Title: Dwarf warband ideas
Post by: Chimpfoot on 11 February 2020, 10:20:19 PM: 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

(http://)

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

Anyone else thinking along these lines
Cheers all

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

Post by: Bearwoodman on 11 February 2020, 11:59:17 PM: 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!

or maybe a sigilist if your dwarves like runes.

Title: Re: Dwarf warband ideas
Post by: scatterbrains on 13 February 2020, 12:26:06 AM: 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!
Title: Re: Dwarf warband ideas
Post by: randwulf on 13 February 2020, 06:45:31 AM: I went for a mix of oathmark and reaper for my dwarf warband, plus a warcat.
Title: Re: Dwarf warband ideas
Post by: Chimpfoot on 13 February 2020, 07:43:26 AM: Randwulf - now that's a warband...Ooh a cute little kitty...argh!

Post by: Tungdil on 13 February 2020, 11:26:23 AM: Cool warband. Piggy is cool, too.
Title: Re: Dwarf warband ideas
Post by: randwulf on 13 February 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
Title: Re: Dwarf warband ideas
Post by: Hammers on 13 February 2020, 11:44:05 AM: That's a great looking mini there. Conversion from what?

For the archer, I would vote bow if it's not too late.

Title: Re: Dwarf warband ideas
Post by: Chimpfoot on 27 April 2020, 10:20:42 AM: Finally.
What with everything else going on just managed to finish this Warband project with the completion of the archer.
Just the seven members as it will mostly be for solo play at the moment.
Anyway hope it was worth the wait

Title: Re: Dwarf warband ideas
Post by: Braz on 27 April 2020, 02:42:36 PM: Great warband! When you said just seven members I naturally looked for Snow White :D
