Sourcing Miniatures - Updated: 30/08/2025


Updated: 30/08/2025

Brand new origional and second hand miniatures are readily found on eBay. Prices are always high but there are certainly bargains to be had, especially if you are prepared to soak the miniatures in Dettol for a few days and then clean with a toothbrush and cocktail stick to restore them to their factory fresh state!

However there are companies still selling origional WFB 1980s miniatures and bases that you can go ahead and order from right now to get started straight away.

Here is a list I will continue to add to and aim to keep updated:

      I know there are plenty more to add from Wargames Foundry and likely a few more from Ral Partha too. Will keep coming back and updating it from time to time.

      I am basically making a Christmas wishlist here ;)

      Added a fair bit more.

      Any idea whether these spearmen were actually released by Citadel?

      I can't find them catalogued anywhere...

Hard Core Oldhammer

Welcome to the Hard Core Oldhammer blog where we show you how to do Oldhammer the hard core way! Rules of Hard Core Oldhammer: 1. The game is Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) 3rd Edition. The key publications are:      Warhammer Fantasy Battle      Warhammer Armies      Realm Of Chaos Slaves To Darkness      Realm Of Chaos The Lost And The Damned      Warhammer Siege      Warhammer Townscape 2. The models, bases and components were* produced by Citadel Miniatures, Iron Claw, Marauder Miniatures and in some cases Ral Partha before 1991. 3. The aesthetic for miniatures and scenery alike is straight from the key books above and the pages of White Dwarf Magazines of the 1980s. * Miniatures in some extremely limited cases have seen re-release by Games Workshop, Ral Partha Europe, Ral Partha Legacy and Wargames Foundry.

Here we have questions that only a hard core Oldhammer hobbyist might ask.  Please feel free to pose new questions and insight on answers in the comments below. This page will be updated as new questions and answers arise. Your contribution is welcomed 👍  Updated: 30/08/2025 Q. What grade sand was used as the standard in house solution for those mid to late 80s Games Workshop studio bases? (Painted Goblin Green and drybrushed with Bilious Green) A. "Bird Cage Sand" was stated as the standard back in the day. Now it comes with shell calcium, lime and flavour additives so it might not be ideal. Fine sand of a grade 0.1mm to 0.3mm will work to produce that studio affect when glued on with PVA. Q. Trolls and Ogres are listed in Warhammer Armies as requiring 40mmx40mm bases however many were sold with 50mmx50mm bases. Which is correct? A. 40mmx40mm Q. Fimir of most types are listed in Warhammer Fantasy Battle as requiring 25mmx25mm bases. Characters on 40mmx40mm bases. All were h...
