"Gods know why I continue to work for this madman," mumbled Heinrich. "Always has me fetching tools but never using them. If the ol' bastard wasn't such a genius, what with enchanting that rubbish into his Shackle Actuating Whirler or his Concentrated Fragmentation Spheres, I'd have left his workshop long ago."
Suddenly, Heinrich heard an angry shout "I said bring me the damned hammer!" "Yes professor, right away!" responded Heinrich as he scurried to bring the hammer to his mentor.
Curtis Fell at Ramshackle Games was kind enough to send us Yanks quite a few of the Oldhammer Priests he sculpted for the various Oldhammer events around the world this year. It's a pretty simple model, and yet it's also a pretty great model.
I've painted this one up in a red robe with a black and white checkerboard pattern on the sleeves. I also gave him pretty pale skin to look like he spends many hours hunched over his work desk.
My goal is to get multiple uses out of him. He, in this color scheme, works as a a low level Adeptus Mechanicus priest; one who has not yet risen high enough to to begin replacing his weak flesh with pure machine.
But I also intend to use him as an apprentice in Frostgrave. I have a yet unpainted enchanter to which he shall follow. I'll be using the old Citadel Chainsaw Wizard as the enchanter and this model looks like the perfect brow-beaten apprentice to follow around such a crazy sorcerer.
Very clever choice and the association with the chainsaw wizard will be perfect, can't wait to see your band evolve from here !
ReplyDeleteThanks. Luckily, I have 8 or so painted thugs and a necromancer and apprentice already. Eventually, I'm going to paint up the foundry ex-citadel mercenaries to accompany them, but I'm sure my gamer ADD will delay that 😉
DeleteNice! That chainsaw wizard looks pretty cool. I look forward to seeing yours painted up.
ReplyDeleteHe's in my "to be painted queue" but that's no guarantee he'll get painted any time soon!
DeleteI like this fellow very much. He'll partner up very nicely with the Chainsaw loonie.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Sometimes simple is best!
