For smaller gnomes, I wonder if some 15mm minis could work or possibly better something in 1:72/ 20mm (Ceasar has some placcy dwarves, scroll down a bit: http://www.miniknight.com/caesar.htm). Not sure how small you want them to be though.

There's also the old Grenadier plastic dwarves (http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Copy_of_Fantasy.html), not sure how big they are though.

Hi, i think they are probably too small for what i'm thinking. I've ordered a box of Kings of war dwarves to se if I can use thier legs + greens stuff an more night goblin legs to make some more... cultured... type of gnomes (or at least non-beserker type).

Very cool stuff here! I love the gnome conversions. What parts did you use?

Cheers, the legs, torso and arms are from Avatars of War (Dwarf Beserkers), the head is from the GW OOP night goblins with a beard from the OOP Dwarf warrior boxed set.
Other bits include the weapons heads from the current GW dwarf warriors (or thunderers, can't remember which) musician's horn and a cloak carved from a GW chaos warror, the other bit of cloak was from m bits box, origin I can't remember.

Ah, cool. Thanks, I thought I recognized some the parts. You've done an excellent job of combining the gobbo and dwarf heads together.

Sorry to anyone expecting pictures, this is not a picture update.
I need some help coming up with ideas for the Gnome warband list here is what I have so far:

Blood Gnomes   
3-15    members
No   Type
Heroes
1   Blackcap (leader)
0-1   Bloodcap Champion
0-1   Madcap (Mage)
0-2   ?????
Henchmen
Unlimited   Bloodcap Warriors
0-6   Spore hunters (the mushroom guys (converted to have ranged weapons))
0-3   Bloodcap Beserkers
Minions
?????
Monsters
?????

I have no idea what minions (non-experience gaining creatures (like warhounds, skeletons)) or Monsters to give them so any thoughts (on both list entries and models) would be great please

The Gnomes are definitely my favorites; now those are proper noses. SPLENDID WORK!

Well while I finish up another couple of conversions for hopefully the end of this weekend, I would really like some thoughts on my proposals for scenario generation and thoughts on a Warband recruitment type table thingy, feel free to coment here or on my blog, but the images are on my blog (because it's easier that way).

You can find the post in question here: http://maxxev.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/modheim-city-of-legends.html

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Cheers.

Inspired by a thread over on ATT (Tau forum) MANY years ago.... I finally got around to making my own:

I present one MATO. As per usual, more angles and a link to the creator on my Blog.

Oh wow! is that some kind of crab thing?

Bascially yes, that is pretty much what i'm calling it. a Crab thingy. But the original creator called them "Mato", so that's what i'll call them too.
