Oldhammer Legacy Warband

There have been some stunning entries into the warband, and it's been great seeing the project come together over the past year. Run by Mr. Axiom the Legacy Warband invited members of the Oldhammer Forum to contribute a figure, then one lucky person will be chosen at random to own the lot. It  has brought forth a wealth of creativity and on the theme of Law. Of course I left my entry until the last minute, couldn't find the original miniature I was going to use, and with a bit of prompting from Mr. Assless decided it was probably a better idea to explore more Zhu-ish terrirory anyhow...

Presenting...


...my entry for the 2014 Oldhammer Legacy Warband - a Gnomish Major Hero riding a war-dog! Rather than a single miniature, I've put together an A5 character sheet, complete with character history, special rules statistics for use with Warhammer Fantasy Battles (2nd edition, of course), period typography, accurately calculated Points Values, puns, glaring spelling errors, missing page references,  notes to rulebooks that haven't been published yet, and, of course a cut-out cardboard miniature - all for that authentic 1980s Warhammer feel.

The chap will be charging off into the post to join his comrades in their crusade against the evil forces of Chaos!

    1. How is that giant coming along then? Glad you like the thing. Will be up to the winner, or perhaps Axiom when it arrives there to show the rest or not.

    Like the cpatian said, I can't wait to have the rules and background under the eyes. Well done !

    1. I know where all my pre-slotta are ;-) It was to be one of the RGB shirelings - or halfling - or hobbit - or gnome or beardless dwarf Garret Gotswot but he's gone on his own adventure out of the box of RBG minis and into the unknown.

  3. This has got me chortling with glee! Just wholly unique and a bonkers take on the concept...I love it. Can we send you stamped addressed envelopes to get our own copies? ;)

  4. Good stuff. What me, bend rules and do bonkers? hmm! SAE for copies? Now there's an idea! What's more he even has an arch-nemesis, perhaps a mini scenario...
