It's because of that damned thing that I am forever cursed to begin making Crimson Fist armies, only to get bored part way through and never finish them...until the next time - 5 years later, when I vow I will finish that army!
I've got the same patch, I proudly display it on my custom Blood Angels messenger bag I got when I started working for GW. I've also got some random old figs I just can't seem to part with.... Automatically Appended Next Post: I've also got one of those limited edition molded bolter shells from a few years ago too.

And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity...... |

Reminds me... I'm credited in an old 2nd edition AD&D product (Lands of Intrigue: http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showbook&bookid=2420)... Research Assistant.
I still need to find a copy of that thing and autograph it for myself!

I've got the all the Ultramarines and a Fire Warrior Side Show statues. From Skullz I've got the Mechanicus set, Ultramarines Standard Bearer, and the imperial credit. Marine wise I've got the Games day 99 captain, Christmas Captain, 2 Emperor's Champions, captain Draco, a land raider with extra grey knight details sculpted by Gary Morley, and a bunch of recently discontinued stuff that seems to go for big money for some reason. For books I've got the Iron Cross, the limited Ciphas Cain book, new Iron Warrior book, the Limited edition of Rogue Trader, Signed copy of Siege of Vraks 3, 40k 5th Limited and collectors editions, gamer's edition of fantasy, and every black library art and history book but a few. Odd stuff I've got 2 bolt pistol keychains, the Terminatus patch, and a bunch of bulldog buckle stuff.

On a side note, how many folks have the "Pile of Skulls" RTT prize from a while back? Or the the marble plaques with the resin and metal badge/purity seal that they gave away for painting, sportsman and general?
GW use to have really nice trophies, then they priced them out of reach for T.O.s. Now it's all store credit and paper certificates...

If more of us valued food and cheer and 40K over hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. |

I got one of those. It was the last month of those prizes before they went to the horrible sigmar priest/space marine duel diorama.
I think the griffon was the best trophy they have ever given out.
As for memorabilia that I enjoy? Ephreal Stern diorama perhaps the most likely thing.

Hmmm. Have one of those White Dwarf 300 Gold-Plated statues and a pin. Other than that, just misc. signed stuff that has value to me.

Have the Gothic and the Eldritch book by Jes Goodwin, the original hardbound Rogue Trader book (fallen apart but still have all the pages), and First Edition books for Dungeons and Dragons, which was 2 books (one red, one blue) with questionable art on the covers. Still have my original metal Terminators that come in the box as well as several of the original metal Genestealers and Harlequins.
Have a lot of old White Dwarf issues, including the Eldar revamp one. Also have a complete set of Warhammer Quest (and the Witch Hunter character set) and the GW made Talisman, with all the expansion lands, but not all the characters that came out.
Have a few limited edition metal models, like the Gorkamorka Nob aiming his slugga, a marine captain with power fist, Anghor Prok from the Kroot... think that's it.

GW-produced janglies from a GorkaMorka campaign at the Fair Lakes GW (RIP) around 1997. One for trouncing the store staff in a pitched game, one for a mob painting contest, and one for being the top gang at the end of the campaign.
Also, a slick bolter keychain from Gamesday...1997? 1998? Late 90's sometime, I forget exactly which.
I have the bolt pistol. Yes, it was either Games Day '97 or '98, I can't remember exactly which myself, but I'm thinking it was '98.
I also managed to hang onto Codex Imperialis from the 2nd edition box set. It has units and points costs in it for Squats.

I have the Sportsmanship one. I was scored best painted (and I WANTED best painted), but apparently Sportsmanship trumped it. It is still a sweet trophy. I also have the Inquisition Keyring from Bulldog Buckle and the old pewter/resin Rouge Trader Tournament pin.
On an aside, I'm very sad that Privateer Press discontinued their awesome faction coin prize support. Understandably, they were expensive for the store to procure, but damn if they weren't sweet looking. I played in as many tournaments as I could and paid a small fortune in miniatures to try and earn them. I ended up with 2x WM overall, 1x Hordes overall, 2x Cryx, 3x Menoth, 1x Khador, 1x Everblight and 1x Circle. Missing Cygnar, Mercenaries, Skorne and Trollbloods. Alas, those days are gone, and with them, the chance of completing the set. Nobody will part with their coins, and rightly so, as the coins for the heavily played armies were hard as heck to get.
