Jakkob Bugmansson XI: Brewmaster-General

The Holidays seem to upon us, and dear old GW has released a limited edition model for the Kharadron Overlords, Jakkob Bugmansson XI: Brewmaster-General. (LINK)

The fluff reads as follows:

The duardin. The myth. The legend. In times long past, the name of Bugman was a byword for quality amongst the people of the world-that-was, a brewsmith capable of producing the very best beverages the dwarves had to offer. Now, in the Age of Sigmar, another has risen to take his mantle – the Kharadron known as Jakkob Bugmansson XI!

This is obvious meant to tug on those nostalgia strings. Bugman is one of (if not the) oldest model in the Warhammer Fantasy line. However, since I have no allegiance to the Old World, I'm not necessarily impressed by the lore. 

What I am impressed by is the sculpt. There doesn't seem to be a War Scroll for this fellow yet (though one can hope). He comes on a 32mm base which works well for proxying him for an Aether-Khemist, Endrinmaster, or Aetheric Navigator. The idea of a drunk navigator sounds amazingly dorfy to me, but we'll see what is needed when we finally get the Chonky Bois to the table.
