Bronze Age oldhammer
« on: January 17, 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.
If you don't believe in lead, you're already dead.

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.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.
