From StuartL - The Minis that Time (and I) Forgot - 45 Points

 Hello again. Today I am braving the Oubliette in the Chambers of Challenge. The theme is to paint some minis that you thought you had sold, or from a long forgotten project. Well, my entry is a set of GW Lizardmen models that I originally bought second hand around 1998. At that time they had already had a lick of paint on them. They then sat in my collection untouched for years. After I emigrated to Japan in 2004, they stayed in the UK until my parents eventually sent them over to me in around 2008. They then sat untouched in my collection until about 2012 when I sold them on to a friend who was interested in them. At some point after that, he passed them on to another friend in our gaming group. This second friend recently had a clear out of their hobby stash and gave me a load of old models. Included in the pile were all the lizardmen that I had long since forgotten about. 

So these models have had 3 owners over 22 years who had done absolutely no work on them except to glue some magnetic sheet to the bases to aid on ranking the models up.

I went for a dark colour for the mini itself with a bright crest and colourful basing material. The original condition of the minis can be seen below. I have an army of these old school lizardmen now sat in a box in my hobby room. Hopefully I can get them all updated in less than 22 years.

I debated about rebasing the minis to round bases for AoS, but with rumours that there will eventually be a new version of WFB, I elected to keep them on square bases for the time being. 

5x 28mm minis and the chamber bonus should get me 45 points.

This lot should also get me 1 more point for my Squirrel tally for WFB/AoS (I'm not going to try to differentiate between them). They also add another 25 points to my GW minis side duel. Speaking of which I recently posted some Blood Bowl minis that I thought weren't from GW but it turns out they were, so I need to add 25 points to my side duel tally for them too.

My running duels totals.

GW Points - 337

Skullz - 100

Squirrels - 7

Always very satisfying to see an old ship cleaned up and given a new lick of paint. Nelson's flagship HMS VICTORY was a dismasted prison hulk before she was given the right royal treatment and put back into action, and she remains the pride of the RN today. These Lizardmen are your HMS VICTORY, which is cool.

Square bases are noble and righteous.  Venerable Warhammer figures put on circular bases is Heresy and will incur a penalty of 5 lashes. You have All been warned...
