Warhammer World Part 2

Some more photographs from this year's trip to Warhammer World, this time from the exhibition. Lots of nostalgia starting with...
I've got at least one of those boxes
At this point a passing member of staff commented that they, "Knew that look." This initiated an interesting conversation, the staff member in question was an archivist and it was her job to track down old GW models in auctions and on EBay. Apparently GW themselves do not have a complete set of everything they produced, particularly the early eighties. Turned out I may have some figures that they don't!

The exhibition was well worth the entrance fee. I reckon it took me around ninety minutes to go round. There was a mixture of dioramas and cabinets of figures. If you have ever been even vaguely into GW's mythos, never mind being a current collector, then this is definitely worth a morning of your time if you are in the Nottingham area.

The pub's pretty good too and surprisingly cheap!

Anyway here are a few photos...
Even I'm not old enough to remember this edition of Warhammer
March of the Undead by John Blanche
A Cadian army on parade
Dark Angels - amazing hand painted banner on the land raider
Dwarves and airships - what's not to like?
Didn't get a good photo of this one but wanted to include it to give an idea of the scale - all 28mm
