Warhammer: A Fistful of Grombrindal – Meet the Original White Dwarf
The original White Dwarf and his miniatures have been walking the pathways of Warhammer for over 40 years. Take a look.
White Dwarf is old, kicking off in 1977, and still going strong. But White Dwarf has a namesake – Grombrindal the original White Dwarf, and his trusty sidekick (nemesis, a partner in crime?) the Black Gobbo. Over the decades he’s trundled everywhere from the Warhammer Old World, to the Grimdark, and even the Mortal Realms.
In the beginning…
Today we wanted to take a stroll down memory lane to appreciate some of his special edition miniatures over the years.
We will start with the latest ones, and go back…
Ad Mech Grombrindal – 2019 – Leagues of Votann, hiding in plain sight perhaps …on Mars!
40th Anniversary Grombrindal – 2017 – He’s got (Primaris) power armor, all the presents, and a giant cake.
Fyreslayer Grombrindal – 2016 – Hello Age of Sigmar! He’s hit the gym and who needs shirts?
Previous Incarnations:
We don’t have exact dates on these, but they are fantastic! Back then Grombrindal was into a lot of different careers.
Blood Bowl Grombrindal – Forge World sent the White Dwarf into the world of sport.
Vampire-hunter Grombrindal – Heck send this guy right over into Cursed City – ITS ALIVE!!!
Pirate Grombrindal – Extra points for parrot-tricorn. Probably off to Lustria, or the Vampire-coast.
Aviator Grombrindal – Someone had to test out all those Dwarf aircraft. I bet he’d fit in just great with the Kharadon Overlords.
Director Grombrindal – Maybe now we know who’s been behind all those recent WARHAMMER+ animations?
Squat Grombrindal – Pretty on the nose on this one. Certainly not a member of the Mechanicus. His gear is way to hard tech and not a candle in sight. A very early Leagues of Votann easter egg perhaps?
Classic Grombrindal – He’s a fat Dwarf king with a White Beard. Old-school.
Super Old School…
Now we are headed, way, way back decades, to the very early days of Warhammer Fantasy. Everyone has to start somewhere!
Pre beard-braids!
Which one is your favorite?
