Just a fun post here, maybe someone else was into these "back in the day..." feel free to chime in if you were also a "gamer"!
I happened to step into a hobby shop the other day and see my old addiction as a kid, Warhammer fantasy battles miniatures! I had collected and painted tons of these infernal things with a whole Chaos army of the four chaos gods Nurgle, Tzneetch, Khorne and Slaanesh. I always thought the miniatures from the Uk Games Workshop guys were way better than the minitures by Dungeons and Dragons, Reaper or Ral Partha.
Does anyone remember the UK heavy metal band Bolt Thrower? The band was named after an elven warmachine from the band members plaing the Warhammer game! Their second LP "Realm of Chaos" was one of the finest early 1990s fantasy death metal ever recorded and all the artwork was done by the Games Workshop miniatures people, including a gatefold cover and pull out lyric booklet full of Warhammer artwork.
After standing in the aisle remembering all this I just had to buy a box of miniature aliens and a bunch of paints and brushes, come home and put on the old Bolt Thrower LP...
Ah, memories.... I feel 15 again!
