WBRBloom Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Disclaimer: This is not a promotion, paid or otherwise. So, there is this Instagram fella, who makes 30k sculpts of models, that pay homage to the 90s style miniatures. His tagline, on his account, is "Creating the Siege of Terra in the 90s aesthetic', under the name 'Oldhammer 30k'. I have a VERY soft spot for 90s models, especially metal ones. If that wasn't evident by my recent activity during the 'Call to Arms 2026, let it be known that I love to lick brushes and file down white metal miniatures under fluorescent lights. Recently, I was made aware of a project he started, which was to cast his sculpts in white metal, specifically his PRIMARCH models, and selling them. The endeavour started with the first three, Lion El'Johnson, Sanguinius and Roboute Guilliman. I was lucky enough to get my hands on all three and once Abaddon is finished, I'll start on these (along with other projects, oh god, why do I keep doing this to myself?). As I understand it, his intentions are to cast all 18, with next two in line being Perturabo and Rogal Dorn. The quality of the casts is amazing. I was not expecting to see this: no mould lines, no miscasts, nothing. A thousand times better than the best GW metal miniature I've ever seen. The aesthetic is brilliant. If I saw these inside an A or a D blister, it wouldn't feel out of place. Feast your eyes on this old school goodness: I understand that this is going to be a side project, so I might not have the time needed to work on it frequently. However, because I know I'm like that possum that found his way into the pastry shop and ate so much that it couldn't move, let alone fit through the hole that came in, I know that I'm going to start working on these as soon as I possibly can. 5 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388647-wbrblooms-primarch-shenanigans-an-oldhammer-30k-project/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBRBloom Posted Sunday at 02:32 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:32 PM Thanks guys, I really mean it! Well, I'll better get on with it then! I'll try to finish Abaddon tonight and start contemplating what kind of bases, or maybe plinths, I'll give these guys. I really wish that Oldhammer30k would make the full 18 primarchs, as I would LOVE to collect and paint all of them.

oldhammer30k Posted Sunday at 05:58 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:58 PM Hello! It's me, Oldhammer30k. I registered to follow along with this project and to answer any questions anyone has. First off, I have made most of the Primarchs digitally, just Khan really that needs finishing now. I am preparing 3 more for metal casting (Russ, Dorn and Perturabo) and do plan on doing a casting run on all 18 eventually. I also plan to make my own versions of the Emperor and Horus akin Mike McVey's famous diorama. And Daemon and non Daemon versions of the big 4 (Magnus, Mortarion, Angron and Fulgrim). 3 2 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388647-wbrblooms-primarch-shenanigans-an-oldhammer-30k-project/#findComment-6191186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago They're great. Man... I really shouldn't have seen this. The spirit of Oldhammer is definitely here. I have to confess that after just looking at the minis, I thought to myself "well, that's odd - I've never seen these." Now I know why. The creator has excellent taste and the necessary skills to capture the 90s vibes. I'm sure they'll be a blast to paint and I know that they're in competent hands. Have fun and keep us posted. 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388647-wbrblooms-primarch-shenanigans-an-oldhammer-30k-project/#findComment-6191384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
