honor guard. They shall protect the chapters Ideals and inspire the new troops.
Do an old school diorama a la old white dwarf
Hey, jay. How did you do the yellow on the plasma weapons?
Hi Jay, What tabletop simulator software are you using? Thanks
I have a single squad of tactical marines and I started in tenth. I just like the bird bois.
just a question. i've been collecting for a year and i see you have some models from 10 years ago that still have all their paint. how do you do that? some of my skaven already have chipped paint after barely 6 months!
I also love Centurions
So many easy build space marines in boxes, some only base coated green. Only play time they get these days is Apocalyse
... Eons i forgot my artist's uh 'special dust' i do not see how those two dreadnoughts are the same (also i'm tryng to build a Salamanders army as my first army and currently i can say that so far i got only infernus marines 💀)
use your old models in battles and as they die on the table top, destroy them in some symbolic fashion, so they do not die without glory.
The old models rule!
at some point you will have more Black Templars than Black Templars in Lore exist :D
Do a charity raffle for the old stuff?
Have you ever had a game with your full Black templar army?
I remember when a lot of the old kits at the beginning of 10th edition were being removed from the index, there were some people joking about turning their old space marines into chaos space marines. So maybe you could change your old marines into a chaos warband that is vengeful for not being good enough anymore
Jay you have to run the old dreadnaughts! You cannot let the ancients be forgotten! Their whole sthick is that they look old and out-of-place.
Love the video, but there is a one thing that has been bugging me for a while. The little kroot doggo on the shelf in front of the Necrons and Oks codecies. Could you spare a couple of hours to paint it up, pleeease?

Should hold on to em for sentimental value

Tier three, I still love you even if Jay doesn't.
I like how Jay also knows that Rhinos are basically free
Is that a poor hammer reference?!
no one buys Rhinos
even GW gives them away (not for free ... obviously, but they love shoving them into boxes)
You'll miss them if you get rid of them and regret it I reckon. Just put them in a box and make a collection of heartwarming minis that you can look at from time to time but don't consider in your head to be 'your Templar Army' if you get what I mean.
I am fairly new to the hobby so I don’t have any old models, but if I were you I’d use my old models as extras on vehicles or dead guys on the bases of your other army. That’s just some food for thought, hope this helps and I love your vids keep up the good work ❤

Don´t kill your history. Do not crack and convert them - they deserve their place in your collection for what they are. Your old trusty guys.
Thanks for the amazing videos Jay! Your army and its customization is a huge inspiration for my Ultramarines army (my goal is to colect the whole chapter some day but I'll have to become a brain surgeon or something to do that lol) keep up the hard work!
I "pain"tad my first, so fun but so many mistakes #pain
Oh fuck, I didn't realize that the Redemptor was so huge compared to the venerable.
I think you should always keep every model you painted up, it's a part of your history and shows growth.
One think in the third tier that is 100% usable is the Vindicator. Those tanks put in crazy work
Noooo never get rid of the old space marines, they are timeless, I love them so much I’m starting a brand new first born army, the new models just don’t hit or look as unique
Oh. I thought you meant "old" terminators. I have many, many metal ones. I just put them and their 25mm base on top of the 40mm and base. It helps make more uniform.

