20 years of Warhammer

Hi all,
this year I celebrate my 20th Warhammer Birthday. Everything started in january 1998 with my first 4./5. Edition Dark Elves army from a Games Workshop Poster Deal. The Army was a gift from my family and with these evil fellows my hobby career started and my love for the pointy eard buggers was paved.

I collected an imense army and painted a lot of the miniature range of this time. It ended when the 6. Edition Dark Elves were released in June 2001. The new miniature range designed in majority from Chris Fitzpatrick and Juan Diaz just blow me away. I collected this miniature range until 2008. It was my Golden Age, a Dark Elves army well known and spiked with a bunch of Golden Demon Trophies. The years after were marked by real life and the hobby was never the same again. The Dark Gods kept an eye on me and the Changer of Ways turned my interest in a new direction. However, the chaotic years find their end in the End Times.

With my 20th Warhammer anniversary my focus turned again to my beloved Dark Elves. My initial idea was to restore my 6. Edition Army. But, the announcment of the new Daughters of Khaine get me excited and I thought giving Age of Sigmar and the new miniature range a try. I had a lot of fun painting my first Witch Elves and base them on round bases. My motivation is back and I am looking forward to paint more of the new evil girls. Even if my first attemps were not succesful at the Golden Demon Competition this year, I think the first troops will do fine in my showcase.

Additionally, I find the time to restore some of my older 6. Edition Miniatures and I also get interessted again in the older editions. I decieded to celebrate my anniversary together with my Dark Elves through all ages. I thought about publishing my efforts and thoughts about twenty years of warhammer. Thats why I dig out my lost and damned Blog. I will give it a new try and hope this attempt will be more sucessful than my last.

Kind Regards,
GeOrc
