40k, Oldhammer

Happy Monday folks, I’ve had a productive weekend on the hobby front and I wanted to share something a bit random with you, plus a cheeky WIP for my next little project (it’s a bit of a photo bomb today).

First up, we have an uncatalogued ”87 (I think) Jabberwock by Bob Olley, and what a beauty she is! I picked her up for a reasonable sum a few weeks ago, and she needed a good amount of clean-up work and restoration before painting – she had nasty claggy glue all over the place! Once cleaned, assembled and filled, I decided to try a very different painting approach with this old girl. She got a white undercoat and then I painted her with ink washes only, (though I did use ‘normal’ paint for the base, claws and the pupils of her eyes). I deliberately went for a naturalistic pallet of greens, browns and yellows, and I’m really pleased with the result. The plan is to use her as a GM controlled sump creature, Deathworld monster, or some other npc nasty:

Wow… it has been a whole year since I started this blog – and how it has flown! With this being a kind of milestone, I thought it might be fun to do a little reflection on where the hobby has taken me these last 12 months. It’s a fairly rambling, meandering post,  but let’s look at ‘models done’ first:

Happy Wednesday folks, I’m pleased to introduce Sten, the Man of Stone, (so called for his stoic demeanour and utter lack of pity or remorse). He’s the Wolfguard Sergeant from Stormclaw – the latest addition to my growing pack of brothers of the Crimson Howl. I still have some finishing touches to apply, but he’s ready enough to share:

And here’s the fluff:

Sten is kin-brother to Mördaren, yet couldn’t be more different. Sten, called the ‘Man of Stone’ by his pack, is utterly without passion, pity or remorse. Where Mördaren is an incarnation of fiery rage, Sten is cold, controlled, calculating and relentless… His twin-hearts could be made of pure Fenrisian ice, but this stoic demeanour masks a secret, for Sten fights a constant battle against his own rage and blood-fury. His desire to see worlds burn and to cleave mountains of skulls is getting stronger – the whispers in his mind become ever more insistent and demanding. His self-control is absolute for now, but ultimately, Sten knows that this is a battle he cannot win. He sees his own future in the twisted form and insanity of Mördaren, and Sten fears this fate above all else… and yet, with a growing sense of inevitability, he also craves the release of losing himself in the howling madness that awaits…
