Conqueror Dwarf Crossbows and bows now available
« on: March 30, 2018, 10:45:54 AM »
Good morning everyone

Conquerormodels Dwarf range now have crossbows and bows added!

https://conquerormodels.com

There is also an interesting Dwarven Golem, which I imagine could be used for a bunch of different things.

If I ever go 28mm fantasy I think these would very appealing but that’s just my opinion of course :)

Happy Friday!

I always regretted not getting some of the Vendel dwarves.  It's great to see them virtually reproduced again.  I think I will wait for dwarves wielding one handed axes/hammers and with shields.  My only complaint is the beards are too short.

I can only recommend this range  :-*
I painted quite a few when they were released the first time, and I am really tempted to add some of these newer ones  ;)

How do they size with GW LotR Dwarves, please?

I like the looks/style on these!

Wargame News and Terrain did a review of the spearmen with some comparison shots.

I’m quite tempted by these models as well. I saw that Sgt Major was selling their ranges, so hopefully someone will pick up the old Vendel dwarfs and start selling them again as well.

I have no plans that involve using dwarfs like these. And that is disappointing. They are beautiful sculpts and I desperately want to find an excuse to buy & paint some.  ;D

Jumped in and ordered some warriors with two-handed weapons and with bows. Put off ordering these too often, had to go for it.

Good to know that the range is expanding as, for me, this is the perfect LotR Dwarven range.

They certainly look the part, don't they?

And with my take on basing slotta-minis, Gimli would gain a couple of millimeters on those spearmen, making the difference negligible (I razor-saw half the slotta-tab away, glue the mini to a washer by the remaining tab, an build the base up around the tab with filler).

I purchased a bunch of these, the command group, spearmen (well dwarves), and ones with two-hand axes. I quite like them, they are taller than my LoTR dwarves to be sure, but there's the tab under foot to factor in. So a bit tall dwarves if you use them with Gimli etc, but not too bad. You can reduce the difference by cutting the tab or similar, and painted up the difference won't leap at your face, I think?

They came with separate weapons and shields, and the spearmen poses are using the spear one-handed, so it's real easy to make a simple weapons swap and the poses still look good with one-hand weapons. Swords and Axes work nice here, I intend to use mostly other weapons than spears. Of course they released the bow/x-bow units right after my order... lol

The only downside for me was, that they only sell them in whole units of 8/16 (I think), so I got more dwarves I really wanted or needed. But the prices aren't bad either. About the beards, ok they're not long and flowing, but that's only practical with chain mail you know?
