I’m in love guys!

I’m in love with something that rekindled a flame in the deepest voids of my hobby heart – voids where I never believed such feelings could exist.

The something is the mighty Kindlefinger.

And no, I am not talking about my thumb flipping to the next page of beloved my Amazon device as I drift off to sleep. And if you were expecting some kind of cheirophilia (porn) content- sorry to disappoint you.

Kindlefinger is a model from the Warhammer Underworlds warband Ephilim’s Pandaemonium, a five-model Tzeentch daemon crew. Apart from that one model, that looks like the designer glued together the most random bitz and sprue leftovers he could find, the warband is fantastic – strange, yes, but in the best possible way.

And then there’s Kindlefinger

A walking hand. With fingers for fingers. Balancing a magical flame. An eye-in-a-mouth- or an anus with teeth – sits in the middle of the whole thing. There is a real “Aaahh!!! Real Monsters” vibe going on here.

So what made me fall in love with this… being?

Was it his characteristics? Double dodge and a 3/4 move. The guy clearly knows how to handle his body, or should I say, how to use his fingers . . .

Was it his attack profile? Certainly nothing to write home about – but an inspired Kindlefinger suddenly swings a veeeery long double-hammer. Tempting…

Maybe it’s the fact that Ephilim can resurrect him if necessary…

But honestly?

The real reason I love this model is that he’s a one-piece model. (Two if you count the base.).

He’s snap-fit. You don’t even need glue!

Oh, Kindlefinger. My hero in these desperate hobby times. Times where every minute of gaming or painting feels precious because life constantly tries to intervene. Times when work and family take themselves far too seriously.

In times like these – and with politics trying to make my lifestyle hobbies more complicated than they need to be, we need models like Kindlefinger!
