Grombrindal, the White Dwarf

WHFB

Small update again this week, with another model for my dwarfs! This time we have the White Dwarf himself, Grombrindal!

This is a pretty fun model, with his helmet serving as an impromptu ale flask, and quite the expression fixed on his face. This is one of the many Grombrindal models released over the years, of which I have a couple more. This one is one of the more useable in regular games of Warhammer however, being a single model on foot rather than a mini scene. I’ll use him as a Thane in the campaign games, and will have to look around see if they ever made any rules to represent the actual character in games!

I’d never seen the back of this model before and the large mullet I found there was quite the discovery!

This was a bit of a speed paint as it was done over the course of a single day, but I’m pretty happy with how he turned out and he’s happily sitting next to the rest of my dwarfs in the cabinet.

I’ve now had a nice little break from blocks of infantry, with the last few posts focussing on terrain and characters, but break over and I’m back to painting ranked models!

  1. I love this miniature so much. Something about the way the hair and beard are sculpted and the thick and chunky nature of the miniature itself is just delightful. Lovely paint job, I especially like the leather and the gemstones!

    1. Thanks a lot! It does have a ton of character and that hair is just wild. I’m getting a bit lazy with leather, this is just two coats of Snakebite Leather contrast. There’s a few things the contrasts do really well, and that worn leather look is one of those, so I can’t resist the time savings!

  2. Of course the White Dwarf has some party in the back 😀 I think this is a great sculpt and I love the expression he has. You did a great job painting it up of course too. It does make me wish for more regular dwarves from GW. I’m sure I’ve bemoaned this before but we need some new fantasy dwarf sculpts and I’m not talking about the Space Dwarves in 40k either!

    1. Thanks Jeff! I’m all for more dwarfs! Interested to see what pops out of old world in that respect although I presume initially at least it’ll just be re-releases of old models. I’m very short on the more esoteric war machines for the army so hopefully they get accessible soon!
