Features art and miniatures from some of the original Games Workshop staff during the early days of Warhammer. The big full color reproductions of paintings from early GW publications are very nice, and give some insights into the origins of the Warhammer fantasy world. I was disappointed by many of the photos of painted miniatures and dioramas, though. They’re often too dark and too small to make out details of the figures. The text is fine, but a lot of the “how to paint miniatures” advice is outdated. A fun little nostalgia trip.

It's a shame that this (and several other of there type books) are "shy" a photo here. I paint and collect minitures mostly pewter, a few older lead ones, and even a few plastic ones. The examples here are older but if your like me you'll enjoy just looking at them and then using the rest for "inspiration".
