Title: Bronze Age oldhammer
Post by: area23 on 17 January 2022, 06:39:12 PM

I've become a little obsessed with Bronze Age fantasy.
Not Glorantha exactly, neither Greek myth, but something based on what I have lying around.

Warhammer Ungor mostly, with a Chaos Warband made a couple of mixed 80's warhammer figs: A sorceror, Thugs, Savage Orcs, Barbarians, Chaos Dwarves and a Blood Bowl cheerleader turned Ungor lady.

The Ungor I loved since they were released. I size and style they were much like 1980's Citadel miniatures.
The hoplite shields are old Marauder Miniatures plastic shields. saved them for thirty years and only painted them yesterday.
I decided for old bronze and avoid to try and paint colours on these. If I want that I can get decals that look better than my painting.
With my new old bronze recipe and a slight higlight of actual bronze metallic paint I'm really happy with the result.

I'll add Foundry Bronze Age Europeans and Sea People as potential Chaos worshippers, thugs and raiders. I particularly like the horned helmets of the Sherden, as if they dressed up as Ungor or lesser demons.

Bronze can be tricky and I reckon you've nailed that.

Nice work.  I picked up some Ungors for a skirmish game and they're quite nice.

 Nice work!
I have had an obsession with bronze age fantasy as well. To the extent that I am having a break from it. Constantly buying more stuff.

Beautiful stuff, I really wished GW had stuck with those types of sculpts.
