These are photographs from Warhammer World as it was about 10 years ago or so, it's sort of the opposite of the recent thread of photos of the place as it is today. Apologies for the poor quality of some photos if I was going now I'd take a lot more and they'd be much better. I was going to just put up the Big Toof ones but many won't have seen many of the exhibits. The occasion I took these was when they were scrapping Warhammer 5th edition and the boxes were being sold off half price and the Armies books were 3 for £10.

To start off...

Battle of Big Toof River

Very cool stuff! Thanks for sharing.

The life size stuff is especially amazing, Id love to have been there to see those displays.

It could be worse, you could be on fire.

They're not strictly lifesize from what I recall, the Marines and Terminator were little more than 5' tall.

That's truly an awesome set of photos. I remember reading through the last Ork codex where they have tons of pictures of the battle of Big Toof river. I also remember a bunch of those other displays in the old rulebooks and Space Marine codex. This makes me wonder: What happens to all the old displays? They can't just trash them, can they? :-(

Thanks for sharing these pictures!
