Why do I Like Oldhammer and what even is Oldhammer?

I think for me with most oldhammery type stuff, it is the buy in factor, which in turn is influenced by the look/style. I want to believe the things I see, they should make sense and have a logical purpose. There needs to be internal consistency with any setting or the setting itself is not to be believed.  The Townscape buildings being a perfect example, I can very easily believe that people would build them: The fortified manor is just a bit too toy like and too high fantasy for me. This Skull Tower model; no chance: Yet this Skull Hill; yes: But why, they both have mad big skullz?! I think I like a feel of WFRP 1st edition to my WFB. WFRP really brought the world to life and I prefer that version to the WFB take on it. I find it to be more about context. Quality over quantity. The Skull Tower and The Skull Hill to me appear as two very different ideas, executed in two different styles. For me it comes down to buy in, if someone asked me to place the models ...

My next build will be a sacred grove/stone circle, so in readiness for that; a holy man. I did use a different flesh for this chap, which I am not sold on so will go back to my regular formula. Also I am still in my quick WECW painting mode it is not as good a paintjob as I would have liked, I will try and get back into my regular oldhammer painting style and get smoother work. Colour wise, not what I would have thought of, but I was stuck for ideas so just copied the colours from the official Talisman card
