Steppenwolf or How to create an Eternal Champion

A while back Warlord Paul broached the topic of having us all create a character in our own likeness on Google+.  I already had one Schmendrick......but.   If you all have WD #242 you might remember the article on the chaos Champion Steppenwolf.  If not please look it over at the end of the post.

Anyway the gist of the article was that a French GW Francois-Xavier Ngo had modeled an immortal champion who could fight across time and space.  He had a model or two for every game.  With that in mind and Warlord Paul bringing up the subject I set to work making my own Steppenwolf...his name is Schmendrick.

Now the keen follower will remember that Schmendrick is already the name of my Heroquest hero.  Well I needed him elsewhere as well.  So we now have three versions of the character for: Heroquest, Oldhammer chaos, Spacehulk/40K.

He isn't a spitting image of me (he has a bit more hair), but he does embody my persona on the wargame table bringing the pain with his fiery sword Fellmarg!
Enjoy!

Sometimes in the depths of the dungeon there are things that will make your heroes run with fear......

other times it might just be three pigs.

Oldhammer U.S.A. loot

So Blue has given an excellent overview of the weekend as a whole.  I could only echo is commentary.  Let's just say I had a blast, and it was really good to visit and put face's with names.  So on to the loot.  Blake aka Kaaleb Hordes handed out the event mini Bolydirk, thanks Foundry and Kev Adams for this treasure that's him in the center.

As for the rest I scored these on the cheap, no citadel marauder oldhammer RoC propainted then dissolved with simple green oop  1000.00 by it now prices here!

So what did I get well.  I got Slambo up there in the middle, as well as the two chaos warriors on each of his flanks.  I also scored the chaos knight torso with pigtails, to add some more estrogen to my chaos forces.  Lastly I snagged the  Terminator captain on a whim, just because.....well because Don Sargent got me fired up to play Space Hulk!

On a side note, with an 11 hour drive on the way home it gave me sometime to think.  I got a crazy notion to remount my whole chaos army on 30x30mm bases or 30x60mm bases for the cavalry.  Several of my figures have swords sticking out at weird angles that 25mm bases make extremely tight to rank up sometimes. So just wanted to see what anyone thought about this idea before I started removing all my figures!

Quest for Stillmania: The Background

Nigel discusses in this article his options or thoughts about his armies background.  He then goes on to include his order of battle.  He then creates his army list filled with named characters and units and comes in just under 2000 points.
