Brokk Grungsson, a.k.a balloon guy

[Jim R]

He/she/it is striking. You've done a great job detail painting. Well done sir.

[JR]

Brilliant painting Andy.

nice work.
these warhammer figures going back to the early 80’s were lifted wholesale from Lord of the Rings and D&D, since then they have gradually evolved and become whackier and more distinct to give them a protectable IP. then they also started Warhammer 40K and transplanted the whole lot to space.

Andy,
Beautifully done.

Thank you all very much for your great comments, although it seems I've been remiss and should have included a bit of detail about the chap.

As mentioned it is a Citadel / Warhammer gaming figure, from their Age of Sigmar range. Dolled up in power armour, suspended from a balloon shaped flying thing.

It was a great little break from my diorama build and I'm sure I could have done even better if I'd given him more time but I'm happy enough.

If you really want to know more about him and have some time to kill, here's the full lore from the Games Workshop page:

Brokk Grungsson exemplifies the self-made Kharadron Overlord privateer. He is rapacious in the hunt for aether-gold, and daring in his explorations of the skybound wonders of Chamon. Brokk Grungsson is the only Admiral that has successfully led a fleet around the Spire, the fabled Horn of Chamon. Some Kharadron would be satisfied having achieved such honours, but Brokk Grungsson strives on, hungry for ever-more success and recognition – his natural aeronautical abilities and aggressive nature mean these successes are rarely far from his grasp.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble Brokk Grungsson, Lord-Magnate of Barak-Nar. Borne aloft in an elaborate, custom-made dirigible suit, he’s armed with a sizable cannon known as Grungsson’s Boast, a multi-barrelled gun called the Magnate’s Charter and an aethermatic saw for close combat. He also features aetherblasters mounted in his impressive moustache; such is the opulence his status brings!

The suit itself is covered in the kind of pipes, valves, cogs and latticework you’d expect for a duardin able to pay for the finest things in war, even including a custom filtration system and powered assistance for his limbs. Brokk Grungsson is a powerful duardin, and before his enemies die, he wants them to know it...

Means absolutely nothing to me :smiling5:

Top work andy , mental subject though ! My son went through a phase of doing the warhammer stuff a good few years ago , the figures and kits were always impressively detailed , i seem to remember he did a space marine on a motorbike that looked really cool - I like to try the occasional figure so might have to look out for one now youve tickled my fancy ! cheers tony

Thanks Andy. A bit of a random subject for sure!

My first warhammer attempt was one of those futuristic hells angels Tony. Looking back there's loads I would do differently but at least it proves I've progressed :smiling3:
