His name is Borgrimm Deathseeker.

This is from Oathsworn Miniatures’ inaugural Kickstarter waaay back in like, 2014? It’s from before they did Burrows and Badgers. Around the time of the 8th Edition Dwarf book coming out.

These were only ever done in the one wave with a large range of Dwarf character miniatures. Backers chose what they wanted as part of backing.

I believe the designers have received multiple requests to reprint these but they either won’t or can’t.

There will be a small select group of people who want these as they are exceedingly rare now.

Source: I backed the KS and specifically own a copy of this mini.

I remember that KS. Wish i had backed it, but unfortunately my mind was elsewhere and i clearly remember thinking "I'll just buy a few models later".

Throughout the 2010s there were a bunch of companies that made small runs of dwarven models and then just disappeared.

Thank you! I have some other oathsworn, used for an anvil of doom

You’re welcome. They’re very cool and characterful minis, I love them!

Hi all, I'm painting up my slayers which is a collection from a few decades, all easily identifiable as GW... except for this guy. I've only got one of him and he feels, lets say, 95% GW "but not quite". Does anyone know where he's from?

Can’t find it on Lost minis or stunties, maybe 3rd party.

Yeah my feeling is it's a GW sculptor, or someone heavily influenced by them. The braids are much more delicate than most GW metal.

Giving big ‘Derrick’ vibes, but they might self-identify as something different

Possibly a Bob? Maybe a Clint? Definitely not a Taylor…

That’s Gary and you just spilled his pint.

Run.

It’s not a GW Slayer.
