Yes I read other blogs, and probably yours too. And you've all been very unoriginal and decided to write a post on your favourite Top Ten citadel miniatures...
Not to be outdown or left behind, I thought I would quickly create a list of mine. I didn't realise what a horrible bunch of callous bastards you must all be! There's just no way I could limit myself to just ten! Theres 15 pictures of citadel finery to follow...
Also you must all have too much time on your hands because I spent way too long trawling the interweb...
Glory be! A couple of elven war chariots thundering towards your enemy! Scythed wheels, unicorn -esque horses, archer, champion and falconer wizard! Nothing too outrageous or outlandish, but each is full of character. It doesn't matter they're all squished together, this piece is the pinnacle of citadel design and production in my simple honest opinion. And if your elves don't have any then shame on you!
Seriously you don't want to mess with me. I'm an ogre mercenary captain and hard as nails. With enough artistic talent to scuplt and paint my stomach guard a vibrant blood red. Eye catching ain't he?
What worse than a ogre mercenary... An ogre corrupted by the tainting powers of chaos. He don't use that claw for anything but disembowelling. And those pus filled boils of bubonic plague? They're a gift for you after his finished playing with your innards...
This is the bastard that brought chaos to your world... He's a mean looking ancient spell casting frog on a magically floating Aztec platform. I want! But Miss piggy is the true power behind the throne...
Just want him to join my chaos forces. His skulls have character... So does his axe...
Lowly goblin wolfrider, guaranteed to leave the field of battle in a hurry? Yep but look - he's just so full of character! The later ones just don't compare! And I'm going to sulk now cos I can't get him anymore. I'm sad...
Ok now I'm cheating. There are 22 minis on this page alone, all of whom could be in my Top Ten. The good news is there are more pages just like it at Solegends. I'm thinking I want a chaos warband of just these guys and their familiars, or a game based purely on battling chaos sorceror wizards...
Crisp clean sweeping lines of an eldar Titan. One fell through the door recently, along with a load of other eldar epic stuff, all of them melted my heart, but this was my favourite.
Space Marine Captain 1991 only available from Games Day. Dawn if skulls. I've never been to Games day and someone sold me theirs for the princely sum of £10 back in the day. I still have him mint in blister! Suckers!
I bought 3 boxes of these when they came out. Lost them in the mists of time. Wish I still had them. I suck...
Mk I Space Marines. I bought several of these back in the day. If I was going to produce sci fi miniatures, they would be copies of these guys...
Or these guys! So cool. My childhood was spent drooling over pictures of these and not studying. I'm still an IT Consultant and now I have the knowledge I have these guys somewhere in my garage. I really should drool over them a bit more in real life...
Want want want! I don't have much in the way of Nurgle, (too much love for slaanesh!) but I'd welcome this guy with open arms. How tough do you have to be before you can just sit and be carried into battle....
Gorgeous figure. Pale rider and all hell followed... Need
And to me this is the ultimate bad guy. He ain't small either. Need! (Sorry for poor image res. I suggest you go and google Saator. Don't blame me if there's a knocking on your door though...)
The best figure citadel never did...
Well that's about it from me. There were some lovely undead and skaven that I wanted to add, but time is running out...
Thanks for watching... Here's to the next daft time wasting posting craze.
