Grimm:  my entire dwarf army is currently made of the Conqueror Model dwarfs.  They are an absolute blast to paint.  I still have plans to continue to expand the army further.
Same sculptor so that is a good thing there.
Coincidencly, the Vendel range saved by SSG was saved from SSG and released.
Someone on a forum somewhere was asking about the Vendel range, couple weeks later the announcement.
I just cant fir ge life of me remember where I say the query.

But your dwarves are damn ssxy.

Everything here is tops, the choice of minis, the painting, the atmosphere of the games.  :)

Thanks everyone, I haven’t had much time to work on the project lately.  I do have another box of orcs I’ve almost completed and I have received two boxes and the command figures of the humans from North Star.  Now just need to find some time!

I had commented that it was a pity the Dwarves had short beards, but I could be completely wrong.
Messing around doing nothing particularly useful I found a Tolkien Wiki page that mentioned some notes from one of the History of Middle Earth volumes.
It states that there were several groupings of Dwarves: Longbeards (Durin's house and , I suppose, possibly others), Broadbeams and Firebeards.  So possibly some Dwarves did have shorter beards.

Finally getting back into painting, been busy with work with long days.  Anyways, finished up a second box of orcs!  Standards are skulls from GW’s skull box. 







Started on some humans.  Did the champion as a test for the color scheme.

Yup, those orcs look great. The red and mustardy clothing works really well.

I agree- they really remind me of the Tolkien-inspired 1970's illustrations of Orcs .

Finally finished up some of the Oathmark humans. I really like the plastic kit and have another one that I plan to do some different conversions.
