I threw some of these together to inspire some folks on the Oldhammer Community facebook page. I'll probably do some more. Quite fun. Anyone from the 90's will immediately recognize the format which graced every White Dwarf back cover and a lot of the rulebook/codex inside covers etc.

very nicely done indeed

Awesome! Care to share the photoshop psd so we can add create our own?

At the moment I'm just using simple GIMP stuff, don't even have a PSD, but here's the base photo w/ instructions:

Awesome! Thanks man, gonna have fun making some of these :-)

Your minis and terrain look beautiful by the way.

Thanks, this has been good fun. If only I had better lighting and a decent camera!

Nice work!

You need to have more staged fights. One of my favorite pastimes reading those in the day was to figure out who was going to win is those little set piece pictures.

And you did hit the nostalgia dead center with these, very authentic!

Yeah, sadly I only have Eldar models...no opponents as of yet (and likely may never have any!). I fully concur though. I think every single person who looked at those was thinking "Pffttt...no way can the Orks beat two squads of Terminators..." etc.

I knew the Eldar were communists (red block).

Awesome work!!, reminds me of why I got into 40k, do you remember the old punch card scenery GW used to sell? one of the sets had eldar vs blood angels on the cover

Yes! This is is amazing! I have a real soft spot for retro/nostalgic stuff. Well done.

Great stuff Elbows - keep em coming. Makes me wish I still had my old White Dwarf collection.

Nick some mates models to add variety.

Very nice! For some reason these pics remind me of the "How to make wargames terrain" book GW published aeons ago .

Very nice collection of Vintage Eldar.

You take nice photographs, do you have a tutorial or tips?

Thanks for the feedback. I couldn't even begin to tell you anything about photographs. I use a crap camera and some pretty crap lighting...then I just try to save the pictures using GIMP (a free type of Photoshop). Zero actual experience or knowledge regarding taking pictures.

Keezus, thanks. I've been collecting building a rather large army over the past six months. My gallery here on Dakka shows most of them.

Nurgle, that's precisely the look I was going for. This is an example of the old picture style you'd see on every White Dwarf back cover, the inside of many codexes etc.

They're brilliant - I was 12 again! Going to have to steal that idea, I think ;-)

Oldhammer, the best thing about modern Games Workshop. Love these.

I have to say...Oldhammer is where it's at for me right now. I've never had more fun assembling/building stuff.
