Vintage 1984 Games Workshop Warhammer Quest Wardancer 28mm figure

[micahrogers]

Hello all, I've been digging thru my packed up stuff looking for my D&D minis, and I found this gem.
Vintage 1984 mini for the game Warhammer Quest. This is the Wood Elf WarDancer. I also found 3 of my painted figures from this same time period which I'll add picks off in this thread.

I have primed the mini with Vallejo Surface Primer Grey 73.601


This miniature is cast in pewter, not lead free pewter, but real pewter. For this reason even the mounting tab is getting primed.

These are the other mini's from this series that I found, all painted by myself back in 1984

Great bit of nostalgia there... especially the boxes, when they first used to do figures, they were in a plastic blister over here in England with a bit of foam to keep them from jumping about.
1984, blimey I was 14 then!
I might have some kicking about at my mothers

The blister pack was inside the box... The box holds all the cards and counters and rules to play these in the game.

Okay, primer has had 24+ hours to cure, so painting will begin today.

Now I finally see the inspiration for the Harlequin from Warhammer 40,000k.

From the video game Dark Crusade

You should see it in game. Nothing to mess with. Knocks everything down then leaves you venerable to attack from the other Eldar force while it cuts and shoots you. Nasty piece of work.
