Soooooo starting a new armband and having heard of the dwarfs lust for all things gold thought that they would be quite at home skulking about the frosted ruins 'on the rob'

Tried converted a treasure hunter to get the feel of it

But which school? Was thinking elementalist would give off the right vibe

Anyone else thinking along these lines
Cheers all

He looks great! In fact, I am tempted to head up to my hobby bench and make a copy for myself...

I could see an Enchanter working nicely as a rune priest/artificier type.

That treasure hunter is a great character!

I agree with Ogrob that a dwarf would work well as an Enchanter; that is the school that comes to my mind most readily when I think of dwarves (them being good at making stuff). I could also see a dwarf Wizard as a particularly fierce priest, so maybe a Thaumaturge? Or perhaps a former advisor to a dwarf king, perhaps a Soothsayer?

Having said that, wizards are often considered odd or eccentric even by their own kind, so your magic user does not have to be typical dwarf. He or she might have an undwarvish interest in wildlife and plants outside caves and tunnels (so may be a Witch) or perhaps they have learned how to summon creatures from other planes in a way that unsettles other dwarves, but which is tolerated so long as the gold keeps coming (Summoner). In short, the world is your oyster!

Keep us updated as your band progresses!

+1 for enchanter

or maybe a sigilist if your dwarves like runes.

Next up WIP for the infantry man

Guess what I found at the bottom of the bits box
This little piggy

Counts as warhound ?
Haven't used a warhound yet. Any tips issues?

Nice work

beautifuly painted! Did you greenstuff the fur around the neck to blend in the cape?

Also frostgrave is very easygoing about miniatures so that piggy can most definitely be a warhound!

I went for a mix of oathmark and reaper for my dwarf warband, plus a warcat.

Randwulf - now that's a warband...Ooh a cute little kitty...argh!
Great looking crew.

Scatterbrains yep green stuff. Probably use it on them all unifying thing and all

Cheers all

Cool warband. Piggy is cool, too.

randwulf · « **Reply #12 on:** February 13, 2020, 11:32:11 AM »

I really like the idea of a board/pig as a warhound for dwarves. However it is fun to see Mr Tiddles, the warcat, take down a Knight

Hammers · « **Reply #13 on:** February 13, 2020, 11:44:05 AM »

That's a great looking mini there. Conversion from what?

Chimpfoot · « **Reply #14 on:** February 13, 2020, 12:59:00 PM »

Oathmark dwarf body
Oathmark human head
Fireforge north men cavalry arms dagger and pouch
Fireforge knights cloak
Dab of greenstuf for some fur collar embellishments
Job's a good un
Thanks for the comments
