Title: The Assault Groups Dwarves - Kettle Drummer WIP - 4th September
Post by: The Dozing Dragon on 28 June 2016, 11:42:24 AM
Having great fun with these guys....in theory to go with the steam cannon in earlier posts (link here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=87738.0)) which will (maybe) get painted one day.....only finished 3 so far, 2 cavalry and a barmaid (which I've promised to a friend).

Oh, these guys are cool. Where did you get the pony riders? WK Imperium, perhaps?

WK has partnered up with The Assault Group now for them and they're available on the link below;

Any idea about comparison scale with human size and other dwarfs manufacturers 

 ??? ???

Your dwarfs are looking great. They have inspired me to start working on mine from the TAG Kickstarter.

Finished another barring varnish and started on the banner for the knight......White Knight has made a good suggestion of a border on the banner (I've never really done banners or flags embarrassingly enough) so I will attempt to progress with that.

I found that White Knight's Dwarves, like the original Marauder's, were an ABSOLUTE JOY to paint. From the SPLENDID results of your brushwork, I would say you had a similar reaction. VERY WELL DONE!

An alternative suggestion, if a border seems too complicate at this stage, might be to make a vertical division line and paint the right side of the banner a different colour.  :)

Like this, but rotated:

Thanks all. I'm going for the border I think but am undecided on what to try......Celtic Knot would be interesting but I'd have to use a printout or transfer! More than likely it'll be blue or gold....maybe add some tassles to the underside of the flag pole top thingy (which probably has a name  :D )

After a long hiatus due to children being off school, social anxiety issues and spending time looking after my mum I have returned to the maelstrom.....2 new (very comfortable) settees in the front room mean that miniatures have been relegated to the back (dining) room.....very little space for anything, however I've got the painting table in a reasonably accessible corner with the luxury of the dining table to my left and an empty mantelpiece shelf to my right......the heights of luxury.......a few more details on my blog - http://deartonyblair.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/the-assault-group-dwarves-kettle.html (http://deartonyblair.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/the-assault-group-dwarves-kettle.html)
