Title: Eskimo Dwarves?
Post by: B. Basiliscus on 18 November 2012, 05:16:14 PM

Alright, gents. It's that time again - I'm making great strides in my fantasy setting that no one knows about because I don't show off, and I'm in bad need of suitable figures to build ranks for future games and hobby purposes. So here's a list thread thing.

Who makes Inuit dwarves? Heavy fur wrappings, bone/ivory weapons, Tupilaq carvings, all that cool stuff.
I've seen a small few before, but I can't remember who did them.
Any and all help is appreciated, including conversion tips. Thanks a lot, and good hunting to ye!

 Not sure if you will have seen the Dwarves from the icy wastes or not.Here is a link to the Stunties site.They are right at the bottom of the page.They have snow shoes on too.Paul also has some dogs done to go with them.

I definitely like the first, third and last guy there, thanks!
Anymore?
I remember once seeing a company who had a line specialized in top quality tundra fantasy, including elves, humans, purplish orcs, and some dwarves too if I recall correctly. Does anyone know who that manufacturer was?

That's them alright! But jeesh, they sure do look different than how I remembered them.
My mind must have been transposing the orcish culture's clothes onto them.

I don't know if I can use them, sadly. Though that's not to say they don't look cool.
Thanks!


Ever searching for more, if anyone has leads for lead...

Slightly off-Piste (see what I did there?) but Alternative Armies do these Dwarves;

HA!
The one who's not overloaded with toys could very well work - I hadn't thought of using santa themed dwarves.
Good idea!

Anyone else dig up anything else?
