OK, a story... about the world's smallest Witch Hunter army.

I was in Hong Kong this week and natually visited Fun Atelier, the one store listed in WD for Hong Kong. Great shop, lots of GW stuff, lots of other stuff, friendly staff.

Didn't bring an army but I will next time I'm in town.

Anyway afterwards I checked out the neighborhood, a typical crowded Hong Kong neighborhood. I ducked down what I thought was an alleyway and halfway through it became someone's barbershop. He just put up a tarp roof, some chairs and a mirror and POOF alleyway to shop.

Gotta love it.

Anyway so I find this toy/model shop and buried in the back, behind a pile of anime characters I find... racks and racks of circa 1995 GW models!

So I got the shop keeper to open up the cabinet and picked up some Necro redemptionists and Tallarn. Enough to make an Inquisitor with retinue and 2 squads of Inquisition Stormtroops. I didn't save any money really, it came in around US$50 but it just made me so happy.

WHY?

Well my first trip to Hong Kong was in December of 1994. I had just finished studying in Japan and was broker than broke but wanted to see China and Hong Kong while I was in Asia.

And I swear, I visited the same darn shop 14 years ago but was too broke to buy anything!

So anyway, here's Inquisitor Hussein and his merry men. My next project after the Emperor and Horus get done.

Nice find

I liked those old Tallarn models. I bought a squad of them back in 1998 (I think) but was way too broke to spend that much on so many metal figures back in the day (just out of High School). Anyway, enough nostalgia. Sounds like a good find; hope to see pictures at some point.

They will go nicely with the Inquisitor pimp-mobile you are making.

nice find, can't wait ta see em painted!

PROGRESS!

They're still WIP but so far so good.

nice, keep us posted!
