Taken from full post here:
link 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!) ~~~ For the rest of the post:

Those look wonderful, Mars. My favourite is the Shambling Mound, but all of them are great (though the Umber Hulk doesn't look quite right to me – the figure, not your painting!). The old minis had a style to them that is very appealing. Keep up the great work! |

Not to be insulting, but the balrog isn't a particularly good sculpt, nor is the paint job anywhere near that of the babes Tango provides links to. However, somehow, they work together to create a result that is very impressive. Weird--I'll have to try to figure that one out. Grelber |

Gone Fishing,
Yeah, I dont really like the Ral Partha Umber Hulk, but I had him lying around unpainted.
I prefer the Citadel AD&D one myself, maybe someday I will find a reasonably priced one or find a good trade for it. Grelber,
Not insulted at all. Im not a pro-painter, Im an army speed painter. |

Looking at this lot I have to say: You need some Minotaur. |

Thank you. These not only look awesome, but your effort in bringing up stats for them is very much appreciated! |
