Nerd, father, husband. Fascinated by pieces of nerd history. I love sharing and discussing old GW stuff, retrogaming, comics, etc.—basically, anything that makes me feel nostalgic.
Yesterday someone DM’d me with an interesting question: why do I share photos and content from old White Dwarfs and classic GW manuals?
Sure, it’s because I genuinely love them — but also because they’re historical records.

Ian Pickstock brings the Imperial Guard Basilisk to the tabletop. Earthshaker shells and steel discipline—the Guard never looked so mighty. Still one of the best tank kits of its time.

A classic 2000-point Eldar host from the glory days! Eldrad Ulthran himself leads the warhost — Dark Reapers in black, Howling Banshees in bone-white, and Swooping Hawks poised to strike. The perfect blend of grace and power from the golden age of Rogue Trader-era armies.
