Miniatures may be Lead or White metal, some parts may be plastic or resin. Items will be carefully and professionally packaged in bubble wrap and sent in a Jiffy bag. Metal miniatures are stripped (unless sold as New or Painted), so you can see exactly what you are getting. The picture shows the standard of the item that you will receive, likely not the actual one that you will receive. The picture may show a painted item so you can see what the figure can look like with time and effort. I try to get all items reconditioned back to what they were when originally sold. Any lead rot, it's binned. Damaged or poorly cast items are either binned, or if sold then they are clearly labelled as damaged, as people may want these for conversions. Books are sold as Reconditioned, if they are second hand, or New if they are mint.
Additional pictures may show the reverse of item but you only get one of what is shown in the main listing picture. If additional pictures show other items then they will be included. The listing may state "Dwarf 7 Dwarf Dwarves" this means that the original catalogue description was Dwarf 7 and the other descriptors are so people searching can find what they want. Please read full description for exactly what you will receive though, and please be aware that bases are usually not included unless shown in the picture. Item received may be darker than shown, as the camera flash can make the item look brighter.
Sorry, but I don't take offers on the price. Please don't contact me asking to buy items cheaper than shown, because if I start to, then I'll be inundated with different people E-Mailing me, which it's nice to chat, but I'd never get anything done. Not that I'm big business, it's just me in the back room. I do not sell fakes/copies. I wouldn't want to be ripped off myself, and wouldn't rip off others. I've been in contact with Games Workshop in the past, for their advice over this, I will report people who do, and will continue to do so. Fakes are theft. People who do so are stealing, and make peoples collections worthless. If you see it, report it.

1981 Dwarf Hammer & Pick FTD7 V15 Fantasy Tribes Citadel Pre Slotta C08 Tribe GW.
This Dwarf is referred to in the Games Workshop Citadel 1981 Blue catalogue. Which showed various creatures from the Fantasy Tribes range of miniatures. It referred to the range as tribal creatures designed to bring realism to encounters with large numbers of dungeon, wilderness and village inhabitants. This was back in the really old days before GW even had line drawings that showed you what you were buying. When the catalogues rarely had any pictures at all, just a description of the miniature. All part of the fun, as you didn't know what you were getting, until it turned up. Even if you saw a friends Fantasy Tribe Dwarfs, you could end up getting a slightly different version of his ones, as they did quite a few slightly different variants. Each varient had a slightly different head, beard or helm.
Games Workshop Citadel were a fledgling firm back then, so there would not have been that many sold. The Dwarves in the Fantasy Tribe Dwarven (FTD) line were brought out later in the C06, C07 and C08 ranges and some of them can be seen in the First Citadel Compendium. The FTD are pretty difficult to get due to all the various head varients, especially the standard bearers, as they were very thin standards, in lead, so broke easily. The Citadel team must have had a great time back then, as they could literally make what ever they wanted. the varients could be due to personal choice, but perhaps more likely they got through a few moulds back then and changed them slightly due to it. Old School highly collectable preslotta miniature.
Originally brought out as a Character figure for the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons fantasy roleplaying game, as the Warhammer fantasy battle rules did not come out until 1983. AD&D was big at that point and I think that's why GW brought out many lines. Games Workshop Citadel were creating metal miniatures at the right time for the market place, as roleplay games and tabletop miniatures for D&D were in demand. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons is still played today, although the Pathfinder roleplaying game by Paizo has taken a large chunk of the fantasy adventure roleplay market.
