The complete history of Grom

[weazil]

Due to a sudden and catastrophic loss of interest in work, I thought I'd post some pictures. I'm sure you'll have seen these before, but the forum has run long enough now that maybe some of you haven't.

Anyway, I have a long running (but healthy, Chico!) fascination with Grom, as you can see:

Pre-slotta:

1985:

1992:

Pimp My Grom:

And the whole family, all spending some quality time together:

If you're really, really interested, you can see more about him up on the blog.

I do wonder, however, that when they decide to release his next incarnation in finecast, whether or not I'll be able to afford him to continue the history...

Perry, Adams...Adams?

 

[Chico]

Fantastic, always loved Grom in a not so healthy way

 

[Just John]

From Grom the Paunch to Grom the Nasty to Grom the Fat Belly to Grom the Corpulent Toad with Teeth. I might not like the last two figures but I can appreciate good painting. Nice stuff

 

[zedmeister]

Indeed, nice gritty colour scheme as well. Inspires me to paint up some old '87 Kev Adams goblins...

You just need the unreleased Grom to complete the bunch!

Nice little collection

You see gaj, there's always one of us to tell you you haven't got enough Grom.

Said it before, but they're great!

FFS! There's another one?! Can anyone shed any light on this unreleased Grom? Mr Casey?

Cheers to everyone for the love - the Groms appreciate it muchly!

Here's the fella:

I've seen him on ebay a suspicious number of times - there's probably a fair few recasts floating around.

Is it just Citadel Groms you like, or fat goblin kings in general? Because Avatars of War have a nice fat goblin king too

 

[Just John]

Here he is

 

[phreedh]

Fairly obvious why it's unreleased. =D Ugly as sin, it is!

 

[weazil]

Too right - that is one ugly SOB. Not feeling compelled to 'complete' the collection - clearly the unreleased one was just some tragic mistake.

Ah, someone beat me to it Of course, you also need the various relevant musicians, champions and standard bearers...

And don't forget a nice regiment of troopers to go with each set

 

[Thantsants]

Got myself a nice sized 2nd ed. Grom regiment

Never seen the unreleased chap either but I'm in agreement with you lot!

Nice work as ever Gaj

The unreleased Grom looks a bit like the chin wobbling goblin king from the first Hobbit film. As for how ugly he is - goblins are meant to be ugly, aren't they?
