Warhammer 40.000 wh40k Eldar Harlequin (without pattern of squares or diamonds) with hand-flamer and power-glove and punky mohawk vintage gaming miniature painted lead (or something) games workshop games 1990s hobby figure

            Photo; MushroomBrain and his old system camera 1990s sometime

Model: vintage 1990s Harlequin painted by me…

Yes I hadn’t painted him the right striking eye-catching vivid fractal harlequin pattern yet…

Well I never got to it, we used my figures mainly as meeples and when I started painting some of the miniatures I realized how time consuming it would be to cover them in dimond-shades and chess squares, I opted to rather get then in basic colors…

Since the occasion where and actual figure was really rare, it didn’t matter much, we played mainly 40k chaos warbands with a campaign system and these small bands of warriors where often very mixed and also had mutations, gift of the gods and pillaged the casualties at the end of the battle…

This made it rather cumbersome to convert miniatures to show off the right equipment and the fleshy mutations and other changes the gods gifted ( or cursed ) the dammed souls with…

So often a band would consist of: 

1 renegade champion of Khorne with Goathead and extremely fat attribute wielding a chaos weapon a bolt pist. And a needler

5 beastmen with lasguns and  powergloves and the attribute mechanoid completely

1 assassin with loads of equipment and the attribute of silly walk

3 chaos hounds with beaked, uncanny resemblance and eyestalks

And 

10 (space) Dwarves with plasma guns and knives and no mutations

So you rarely had the right figures so you would take an 40k beastman imperial guard pack leader from the imperial guard and proclaim him as the leader/renegade of the band

Then you would take 5 advanced Hero Quest skavens and pretend them being a odd form of beastmen

The assassin would be some harlequin figure with roughly fitting equipment

The chaos hound would often be a mix of any four-legged figures with the right base

And the Dwarf unit would often quite correct real abhuman dwarfs from the plastic space dwarf set but they had Las-guns pretending to be plasmas

Oh those where the days… but really it was quite cool to play with a campaign system and see your army either regress or progress… none ever got to advance in to Demon Prince status, we had a couple of close cases and whenever we rolled for rewards we would have our fingers crossed for a “eye of the god” roll!!!

ok I guess many of you who never played a miniature wargame will understand this text, also those who were players after the turn of the last century will probably not understand much either…

Peace and Noise!
