As many of you know, I\'ve just gotten back into this after a couple years and even then, it was a brief two month stint from about a twelve year hiatus before that. I figured most everything was lost from the time \'before\'.
Well ... gotta love a wife that has been with you since the first move out of California and her packing ability, though not necessarily her labeling.
lol
Wife decided to go through some boxes that have been following us around for some time now, house to house, basement to garage and today she decided to tear into them.
Well, well, well ... lookie what we\'ve got here she says to me. I immediately perk up and skip over.
Paint cans, magnifying pin clips, baggies with miniatures in them and blisters. Oooh sweet heaven. It was like christmas all over.
So now I\'ve got:
::Twenty or so Chaos Warriors from the early eighties.
::Four Elven War Dancers (love the mohawks) from the same time.
::Six Chaos Sorcerers from the early-mid eighties.
::A ton of skeletal bitz along with plastic sprues of Bretonian archers, orcs, elves, heads and weapons for what looks to be the Hero Quest game.
:: A ton of Ral Partha Imports and Grenadier miniatures (mostly dwarves and humans in armor). There are two seriously cool dwarves in the bunch though.
:: A few Shadowrun and Werewolf miniatures. Been a long time since I\'ve seen these. Should be fun - specially the one that looks like a hooker with a machine gun!
::Three cans of Testors Dull Coate (wonder if the stuff is any good still). Two cans of old Citadel Matte Varnish. One can of Gloss Varnish. Two cans of white primer and one can of Black primer (all of which I had but now I don\'t need to buy any time soon.
Top that off, when I got back into painting a few years ago for a brief stint before relocating and all that good jazz, the wife seemed to find a whole collection of Reaper miniatures that I bought when they came out (I knew I had that damn Hydra somewhere) which she convienently packed away with my old stuff.
Huzzah!
(rubbing hands together gleefully)

FF....I say it would be an excellent time to take the wife out to a fancy \"Thank You Sweetie\" dinner.....among other things
