White wolf put out a set of clan glasses. I have most of a set. I also have 4 of the Toreador champagne flutes.

My collection of shadowrun, 2nd Ed forward is complete...and most of 1St Ed as well.

The D&D pantheons book with the Christian and Lovecraftian gods

Deities and Demigods? Very nice!

As for the SR1/2 stuff - that's for me, the high point of the game (before The Crash crapped on the storyline) - it's also when I played most of my SR...

We have, I believe, the entirety of the old World of Darkness line. We also have the Dune Rpg. As for miniatures... Don't think any lol. Perhaps the odd lingering Man of War or Squat miniature, although sadly I suppose all of Specialist Games will soon be considered rare.

Nice Zond, I have most.. just missing a few books from the games I never really played, Mage and Wraith. Trying to convince myself to pay extra for books I'll never really use is a tough break mind.

I have a some comic con Heroclix mini's, the Warhammer Online Orc Warlord, and some limted CCG stuff as well.

I've owned better stuff in the past, but boredom and need of monies saw the end of them, such as limited release FW models and a complete set of fully painted Man O War fleets, included unreleased ships, and amazing creations to represent the never released (model wise at least) Undead Fleet.

Don't really have much in the way of truly rare stuff. My Necron army is almost entirely the original 2nd Edition metals. I have enough old metal Warriors to field the Necron Phalanx formation.

I've also got a really good collection of AD&D Ravenloft sourcebooks (plus a copy of the original Castle Ravenloft adventure). Not a complete collection, but one day, it will be.

It's difficult to know what is and isn't classed as rare with certain models. I don't have any of the unreleased stuff but I do have a huge all metal 2nd edition Empire army and a few Rogue Trader era squats and orks.
Without a doubt my rarest and most treasured GW possesion is a set of 4 Gaunt's Ghosts books, bound in green leather only 300 of each were released, so not only do I have the full set but they are signed to me personally by Dan.

I’ve got a ton of old stuff. RT era minis, RPGs from 1st ed D&D forward, etc. Not sure how much get to be called an artifact due to just age.

I do have the leatherbound, limited edition L5R 1st ed. rulebook. 17/1000, with my imperial assembly number stamped in it and signed by the design staff. Also L5R related, I have one of the Crab clan pins. They made prototypes, 10 for each clan, and I don’t think they ever went into production.

At one point I had enough signed magic cards to build a playable deck, but those all got sold. I do have some signed cards for other games.

Prototype river sections from Forge World. Made and painted up, never put into production.

I have a signed copy of Robinloft 2 for the HackMaster Role Playing Game.

Unlimited Edition Magic Cards.
BattleTech Cards still being produce? I've complete set of those when it came out
Bunch of original Battle Tech figures before Ral Partha lost the law suit
Manage to get a hold of first edition SM I am now Simple Greening. So far they have been. Came with metal Blood Angel figures
*White Scars
*Ultra
*Dark Angels
*Blood Angels

I have one of two ever made L5R Togashi Yokuni steel busts. I also have one of the old GW staff bolt pistol key rings (made of lead). I also have two klaives from Werewolf, one the official one and another made by a friend from plate steel weighing in at close to 10kg. And of course my old RT stuff.

I have a Miss Terious model from GenCon but that's about the rarest model I own in my collection.

That IS awesome, they are probably my favorite 40k books.

I don't have a huge assortment of "rares" and collectibles, but I have some. In the spirit of the OP, most of mine are also Battletech related!

I have the entire run of the short-lived Battletech comic series (which was terrible, really).
I have two "One-Eyed Jack" models from the clicky-tech game (you had to get them through a mail-in, if I remember correctly).
I have several of the pre-lawsuit sourcebooks, including 3025 and 3050.
The coolest thing I own is a misprinted Battletech CCG card. On one of the cards the image is flipped 90 degrees! Sadly there really isn't a high demand for the cards on ebay so it's not really "worth" anything.

I also own Blackbloods, Stygian and Elves from the ill-fated Chronopia wargame. Man, I miss that game so much.

I have a RT/Second Edition era Ork army (painted in the originial colours) as can be seen on these photo's;





It is for sale by the way, although sending it might pose a problem. That big Battlewagon is very fragile (as well as all the banners).

