Mars Miniatures - The Moria Reclamation Project, Oldhammer 1st Edition

[Darren Richardson]

Darren,

The 2 center figures (roasting spit and chef) are from the MD-7 Gob-Lobber Dwarf Onager box set.
The 2 dwarfs on the far ends are not.
I think the far left figure is from a Dwarf villagers set, and the far right is a artillery crew from something.

I thought so regarding the chef, I remember looking at the adverts in WD years ago and drooling at it, but I never could afford it (still can't LOL)

I was lucky in getting the chef and the roasting meat for $10 USA. Then again, the time I spend in scouring for old figures is considerable. Its either a money-sink, a time-sink, or most often both.

Amen to that, I'm currently scouring around for 2nd Ed Space Marine Lead, my Credit Card is crying

I have got my hands on an Oldhammer Citadel set from the 80s.
Its the Prince Ulther Imperial Dwarves!
I have had 18 of them for awhile now, but didnt have the box itself. So I jumped at the chance to get another 18 of them but this time with the box.






Here are the 2 figures I had been missing. A musician and Prince Ulther himself.
All this time I thought I had Prince Ulther, but actually I had the unit champion, Borri Forkbeard.


So, here is a pic of all 36 Imperial Dwarves I now have.
As you can see, Runelord Kragg has joined this unit.
Front rank from left to right: 2 troopers, musician, banner, Prince Ulther, Runelord Kragg, Borri Forkbeard, 2 troopers.


Here is another newly painted Dwarf. Boren the Hunter with his trusty feline companion.
He might be a druid, or a ranger, but he is definitely a rat trapper.


So Boren joins the ranks of the Rangers alongside Josef Bugman himself.
Front rank left to right: The Beercart, 2 drunk dwarves, Pickles the Mapmaster, Josef Bugman, Stonewall Jarlson, Finlay the Bagpiper.

Short update today, but this time with a video!
I took out all the painted Dwarves I have on my shelves and the current muster is at 453.
Its just been a lil over a year since I began my retro delving into Oldhammer goodness and I still feel like there is just so much more to do and stunties yet to purchase and paint. Gotta catch em all!





And here is the video. [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbgmZpDjcOE"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbgmZpDjcOE[/URL]

Which could be a lot better, I admit.
But the music is inspiring!
The Dwarven Empire will reach the limits of glory.
I do need to find a Dwarven Napoleon figure, I think I remember seeing one sometime ago.

In the next post I will show off all the enemies of our stuntie heroes... the Axis of Evil! Orcs, Undead and Dark Elves.

Oldhammer Orc on Tusker & 80s LOTR Uruk-Hai

Taken from full post here:

In this post, another 32 painted Oldhammer Greenskins joins the Horde.
Plus we show off some surprising non-Orc allies/slaves?
So lets start with a painted gallery of figures, and in the second half... some fluff for the impending battle report!


Left to Right: General Remulak on Orc Tusker, General Snarktail on Wolf.

Remulak comes from a rare Orc species known as the Conehead Orcs. They are more intelligent than the average Orc greenskin. Their unusual head shape unfortunately also makes Conehead children the target for lots of Orc bullying. However, the survivors that make it to adulthood end up being the most cunning and cruel of greenskins. Remulak rides an Orc Tusker, a creature from a forgotten time, the Pre Slotta age. This figure comes from the legendary Fiend Factory line from Citadel's Pre Slotta era.


80s LOTR Uruk-Hai.
From left to right: Uruk Hai guard, Captain Gorgo, Uruk Hai guard.

These 3 Uruk Hai are vintage Citadel ME-44 Uruk Hai Guards. They are the leaders of a unit known as The Uruk Fireballs. Captain Gorgo is related to the Gor Brothers. They come from Fireball Island, a volcanic rock in the middle of Lake Nurnen in Mordor.


Somewhere on the southern border of the Shire. An Orc General on his Tusker and his Uruk Hai underlings have just found out that their Elephant beastman is missing.

"What do you mean you lost the Mumak? Its a bloody giant beastie!" the Orc General Remulak screams at his soldiers from atop his Tusker.

"We last saw him grazing near the Shire - you know, that green flowery happy place that makes us Orcs sick to our gullets." says one Uruk.

"Yeah we hate happy places!" says another Uruk.


"Assemble the Horde!" says Remulak.


The hills are surrounded with more orcs than you can shake an axe at!
