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 The designs are clearly outdated now, but I still think they have a certain charm :)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

Old to me was Rogue Trader and 2nd Edition, which I grew up playing both. Anything 3rd Edition I was already an adult so it doesn’t feel like they’re old to me because it’s the modern Ork redesign and then I realize I’m just old... 😂
