I’m a grumpy old goat at the best of times (and I’m totally OK with that), so it takes a lot in this hobby for me to get giddy like a fanboi, but discovering this Kickstarter campaign on Tabletop Gaming News did exactly that. For those of you who are of the golden years of GW (around the time when 40K was Rogue trader and the 2 Chaos supplements didn’t cost you an arm and a leg), you should take a look at the Pantheons of Chaos project. As soon as I saw this I was hit by the nostalgiahammer pretty bloody hard. Not only because of the damn awesomeness of the minis, but because they’ve pretty much stepped out of the pages of those early tomes. Project master Diego Serrate Pinilla is very obviously a fan from the old days, and this project will appeal to all those other ‘old skool’ vets like us out there. The sculpts he and his team have shown on here are just bloody brilliant. It also helps that Tony Ackland who was responsible for a large portion of the art in those books is helping with the project, as well as Kev ‘Goblinmaster’ Adams and Tim Prow. I mean, seriously, Oldhammer!!!!! Go, take a look, revel in their magnificent glory, and by the gods SUPPORT! The project was fully funded in under 2 hours (what does that tell you?) but they still have 16 days left to go with plenty of stretch goals and other goodies in the works. I’m very happy I backed this, now I have to be patient and wait for them to arrive. That’s not going to be easy…
