I collected for a year or two but it was way over-priced.

I have to say though, although the models themselves were quite good, the stories and "history" written alongside them was fantastic.
It was worth getting into for that alone.

Unfortunately, almost the entire lot was left to my imagination as I only ever had one friend who could play me and even then that ended the moment he got an N64 with Goldeneye! :-D

Buy yourself the players guide and DM's guide for AD&D.

It's a lot better than tabletop wargaming.

I gave up when the prices started increasing at a phenomenal rate, and the quality of the miniatures went way down. That was about ten years ago!

I used to play Warhammer40k and Realm of Chaos when I was younger.
Fun times, excellent models, and a brilliantly realised universe in both cases (with the exception of the Orks, they were just too silly)

It is all brilliantly presented, highly appealing and fun.

Still overpriced, over complicated and they NEVER finish what they start. They have an army to make... they promise to make them but they never do and then they re-make the older models.

Stuff like Gorkamorka that was cheap, easy and fun. I loved it... they brought out extra stuff which was cool... new rules in the Supplement and then................. they didn't finish the models and it just dissapeared.

My feelings exactly. It's a load of overpriced junk. It's just little bits of paintable plastic that cost a few pence to make sold at several pounds a set. Not worth it at all, because it's so DULL, BORING, POINTLESS, TEDIOUS and CHILDISH.

It is fun to paint the models, but that wears off after 5 minutes. And you do need a billion dice like AOE said plus it is a rip off to buy the plastic models that are just junk.
Verdict - Crap with a capital "C"

It's crap. It's a board game which costs you a billion times more and with a billion more dice which you have to paint. Not worth it.
