alternative Wilhelm Chaney

Post by Norse »

just picked up this mini on Ebay to use as WC on my Norse team... I'm so in love with him I just had to share him, can't believe I've never seen the mini before... shame the company is now out of business, their minis were lovely... :(

That is a nice mini, blows the current GW Wilhelm out of the water methinks. Saw on Pedro Ramos' Gallery that he's sculpted a Werewolf star player that's also a nice model that could be used as Mr Chaney too.

Perhaps a friendly independent company could look at buying the master?

I'm sorely tempted to reach out to them with a business proposition or two, but then I remember how difficult it is just to break even in the hobby "industry".

I miss the good parts of the mini business a lot. Working with artists and sculptors was awesome. The bad parts I don't miss at all! LOL

Yeah that guy is great, I remember considering him for an Ulf at one point and wishing they had done a second similar sculpt.

Shame to hear they went under, their stuff was lovely.

LOL, I bought two other minis by the same company to convert into Ulfs - bit of an experiment I think, especially as I'm not 100% sure on the scale, but with the right paint job they might be spot on..
