Hey readers !
2023 finished with a sad new. As lot of WHFB Oldschool fans already know, Bryan Ansell one of the chief architects of Warhammer franchise who helped to turn Games Workshop into a Juggernaut. Has died, he was 68.
Realm of Chaos books were considered as Bryan’s minions, so my current work
make me feel as an humble contributor of his memory. Be a creative hobbyist and
a passionate painter of Chaos models is my best way to celebrate his huge legacy.In this new
post, I focused on Elite troops and Characters. I mixed Minotaurs bodies with
bloothirster heads, this simple combo represent Khornate minotaurs aspiring to
reach Greater Demon legion rank. The Chaos portal is another combo between an
old Scotia Grendel model and 3d print Khorne icon I redesigned. The Keeper of
the gate is a small conversion of Epic Angron Primark. To finish, the
Characters come from the Behemoth Pantheon of Chaos page (link), pretty cheaper
for those metal chunks! I slightly extended the K’Thul’s wings. Next post, a tremendous Khornate Dragon Ogre.
Ancestral Recall!
I met once Bryan during the first Oldhammer Day in 2013 at Nottingham. He came from nowhere and join the gaming table I ran with Paul, we had a gentle chat regarding the creation of the plastic trays for the Bryan's Chaos/Heroes models boxes era. I remember how he spoke in his beard (dans sa barbe, in french), not so easy to understand for a 'non' native but very funny discussion. Huge respect for him!
