Buy Painted Warhammer Figures Online - Games Workshop Painted Miniatures for Sale


It’s fair to say that I fell in love with the world of Warhammer, almost from the moment I was introduced to it. Quickly becoming a member of a group of ‘geeks’ at school, who (while others chased girls, and smoked cigarettes) would group together at the bottom of the football field, out of sight, to roll dice, battle unclean Daemon, shred rampaging Orks with heavy bolter, and vaporise rogue Terminator with my trusty multi-melter. And while to some degree I regret the girls that went unkissed, in those early years of my life, sacrificed for the benefit of the Imperium. The worlds of Warhammer fantasy, and Warhammer 40K, have held my interest for many years since. Enveloping me in the raw depth, and variety, of these ever expanding twin universes.
Like many in those days (and perhaps still today), I began my journey into the world of Games Workshop gaming with: Blood Bowl, Hero Quest, and Space Hulk. Before moving onto Warhammer Fantasy, and then finally Warhammer 40K (which is still my personal favorite). But, even with all of this love, and respect that I have for Warhammer tabletop gaming, and for Games Workshop in general, there was, for me, always just one thing, that was (and to some extent still remains) something of a disappointment. My own armies, due to my poor painting skills, never resembled anything like the miniatures that I’d sit and drool over each month, in White Dwarf magazine.
I had the paint sets, I had a wide range of different brushes, I had the painting guides, and to some extent, I even had the time, and the patience. But try as I might, as hard as I might, unfortunately for me, I lacked the skills necessary to really bring any given Warhammer miniature to life. I tried mixing, and inking, and dry brushing. But eventually, I gave up. Everybody has certain talents in their hands, and painting Warhammer figures to the standard I craved, was not in mine. And while in those early days when eBay was still a dream waiting to be born, I managed to convince the occasional, more talented friend to paint the odd figure for me, now, thanks to eBay, while not cheap, I have the Warhammer armies that I'd always desired. So that now, with greater vigour than ever before, whether faced with Eldar, Chaos, or a Tyranid horde. With beautifully painted chain-sword in hand, In the name of the Emperor, I carve my way through...
