Vintage Chaos Warriors

 Vintage Chaos Warriors from the old SS1-2 and SS3 v2 The Knights of Chaos Citadel boxed sets...

 

These classic 1983 pre-slotta based lead miniatures always resonated with me- they seemed to be inspired straight from a Robert E. Howard book and felt like they could be part of Thulsa Doom's entourage in the 1982 Conan film. When reading Konrad books in 1990, this is what I imagined the Chaos warriors and armour would look like. Over the last few years I have dug these out of the lead pile, cleaned them up and painted them for an Oldhammer force of Chaos. More to come as I clean up those old Chaotic metal miniatures. 

A very Oldhammer troll from Satyr Art Studio. Drew's work captures the era perfectly and these will fit in lovely with my 3rd Edition greenskin force. A lot more of his classic looking sculpts will be featured as I hack and slash through that lead pile.

Orctober 2017...

Orctober has arrived... do we really need an excuse to paint and base some old-school 1980's greenskins??!?
Some C15 Orcs from the Perry's- Cyclops, Nazram, Tizog, a Kev Adams archer and a Pre-Slotta Fantasy Tribes Armored Orc clambering over the hills below the pass.
More to come.

LimumWorks is now live with the Grotesque Shields GS01 available and ready to ship. Be sure to keep an eye on the 'On The Bench...' page as I have some behind the scenes info on the white metal process coming soon.

Pre-slotta Greenskins...

A few pre-slotta lead pieces that were resurrected from heavy enamel finishes…
I dig the savage look of the Fantasy Tribes Orc from ’82- the sculpt seems to have been a starting point for Bagrash from Orc’s Drift.
I’ve always loved the C13 Goblin ball and chain wielders since seeing them in Kev Adam’s army from the Armies book.
The Mummy is a Citadel Fiend Factory piece from around 1980 which is probably the oldest Citadel piece in the collection aside from a couple of Ral Partha wizards that are stamped 1979.

Deep Space Mercenaries...

My recently completed deep space mercenary Commander from Heroes for Wargames and of course the Rogue Trader Rulebook.
