Oldenheim – Oldhammer meets Mordheim!

Yet more from the 1986 Norman and Men-at-Arms ranges that became the F4 Feudal series, plus two Clerics; one is the ‘Devout Cleric’ from the 1985 BC1 Adventurer Starter Set and the other is the ‘Acolyte’ from the 1985 release of slottabased C3 Clerics.

Yet more 1986 C4 Feudals, more Normans and Men-at-Arms ranges to use as my Bretonnian levy spearmen…

…and the slowly amassing Bretonnian forces…

A whole raft of 1980s Citadel miniatures completed that I forgot to post up!

The earliest of which is one of the C15 Armoured Orcs from 1983! Lots fron the Norman/Feudal range, a 1986 AD&D Cleric and a Marauder Goblin!

First unit for my 2ed WFB Empire Army… this shows how all the random models completed for various Oldenheim warbands come together to form units for the army.

Gives a real rag tag and varied look to the units of men at arms this way and reminds of the old adverts with everything painted differently!

So… a unit of 20 Men at Arms, with hand weapons, light armour and shields;

Two more finished fellows today.

First, ‘Chow’ from the first wave of OH1 Ninjas released in 1986.

With him is a ‘Knight of Harkness’ from the 1986 release of figures for the ‘Tragedy of MacDeath’ campaign pack.

An example of how figures will do double duty in games… Gerhart will crop up in both Bretonnian forces and in my Stirland Warband for Mordheim as an impoverished Imperial noble wearing old family armour…

‘Gerhart’ C26 Feudal Men-at-Arms from 1986…

Another of the C4 Feudal on foot, this time ‘Ludwig’ from 1986.

With him is an F7 Feudal Knight from 1987 – ‘Ralph Lord Wilford’ and he is riding ‘Silver’.

Quite a selection this time… from left to right;

Citadel C27 Ninja from 1987, then a Dwarf thief from the 1984 C04 Thieves range,  then ‘Sitric, C37 Viking from 1986 and Albi Schutz from the Terror of the Lichemaster campaign in 1986.

Quick set of pics of the completed Chaos Warriors so far.

Quite a few left still to do but getting there…

A 1988 Chaos Champion next, released for Realms of Chaos and quite a sought-after model due to his funky bone styled armour… joins the ranks of my growing followers of the Dark Gods.

Two more Empire types!

A spear armed fighter from the 1988 Marauder MM60 range and one of the first iterations of Reiksguard from Maruader MM65 ‘Heroes of the Empire – Reiksguard’ released in 1993…

Three more from the 1984 C17 Skeleton range…

…and a group shot of them so far…

One of the ME73 Barrow Wights from the Citadel Middle Earth range released in 1985…

Another Norman, this time Roland from the 1987 F4 Normans release…

Some of my favourites from the 80s come from the 1984 C17 Skeletons releases, that for me, set the feel of Undead armies to this day.

Added two more from the range to this years Undead project…

A 1985 C36 Hobgoblin to join the warband that will be invading Nippon!

Next from the 1987 F2 Fighters release is Astol the Archer…

He will joining the Carroburg Warband…

A bit different next… and a real oldie.

FF11-2 Treeman from 1982 who later became Klinty the Treeman in the 1985 MacDeath campaign supplement!

The grand old age of 40 this fella!

Next though it’s back to Undead and another Marauder Skeleton. This time its the ‘Undead Hero’ from MM50/1…

Two more Skeletons from the 1987 C17 releases and they show how the same body type was reworked into different variants.
