The legendary Grombrindal returns with a new AoS miniature for the 500th issue of White Dwarf to smash some Greenskins!

White Dwarf has been running since the late 70s (with some gaps throughout), but getting to 500 of any magazine is a serious deal! It’s cool to see Grombrindal getting another model, and this one looks quite amazing. Whether you play Dwarfs or not, this might be worth just grabbing for the collection and painting up.

A New AoS Grombrindal Miniature Returns Alongside White Dwarf 500!

Here is the latest about the new White Dwarf miniature from Warhammer Community.

A lot has happened since that first issue, but one thing has remained eternal: the name. To celebrate 500 issues of White Dwarf, we’re releasing a celebratory new miniature of the alabaster-bearded ancestor himself, Grombrindal.

The White Dwarf is something of a legend. In the Mortal Realms, he is said to be the physical manifestation of an archetype, forged into flesh and blood by Grungni himself, a hero who appears to lead the duardin in their most desperate moments.

He’s got quite a glorious beard, and when the Dwarfs need him the most, he appears! This time, he’s ready to fight and isn’t drinking too much grog.

This miniature depicts Grombrindal in action, bedecked in duardin accessories – including Kharadron Overlord and Fyreslayer ornaments – as he stands triumphantly on an outcropping of rock surrounded by the discarded armaments of his enemies.

Grombrindal dons many guises when appearing to his people – be that the wise and witty elder statesman, the grim and stalwart protector, or the fearsome warrior-king. He is whatever his people need him to be when the chips are down, and action must be taken – which is quite often, given how violent and unpredictable life is in the Mortal Realms.

Since he has both Kharadron and Fyreslayer bits, we expect you can use him for either army. Even though he comes with a round base, he would also be a fun pickup for the Old World and used as a lord.

Previous White Dwarf Miniatures

Over the years, Grombindal has been seen in many different getups, including wearing power armour to birthday parties, moonlighting as a Tech-Priest with a mechadendrite beard, playing a spot of Blood Bowl, and even trying his hand at a number of odd jobs such as Director, Pirate, Aviator, or Witch Hunter. Quite the impressive resumé.

Many great miniatures have been made for him throughout the years, so if you have any of these commemorative models, you may want to invest in this celebratory one for your collection, too.

White Dwarf 500

This Grombrindal miniature will be released alongside White Dwarf 500 next month and will be available for a limited time only. What’s more, he will receive Legends rules for use in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, alongside rules for Cursed City, Warcry, and Warhammer Underworlds. There will also be a selection of special battle plans and scenarios in the magazine, so it looks like his list of jobs is about to get a little longer…

Getting rules for him is always fun, but you can also proxy him as a lord of some kind when 4th Edition AoS drops. As expected, it will also be a limited release, so let’s hope they make enough.

The release of the new Grombrindal miniature is a great way to celebrate the longevity of White Dwarf. The miniature looks great and should be a fun addition to almost any Warhammer collection out there!
