This shot realistically covers over 25 years of collecting. Ulthwe has kept along with me through a lot in my life, including a bout with cancer in which I sold off nearly all my models to help pay my medical bills.
Other units have been retired like the original Eldrad, but the first model I ever purchased is still there and still used.

I highly recommend people have a bit of fun and put their largest army out all at once and see how massive your collection has grown. One day I'd love to use the force all at once, though I doubt I'll ever be able to.
This is a thing of absolute beauty! I've just come back to the hobby for the first time since 2001 and am revitalising my Ulthwe, it's bringing me a lot of joy! Out of interest what was your first model? I bought 3 striking scorpions in 1997!
ReplyDeleteHi Mungo, thanks! My first models were a two pack of warlocks and a two pack of Striking Scorpions back in second edition. The second edition scorpions were the models that brought me into the game. Unfortunately back in 2004 I had a serious illness and had to sell off the bulk of my army, but I do still have one of the warlocks.
