Title: Harlequin Dwarf army in progress Update 14 July 2014
Post by: Imp522 on 30 March 2014, 05:05:39 PM: So we all know Mr. Adams does some cracking greenskins, but he's not shabby doing their mortal enemies the dwarves either. Start of My Dwarf army using Harlequin/Black tree designs dwarves.

Post by: Spooktalker on 30 March 2014, 06:53:56 PM: I'm a big fan of these and would own more if Black Tree's casting quality was better. The painjobs are great and they look good in rank! There are so many different sculpts in the range I hope you have plans for another unit with mixed arms!

Post by: Imp522 on 30 March 2014, 07:53:17 PM: Thanks, they've been fun to paint up. I have 4 or 5 16 man units with mixed weapons to paint up, 1 crossbow and 1 bow to paint up and some assorted heroes( which will include some Kev Adams Heartbreaker dwarves) The majority of these I got recently when they had a 50% off sale and the quality wasn't to bad. Just a few minutes on each with the files.

Post by: DeafNala on 14 July 2014, 03:11:23 AM: These really are WONDERFUL units of charmingly personable little characters. Your painting style enhances the minis in a an OUTSTANDING manner. VERY WELL DONE!

AND a thanks for posting on a personal level. I checked the Black Tree listing on TMP. Lo & behold they have an American branch right here in Texas...well down in Amarillo, but in Texas nonetheless. SO all those wonderful Harlequin minis haven't disappeared forever...OH BABY!

Is this guy also Black Tree designs? (The one with the chopped-off head) I don't remember seeing it, but it is way cool, and I feel quite the urge to paint one up.

The dwarves are looking really good. The Black Tree range paints up very well. I have a couple sat on my desk as well.

Yes, it's in the Harlequin section of the catalogue, not the fantasy armies section. I have one too and it's quite possibly the best dwarf in the range IMO.

Neat. Found it! (http://www.blacktreedesign.com/europe/product.php?productid=24058&cat=2366&page=1).

Will definitely be picking one up. Its always great to see well-painted Harlequin miniatures, since the Black Tree site does a very poor job of showing them off, but a lot of them actually are genuinely great.

Post by: Dr. Kevin Moon III esq. on 14 July 2014, 05:46:34 PM: Good stuff, I've got a couple of these on the table myself - they mix flawlessly with the Heartbreaker ones from RPE if you need some more variety.

Post by: Jonas on 14 July 2014, 10:15:09 PM: Awesome. I should have gotten some of those ages ago. But they look so much better with your paintjob than on the BTD page.
