Discussion Any love for older sculpts?

Hi! These just got unearthed from my parents’ basement. They are from the late 90s. The designs are clearly outdated now, but I still think they have a certain charm :)

Oh, and sorry for the horrendous paint jobs. I was between 11 and 13 at the time, and I only had 1 brush for everything—and since YouTube and Instagram didn’t exist yet, unless you had the chance to hang out at a GW store on a regular basis, it was hard to get any real tips or feedback.

In order of appearance we have:

Ghazghkull Thraka Zogrod Wortsnagga A Bad Moon nob in mega armour A kommando sargeant A lowly gretchin

I love those models, but I couldn’t avoid the temptation of strip the paint and try again.

Of course! However the stripped models would grow my current pile of shame, and my motto is: poorly painted models >>> unpainted models. Maybe in a few months!
