    Oldhammer Monster Manual


    Just for fun, here are all my currently painted Oldhammer-ish Monsters.
    Citadel, Marauder, & Ral Partha only need apply.
    All my other new fangled critters will have to sit this one out.

    The stats for the monsters I pulled from all versions of Warhammer 1st edition to 8th.
    Storm of Magic was pretty handy, and the 6th edition Chronicles titles too.

    For the weirder monsters, I did take into account their AD&D stats from 1e Monster Manual.
    And tried to model them by using mostly Chaos Attributes/Gifts/Spells and other Special Rules to Warhammer-ify them.
    I dont play in pick up games or tournaments, so I didnt bother about point values.


    "At my challenge, by the ancient laws of combat, we are met at this chosen ground, to settle for good and all who holds sway over the five points."

    Now onto the Monster Manual (in alphabetical order too!)

    Oldhammer LOTR: The Muster of Bree

    Ravens have brought news that the Shire and Breeland have been burnt and ravaged.
    The defenders of the Shire have retreated south.
    But in Breeland, a Resistance Leader has risen to forge the survivors of humanity from the ashes!
    More armies of the Undead are heading to Bree again and in even greater numbers.

    Aragorn the Ranger has decided to head south to Breeland, to help this mysterious Leader of the Resistance and rally Bree from certain doom.
    Aragorn has left command of the defenses to Lord Commander Jeor Mormont and Jon Snow.
    He cannot bring an army of Rangers with him, but he has sent a handful across the lands to inspire other nations to send contingents to Bree...
    To Kislev and its Icy Queen, Rohan and the Horse Lords, Dale and King Brand, Deepwood Motte and House Glover, White Harbor and House Manderley, and to the mercenary Houses of Estalia and Tilea - the famous Dogs of War.

    In the meantime, a lone Aragorn has fought his way to the northernmost part of Breeland, the forested village of Archet.

    We now take you to the action...



    Left to Right: Aragorn, Aeron Thistlewood, the "Rip Raffs"


    Aeron Thistlewood is bandit chief of these parts.

    This mini is an 80s Pre-Slotta Oldhammer Citadel figure from the Fantasy Adventurers Cavalry line (FAC)
    His code is: FAC4 Mounted Sneak Thief with Dagger
    Sneak Thief is pretty awesome descriptor!

    Aragorn: Excuse me, I am Aragorn, also known as Strider the Ranger. Are you the Leader of the Resistance?

    Aeron Thistlewood: Hail and well met. I am not the Resistance Leader you are looking for. I am a simple bandit chief trying to make my way in the world. However, I am on my way to Bree to look for this Leader and see if we can join forces with him? Shall we share the road?

    Aragorn: Sure! (moves his wallet to his front pocket)

    The Muster continues….

    Farmers At Arms, Village of Combe

    Further south, Aragorn and the Archet Bandits arrive in the farming community of Combe.
    Considering that farmers and bandits have never gotten along, Aragorn decides to go meet them first – to smooth things out.



    Left to Right: Aragorn, Gavin Appledore, the "Penny Crop Mob"


    This mini's code is FAC5 Mounted Druid with Sickle

    Aragorn: Excuse me, I am Aragorn, also known as Strider the Ranger. Are you the Leader of the Resistance?

    Gavin Appledore: No, sir, I am not. I am a humble Druid and protector of these farmlands. I do know you! You are the Heir of Slitherine! Ummm… no… Isildur! Yes! The Heir of Isildur, and rightful King of the North. I am at your service, Majesty!

    Farmer 1: I didnt know we had a king.

    Aragorn: Then who is your Lord?

    Farmer 2: We dont have a Lord, we're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take turns to act as sort of an executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of internal affairs.

    Aragorn: (sigh) Farmers…

    Union workers join the fight!

    Onwards to the industrial town of Staddle...

    Aragorn and company have reached the great East Road and the town of Staddle, known for its Blacksmithies.


    Left to Right: Aragorn, Howland the Hammer, the "Bellow Boys"

    Aragorn: Excuse me, I am Aragorn, also known as Strider the Ranger. Are you the Leader of the Resistance?

    Howland the Hammer: No, Im not the great leader of the Resistance, but my sources tell me, he can be found in Bree tomorrow. If he promises to fight for fair wages for workers everywhere, I will promise him my Hammer! What about you, Ranger? How do you feel about the 99%?

    Aragorn: Strangely, I know nothing about politics, really... but I do know how to fight with a sword and a bow.


    On the left is Howland the Hammer of Staddle.
    He is the Master Craftsman, and all the Trade Union toughs recognize his authority.
    With a word, he can shut down industry across Eriador with an event that is the most dreaded thing among the bourgeouis elite... Labor Dispute!

    Radagast & His Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Quest

    On the road to Bree, Aragorn and company run into.... Radagast the Brown and a company of foot Knights in full armor!

    Finally, this blog confronts the issue of Radagast and how he is at the center of all the bad events that are ruining Middle Earth!


    Left to Right: Aragorn, Radagast the Brown, the "Lost Knights of Arthedain"

    Aragorn: Radagast! Dont tell me that YOU are the Resistance Leader!?!?!

    Radagast: (looking sad) Um, no... actually Im not. Im not even a hero, really. I have soooo much to make up for.

    Aragorn: (puts arm around the wizards shoulder) Oh? Whats wrong there, buddy? You can tell your old pal Aragorn...

