Download dark elf blood bowl miniatures6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Heroes for Wargames was published by Paper Tiger in 1986, again, before I got into miniature gaming (which began a few years later with Blood Bowl 2nd Ed and Dark Future) and is basically a Games Workshop house title in all but name and publisher. Before we look at a few items inside, that cover still causes me a bit of confusion…Is that warrior riding something or just has an ornate shield? Is that a proto-genestealer in the foreground? Is this a book for Role Playing Games or Wargames? I must have spent hours pouring over this thing as a kid because looking at it now it’s as familiar as if I read it last week. I’ve been reading through the book the past few nights and it’s amazing how so many of the incredible pieces of art I’m still recalling. That art piece that had been lodged in my head for a few decades wasn’t the front cover of the book…it was the back Well, I was able to track my old book down and find a great copy for a sawbuck. Also, there’s pictures of Blood Bowl and Dark Future minis in those books…games that came out after I had received my miniatures painting tome. The above series are basically showcases for the Golden Demon winners in ’88, ’89’ and ’90. However, finding a few copies to preview, the pictures and layout of these titles is much different than what I thought I was remembering. Well, I thought the book I had in my youth may have been the one on top here. Several months ago I went to go find this book having gotten rid of my copy long ago. ![]() For the longest time, and up until a few weeks ago, I thought the above illustration was the cover of the book. Seeing me into this, my parents bought me a book about the miniature hobby filled with beautiful examples and gaming history. ![]() With the RPGs came painting minis for characters, npc, monsters etc. Growing up in the 80’s I spent a lot of time in RPG books having not really gotten into minis wargaming yet. For the past several decades the above piece of art has sort of been burned into my memory, in fact it was almost the banner image of this blog. ![]()
