I recently got inspired to work on some of my old warhammer models, so I dug them out of storage and broke out the green stuff, and my ebay password.
However, I know that inspiration can be fickle, and that I am better at keeping the fire going if I have some sort of project log online, with at least the feeling of some kind of audience. Then, rather than just painting for my own hobby satisfaction, I am also painting for that social media high, posting pictures hoping that someone will reply with a "cool model bro" to get that thrill of community approval.
So. My main love in the world of oldhammer is skaven, so probably most of the stuff I will post will be about them, mostly Clan Moulder, but also with some smattering of other clans.
Secondarily, I also love Nurgle Warriors and Daemons, and will definitely post some of my work on something within that category too.
I'm posting it here on the oldhammer forum because I feel like I the style and effect I am going for with both of these groups is related to oldhammer, and many of the models will be from the right era too. But I'm not a purist or a collector, so the models will be on round bases (when they are done anyway), and there will be some post-80's stuff in the photos on occasion too, as well as stuff I sculpt myself. Just as a warning.
So. The first model I want to preview is my packmaster hero riding a rat ogre. This is inspired by a model from what I think is Andy Chambers' 80's skaven army, though I am not sure. A picture of the army was in an old warhammer book anyway. The model is not done yet, but pretty close to it. Mainly going to put it on a round base (I just really don't like square bases anymore).
The second is a Nurgle Sorcerer on Palanquin. I think I recall reading in Lost and the Damned that palanquins (or maybe it was altars) could be carried by monstrous creatures, so I went with that idea and built a gross monster to carry the palanquin on its back. The palanquin has an earlier paintjob that I will probably just work over, so its just the beast that needs to be painted from scratch.
Stay tuned for updates, imaginary audience.
