I posted the catalogue as pics a couple of years back (here) but just found it again and thought I'd scan as a PDF as they seem preferable. Great trip down memory lane as always. I've put it as 1978 but not 100% certain of the exact year. Certainly close though!
Well, now I've caught your attention......this is a blog about gaming miniatures, both old and new school but with a leaning towards old school. I've been in the hobby since the 70s and seem to show no sign of stopping in the foreseeable future.....

The Courier magazine 1975 - Der Kriegspielers and Heritage ads
Volume 7 no. 4. Lovely set of articles (original scan courtesy of Mikal) from before they joined forces. I was 13 at the time and just beginning my journey into poverty.

Interesting letter from Allan Watson of Australia regarding the banning of lead!
That's 5 issues so far, plenty more to come!
Finished three old Asgard Orcs - these were some of Jes Goodwin's earliest sculpts back in the 80's.

More pics of the range on Lost Minis here. They are still available (and very reasonably priced) after all this time from Viking Forge in the USA here. Let them know I sent you!
That's it for now. Don't forget to follow the blog and become a Politico please (top left), also, if you fancy buying me a coffee, I'm always grateful... miniature collecting is thirsty work.

Table Top Talk July 1963
Another glimpse into the past... thanks to Mikal (again!) for the PDF editing... there is also a May 1966 issue (not my scan) on the shared drive (link below) that I will rescan at some point. I've got another 20 issues to go but a printer/scanner that is glitching continually... my hairline can't take the stress!

Citadel Fantasy Tribe Evil Leaders and more...
The Fantasy Tribe Evil Leaders range was released late 1982, then it was changed to C22 before being amalgamated into ranges by race type. They were designed to expand upon earlier range releases. I think I've got the right figures... plus a couple of others I seem to recall being released at the same time... if you have any thoughts or other pics please let me know on enquiries@deartonyblair.co.uk
Chaos Commander
Thought I'd add this lady as I finally painted it after all these year... Citadel Female Fighter, one of 6 versions...
That's it for now. Don't forget to become a Politico please! Also, if you fancy buying me a coffee, I'm always grateful.
