At 3am (as all good hobby decisions are made), I was doomscrolling eBay and accidentally found what I genuinely consider a Warhammer miniature jackpot: a battered old Citadel C15 Armored Orc from 1983. That makes him 42 years old, which is both hilarious and also slightly terrifying when you realize he predates a lot of “Warhammer” as we think of it. So I decided to do what I love most—an Oldhammer makeover challenge—where the golden rule is always: the older and the uglier, the better. In this video I take that crusty, thickly-painted, face-planted little lead gremlin and restore him properly: strip the ancient paint, straighten the bent sword and horn, and even do some dental surgery to bring his teeth back from blob status. Then I try to push him into the future with a modern paint job—smooth blends, loud saturation, speckled skin, a big cartoony eye (I leaned into the weird), and some colorful non-metallic-metal nonsense inspired by modern Slambo. Finally, because I want him to have a real shot at standing among the youngsters at Golden Demon, I build a plinth and freehand his original 1983 flyer art as a backdrop—no printing, no cheating, just tiny-painting pain. The result is a ridiculous, characterful relic that somehow looks… weirdly modern.
