Oldhammer Slann, Chaos Dwarves, and Metal Magic Orcs Too!
Pre-Game interviews:
You got Bullywugs in my Ziggurat!
or Guard my sacred spawning pool!

From full post:

Im going to have a Warhammer 1st edition battle tomorrow based on the "Ziggurat of Doom" scenario.
Thought I would show off the figures today and introduce the forces that will be involved in the upcoming conflict.

Here are some Slann guarding one of their sacred spawning pools.
Slann come in many colors, I chose to stick with the Kremlo lore, and paint them as the "BlueSpine" tribe.
Left to Right: Musician, Slavemaster, Kremlo, Warrior, Herald, Palace Guard Officer.
These are C-32 Slann from 1987.
Kremlo actually has a scenario in Citadel Compendium #1 "The Legend of Kremlo the Slann".
I think this might be the only scenario written for 1st edition, outside of the White Box and Forces of Fantasy.
Apparently, he was raised by humans and took up arms against his own species. Here in Moria, he has been forgiven of his past misdeeds and cant wait to show his loyalty to the Slann cause.

As an aside… Here's a look at it. The scenario itself isnt anything great, fluffwise or mechanically as a game. But it does have great artwork! Look at that old school charm!
Than again, the "Ziggurat of Doom" scenario isnt that great either. But I will spruce it up, with more victory conditions, more forces, more objectives and random event cards.

Nice work on all the minis. Looking forward to the battle report.

Good stuff! I never played the kremlo scenario as it seemed the Vikings would be up the creek sans paddle, but also because I never had slann, will be interested to hear how it goes, and who succumbs to alcoholism +1 :-)

Oh fond memories I couldn't afford them then but fawned over the WD adverts and stuff, great work there MINUTE
Cheers happy gaming

I bought 2000 points of Slann for WFB 3rd, about 4 months before 4th was announced. I was VERY disappointed they did not get an update along with every other army. Grrrrr…

I bought the bulk of mine afterwards, on closeout straight from GW. Ton of minis, and a really great deal, even if it was a "bottom of the barrel" selection- I have leftover about ten right-side cold one and cold one warhound halves, with no lefts!

Your slann look great. And thanks for not painting every one green! IMO, the pre-slotta slann were the best-looking of the lot.

I will stay tuned for more Oldhammer goodness.

I love your Oldhammer figures and approach. I hadn't seen the Metal Magic orcs before--they do look nice. I'll look forward to future posts!
