An occasional thread about me trying to shoe horn some old grenadier dwarfs into an ongoing WHFB 5th edition campaign (and perhaps some other beardy goodness...)

Anvil of doom... because ... you know... i'd like to do something in the magic phase...




Gyrocopter.... because ... you know... 3" movement gets boring after about 30 seconds...




Apologies, the snow on the base is making the white balance in the camera difficult to manage....

And here are a few more units

Anvil...



GyroCopter ...



Organ gun (1 of 3)

CrossBows (1 of 2)




And a poor full army shot...

That is a superbly turned out army. The anvil scratchbuild is particularly good.

Yeah, a solid base of a 5th (woo) edition army already.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

twrchtrwyth - Hopefully that Anvil will give me a chance against your pesky necromancer for once.

I have a dozen or more bear riders and they will be coming, however I can't use them in WHFB so until I have all of the main units painted, They will have to wait.

I'm loving your choice for the main colour Brandlin, its very bold and unusual for Dwarves but it works.

Thank you for all the positive comments guys...

And the award for most unnecessarily complex battle standard goes to....




60mm square base - stands 170mm tall. No battle standard bearer yet, but you can see the recess at the front foe a 20mm square magnetised base...

The table and boulder with goblins sneaking up are part of the original Grenadier Dwarf generals set.  So i included them - the original banner comes with a dragon perched on the top - which is cool, but not in keeping with my army theme so it had to go.

Still no bear riders though ;-)

And yes, I really need to understand how to use my camera better...

That's a phenomenal battle standard! Loving the tails and ribbons on it! How did you manage to pull it off?

Keep up the great work on the project!