Other than the great Thousand Sons (the metal ones, as can be seen in my gallery), I have some other bits and bobs from long ago. The Slaneesh Noise Marine with the Guitar Bolter is a classic!

Kind regards,

Low

Metal buggy, metal bike and original Battle Wagon. Very nice.

At one point, I had an Beta Nevinyrral's Disk (MTG Rare artifact) that I was able to get personally signed by Larry Niven.. .

Since sold it for other stuff.. but it was pretty unique.

Citadel Combat Cards, 1989-early 90s era?, completely terrible game. No one would ever play it with me, lol.

I remember those, my brother and I had a few sets of them

Not wargaming related, but I scored a Ravenloft Tarokka deck in a game store auction for a fraction of what it's worth.



It's pretty flavorful stuff, and comes with rules for doing "readings" with it. I wish Paizo/WotC still made the kind of props that existed back in the 2nd/early 3rd ed days.

Looks like they are OOP/backordered now, but Paizo made Harrow decks, which are tarot-like fortune telling cards for their Inner Sea world setting. So that sort of thing is still being made in recent history.

One of the warhammer fantasy starters came with a big, heavy, solid pewter Hammer of Sigmar. I carry it painted up in my Empire Army case, and bring it out when I face Chaos as a laugh and of course to do some smiting .


heh.

The only limited edition miniatures I have is the female IG commissar and an Archaon on foot, Games Day releases I believe, not that I ever got to attend one mind, I got them off ebay and seriously paid a fortune for them!

Of rare and OOP stuff I still have in my collection; some metal RT IG troopers and roughriders, a IG Beastman packmaster, a twin linked multimelta tarantula, a rapier and a squat thudd gun complete with crew.

I also have some non GW skaven stand ins, can't remember what company made them, they might have been called Ver'Men or Ver-Myn maybe? Rare only in the sense that I've never seen them to buy else where since I got them from the Dungeon in Belfast in about 1994!

Wow, I just did a quick Google search on the pricing of that thing.
Wish I would have picked one up back when White Wolf was selling off all their Ravenloft stuff after losing the license. But, no, I told myself I didn't need it, I already own a real Tarot deck, so why buy it?

And, love that Ork army above.

I'm afraid many items I once owned that would now be considered at the least rare and interesting, if not rare and valuable have become lost along the way. But, stuff I either have, or haven't given up or recovering from a crevice in my parents house just yet.

Both LATD books
RT era HB Rulebook
A variety of mint condition, random RPG books (such as the Star Wars one from around the time The Phantom Menace was in cinemas)
The early GW novels, such as the Konrad Trilogy and the Ian Watson Inquisitor and Space Marine books.
Loads of Decipher Star Wars CCG cards, including a bunch of ultra rare foils
Some really, really old L5R cards.

Wow, thinking about what I've got has made me real some how much I've lost (000s of points of Eldar and Blood Angels from 2nd Ed for instance) and I'm now a sad panda.

i got these
All old GW stuff maybe not all that rare, the dreadnaughts are from the short lived leviathan game

I like those mini-titan things. Those are Scotia-Grendel, right? I'm not sure I've seen them painted up before. Very cool.

Yes, they are still available?

I do have an old metal Imperial Steam Tank (its a pig)

I also have 4 20 year old Flintloque models.

But the real treasure's in my collection are these:

Khorne Ironshark


Chaos undivided Deathgalleys


Nurgle Plagueship


I also have a Tzentchian Bane Tower, but it is currently undergoing restoration, however images shall be available soon.

I've got one of the so called female space marines from RT plus some of the prototype terminators but the rarest thing I used to have (long since gone) was a massive (six foot high or so), cardboard stand of the GorkaMorka boxart. I got that from the GW manager as they were just going to throw it away after the big release of GorkaMorka came to end.

I have every Warhammer Fantasy rulebook, campaign book, army list and Realms of Chaos books from the 80s and the same for Rogue Trader... plus all the journals and compendiums.

I also have a 54mm skirmish set of WW2 German Infantry painted by Dave Andrews.