    Radagast: Where to start? Umm.. so I was leading Arwen, Haldir, Glorfindel, a Dwarf from Westeros, and alot of Barbarians through Moria... (see last years posts of basic D&D in Moria, EDIT: Ohhh, yeah, the very last ending adventure was not recorded on the blog. Its all for the best, really! Lets just let Radagast explain... But at least you can read how well they started off!)

    Aragorn: Ooh, did you run into Halbarad? He was on a mission there with Eomer and Eowyn! I hope they are ok?

    Radagast: Oh they are fine, Im sure, they took a different route than us. But... (sighs) I lost Arwen and all the other Elves in the Tombs of Terror! Haldir was impaled, Glorfindel is trapped in a rock prison, and Arwen stepped through a doorway that looked like a mouth! It might have been a sphere of annihilation, but Im certain it was actually a portkey! (I claim DM's discretion in saving Arwen for a future adventure hook!) In fact, as she disappeared, I noticed the faint odor of brimstone... The dwarf Tyrion and his barbarians lasted a bit longer, they...

    Aragorn: You let my beloved Arwen fall into... HELL!?!? Arwen Evenstar, daughter of Elrond, grand-daughter of Galadriel, High Elven Princess of both Rivendell and Loth-Lorien...

    Radagast: Noooo... not that bad! It was the odor of noxious fumes that could only be from the Dark Plains of Mordor... So, shes fine... as long as she keeps herself hidden in the shrubbery... and avoids the Orc patrols. And the toxic pools. And the Nazgul on winged beasts. Oh and the Eye of Sauron thats like a searchlight of doom... Look, Aragorn, we can go find her later. Right now we have to save Bree. Then we can save Arwen. OH wait. We have to save Gandalf from the top of Isengard Tower after Bree. Thats why Im here, we save Bree, then get all the northern humans together to assault that traitorous Saruman...

    Aragorn: (facepalm) Gandalf too?

    Radagast: Well, I was supposed to send Eagles to Isengard, but then... you know the Tomb of Terrors thing happened, and Galadriel banished me from Loth Lorien... and I forgot. So by the time I got to the Misty Mountains, something terrible happened to the Eagles! Terrible, Aragorn... its Tzeentch, he must have planned this for a long time...

    Aragorn: Arwen, Gandalf, Eagles... Im afraid to ask about the most important news of all... Frodo.

    Radagast: Wait, who is Frodo?

    Aragorn: (facepalm)

    Radagast: I hope its not too important...

    Aragorn: (facepalm)



    This mini's actually code is Citadel C02 - Gustavus Ravenmage.
    Of course, in my campaign... he is Radagast the Brown!



    The "Lost Knights of Arthedain" claim they are descended from ancient nobility from the fall of the Northern Kingdoms.

    Aragorn & Radagast in Bree at last... Plus protesters! Make Bree Great Again!

    The Prancing Pony Militia


    Aragorn and company finally get to Bree.
    All his life, Aragorn has trained in the art of war.
    But nothing prepared him for politics.
    His dealings with the commoners has sparked an interest in him to at least try to understand them.
    But, its hard work trying to get the communist farmers from preaching louder than the union worker activists.

    Activists: WHO GOT THE POWER? WE GOT THE POWER! WHAT KIND OF POWER....
    Guy who has had enough: Hey... hey... (crowd quiets down) This is library....

    All this politics is giving Aragorn a big headache.
    Strangely, the bandits seem to be the least troublesome.
    They just tease the farmers, and try to steal from the union workers.
    Bandits at least are just lovable bullies.

    Aragorn: These protesters and anti-protesters are getting out of hand, Radagast. Hopefully some Undead show up soon!

    Radagast: Dont worry there buddy, they are being painted as fast as possible by our invisible blog chronicler! BTW, you should hire that "This is Library" guy when you become King. And not just because you need to have an Easterling quota in your cabinet, but Im pretty sure that he will be an internet meme someday.

    Aragorn: Whats an internet?


    Aragorn and Radagast lead a motley band of rogues into town.

    Oh, I forgot to mention my new game mat from Deep Cut Studios, all the way from Lithuania!
    I splurged and got the mouse pad material. It folds out totally flat and the colors are great.
    It just matches Oldhammer colors, like 80's gamebook art.
    I got this one with cobblestones and another stony/mountain one for the Return to Moria campaign.

    I highly recommend! Thats a 10 out of 10 axes review rating from me.

    The Midnight Rider & the Peaky Breelanders
    A horseman rides into town, at the head of a large group of ruffians.
    Is it the Midnight Rider?


    ♫ Go and tell the Midnight Rider
    Tell the rambler,
    The gambler,
    The back biter
    That you can run on for a long time
    Run on for a long time ♫

    Indeed, it is him!
    The Leader of the Resistance!

    And he has brought a lot of proper Oldhammer friends to boot!


    Left to Right: Aragorn, The Leader of the Resistance, the Peaky Breelanders

    Yummy old school 80s goodness!



    This mini is coded as C33 Mounted Adventurer, Rogue with Dagger

    I love everything about this model - the rider, the rearing horse pose.
    Look at that horse's face! And his 80's flowing mane!

    And the rider himself is the epitome of rogueish-ness.
    So who is he?
    Who is the Midnight Rider?

    Just finished up painting these Armorcast resin terrain pieces.
    And... more than 200 Undead troops as well, lots of bones coming up in the next post!

    So, lets examine the Ruins of Bree...


    So I got 5 ruined structures here.


    But life goes on, in the ruins of Bree!
    Here is the portable Prancing Pony snug pub!


    Radagast sets up a little wizards study to prepare his Vancian spells for the upcoming battle.
