Oldenheim – Oldhammer meets Mordheim!

More undead chaps!

First the highly sought after ‘Boney Bomber’ a C17 Skeleton from 1987.

Second is ‘Morbius the Liche’ from the 1987 boxset MD8 Skeleton War Machines.

And the Undead horde so far…

Two more C13 Night Goblins, this time from 1983…

…and these bring it up to 40 Goblins now…

1984 release C13 series Night Goblin…

Two more C26 Men-at-Arms to finish off the City Guard…

This is the 1982 Fiend Factory (and then C18 Undead when moved to Citadel Miniatures) Lord of Darkness…

The 1985 AD&D Troll from Citadel and a 1983 C12 Great Goblin…

Two more old Citadel Skeletons, one a 1990 Marauder MM50/4 with a nice fur coat, and a July 1987 C17 Skeleton hero…

So the tenth figure painted this year is a C27 Chaos Goblin Mutant from 1984 called ‘Gagoblin’ or ‘Wingback’ at times.

Next up… a 1988 Marauder MM90/1 Chaos Dwarf and a 1983 C15 Armoured Orc!

Next up… a 1988 Marauder MM90/1 Chaos Dwarf and a 1983 C15 Armoured Orc!

Next up… a 1988 Marauder MM90/1 Chaos Dwarf and a 1983 C15 Armoured Orc!

Lord Krell demanded more C17 Skeletons, this time from 1987…

Brings Krell’s unit up to a nice 25 lads now…

Among the C04 Thieves range were a small number of pirate types released in October 1984. Designated as ‘Rogues’ these had a very piratical look. So almost 40 years old this fella!

I have a few of these so started to do up a small pirate warband… First to be done is the huge First Mate, a classic Citadel figure, who was later remodelled into a Chaos Thug (that O painted a few years ago).

Another C Series Fighter, this time from the first slotta base release in 1985..

Another C01 Fighter from 1984…

Not much going on this year for Oldhammer but the occasional model, and here is the Ogre Champion from the 1985 BC2 Monster Starter Set…

Not really doing much on this project in 2023, needed a bit of time off from it but have completed one of the old Citadel C26 Men-at-Arms with pole arm. This range was allegedly the best selling of all the ranges in the mid-80s and its still available with Foundry at present.

The range has tons of variants for each pose and it’s a great War of the Roses or late Medieval range. It was handy for any generic human force in fantasy as well as being popular with historical gamers…

Very old fella this one, and seems the mould on the left hand always failed, but as he is Fantasy Tribe Fighter FTF54 ‘Adventurer in Leather Armour’ from 1982, that then moved into the C01 Fighters range in 1983 from Citadel… we will let him off the poorly moulded hand!

Coming up first for 2023 will be a few models from the BC2 Monster Starter Set released in 1985.

First up… the Manic Hobgoblin Hero!