Jay, do a collab with Minisodes. I believe he is the premiere Oldhammer 40K channel on YT. Battlereports, love for the derpmarines and all that.
Paint the vanilla marines as some sort of special veteran squad for their years of service and keep them. You will have fun repainting the old models it will bring back a lot of memories.
Personally I probably like a lot of your old stuff more. Primarily because I despise the new hover vehicles.
My 5th wolves are effectively complete, I refuse to add anything primaris to them, so everything I have somehow acquired I put into a new sharks army.
I have a lot of Horus Heresy marines that I run in 40k (casually) I use cork on the bases (thanks for that) to give them some extra height, but mixed squads do still look weird. My short king chaplain is trying so hard.
You could build a shelf for the old Marines and remember where it all started for you I know I have some 2013 dark angels and I'm doing the same for them
@1:26 Those are some handsome looking terminators front and center!! Great job with your collection. #I'll buy your first models!!
I'm playing on making my old space marines (dark angels) into a chaos army under Cypher. The demons will be angelic host sort of stuff.
I'm still collecting my space marine army 35+ years on from getting my first ones - RTB01 (have two boxes of those). I recently stripped a lot of them from all the random colours I'd painted over the years, so that I could repaint them all as one ENTIRE chapter. I have about 30,000 points! Wouldn't get rid of any of them, even the old janky ones that look silly, so some of them will live in the retirement home at the back of the fleet.
I kind of like your old scouts and I'm sure flyers will be good again one day (or they will be museum pieces because removed from game entirely).
Could use the scraps of what’s left after updating the old Templar as downed brothers who have died at the feet of the new Templar’s like just dead guys on the bases basically
I am sad you have the vindicator in the "does not exist" pile
Its very good unit *and* I would love to see what you do with the big canvas of the siege shield
I have 15 space wolf dreadnoughts , 10th edition made me cry a little
What I want do with my old Minis is to turn them into terrain pieces like statues and reliefs to mimic some of the most glorius moments I had with them :)
You should do a review of hoard mode from the poor hammer podcast. You have the perfect collection for it.
I picked up cheap Rhinos for my Death Guard. To Nurgle them up I used miliput for flesh around googily eyes for pustules
As soon as I found out about Centurion Warsuits, I had to print 2 units of them and get them in the table
Old dreadnoughts can be sent to the greenstuff factory and become helbrutes for your nurgle
Great collection, awesome enthusiasm and wonderful painting. Personally I've never seen the appeal in displaying a large space marine collection. The silhouette gets very monotone. Tons of medium-sized minis with tanks (boxes) and Dreadnaughts (cool).
I definitely get where you are coming from Jay. I started my Ultramarines 15 years ago. As time passed and I gained more skill the army evolved. I now have beautiful box art level primaris marines next to my thicc paint, primerless first born marines.
I started stripping and converting my old marines (still first born) into veterans. My first ever warhammer models, a 5 man combat squad are now Sternguard Vets.
However in my quest to unify my army I feel like I lost something. If I could do it differently I would have kept some of my old units as there were. Ultimate they were a point in history, a reminder of how far I have come. So maybe keep some of your old units as is. Perhaps in the future you will be glad you did.
Jay please use your old dreadnoughts for a diorama and make a video out of it. That way you have recycled it into a display piece, scale wouldn't matter as you wouldn't be running them. (Would be fun to see dreadnoughts taking on a bunch of Roger rogers)
Every time I see your Black Templar collection I am inspired to continue painting my large, unpainted Hive Fleet Kraken Tyranids Army. Thank you for your painting videos 🙏
I hope your conversion to update the Rhinos into your Deathguard works out well, sounds awesome!
use the old templar as victims on the bases of your other armies
Turn the old marines into corpse piles, that would be some cool terrain!
I would take many of those old space marines and make a diorama out of them. A scene, a battle, an escape? Just something that Your Black Templars went through.
I also use my Dorito dread as a ballistus! It just makes sense.
What did i do with my old Space Marines?....i packed them into nice foam cases...and never look at them again
Alotz of Zelotgitzes to krump!😘
These video are my favorite, your army showcase.
“Here’s my black Templar army” shows GREY space marines lmao, idk what those are my guy but they aren’t black templars
4:12- See, I never liked the OG Terminator miniatures!?! I don’t know……. There was just a insane amount of “miss-sizing” (at least in my opinion it looked like their arms and legs belonged to someone twice their size! And the helmet looked like it “had to be” the head!?! Because if there was supposed to be a head in there, then it is the head of a baby! And not just a baby…… a baby that was below average in size)!?! Which honestly, I felt kinda the same for all old school SM!?! Which is probably why I gravitated straight towards Orks! They were kinda bad also…. But still far better than SM were!!! Anyways, but these new Terminators are pretty awesome!!! I only have 1 units (so far) from my half of that new L box set for 10th! But with how great they look all painted up (and with how my SM army isn’t just 1 Chapter or 1 Legion) I think I’m going to get more!?! How many more? I have no clue!?! But no more than 3 more……. But we’ll see!
Every Monday I watch your videos when I'm at the metro and they unironically make me smile ❤
putting them in a last battle inside of a epic diorama to have them crusade forever in said battle would be an epic idea
damn As someone who is about to buy their first box. I'm just thinking how long must my minis be hella bottom tier! 😭😭 before i can paint something good. I mean from 2015 to 2024?? 9 yeearss hoOoOolyyy
I'll have fun I'm sure, but just knowing that they're gonna suck kinda sucks 😂 No matter how many videos I watch i know skill comes with experience and actually doing the thing, finding what works for you nstuff Godamnit
I had a Black Templar army back when I was 12. So that's like 22 years ago. Sadly when I was over them I just sold everything. I shouldn't have 😢
5:06- Where did you get all those candles? Did you print them or buy them as is?!? And if you did print them, on what (the reason why this last question is important is because depending on how good your printer is, that will determine how good mine will look if I also print them!?! Mine as of now is only a 4k! But I think maybe in 2 years if I’m still around, I’ll upgrade!?! But yeah, if you had a worse printer and they look that good…….. then they will look great off of mine! But if you have that new 12k or whatever it is, then mine isn’t going to look as good and I’ll keep looking for other options)?!? Sorry for how long this ended up being…… but I felt like the last question needed to be explained because of those trolls that like to pretend that no one makes any sense!?!
I regret not keeping up with Warhammer, between my sophomore and junior year of high school my brother and I got into Warhammer Fantasy, and I built some Vampire Counts models, that Christmas we got some more models and we even pooled our money together and got a 40K sixth edition starter set but we never even built it. Shortly after we got it I got my first job, then I had a girlfriend and between, work, school, and friends I was just too busy to get back into it but it always sat at the back of my mind. Then recently I took almost a whole month off work and because I now live near a designated Warhammer store I decided to jump into it.
Next time I’m home I’ll probably grab my old warhammer stuff from my brother.
