I’m a massive Oldhammer enjoyer, which means if I see a crusty old Warhammer sculpt from the 80s, 90s, or even the early 2000s (yes, that’s old now—sorry Millennials), I want to rescue it and give it a new home. So when Games Workshop revealed the “new” Bretonnian Lord for The Old World and it turned out to be a hand-sculpt from 2008, I honestly thought he looked kind of funky-cool. The internet, however, was absolutely ruthless—long fingers, wide cheekbones, goofy face, and a studio paint job that didn’t do him any favours in photos. In this video I buy the mini and try to prove he isn’t the ugliest thing GW currently sells by repainting him with a darker, punchier scheme. I also go on a bit of a tangent about crediting—because it’s mad to me that sculptors like “Martin” take the heat for early work while basically being uncredited and unable to show what they’ve done since. Then I tackle the big “problems”: I use matte black to hide the ends of those infamous fingers, swap shiny true metallics for non-metallic metallics to control reflections, and repaint the face with pinker skin, darker hair framing, and bigger eyes to pull everything back into focus. In the end, I’m humbled: I’m not convinced I beat the studio painter, but I did learn a lot—and I’m still happy to have this weird little 2008 gremlin in my collection.
