FANTASTIC! The Little Guys (as I remember them they were quite small miniatures) painted up WONDERFULLY...I had no idea that they could be such BEAUTIFUL pieces. Your brushwork & choice of colors are OUTSTANDING. VERY WELL DONE!

Damn me, but that is a fine job.  Well done!

I just gave away an unpainted army of those in Fall of 2016.  Excellent work!

I agree - they look really sharp.

Bloody gorgeous brushwork on some great classic sculpts.

All of the above. Makes me wish I'd invested in an army of them back in the day...

Snip...  (as I remember them they were quite small miniatures)... snip

 lol. The reason I gave an army away was they were too big compared to my other dwarf army from the 1970s!  Perspectives I guess. 

Again that is an outstanding paint job.  Do you do 15/18mm too?

Ral Partha Europe still sell many of them under the "Ral Partha Fantasy" heading.

Really beautiful work, I like all the variation in beard colour against their uniforms.

Aye, not as large as the modern dwarf.  I'm thinking of these as more a Gnomish Legion ;)

The figs are a old RP, many of which are still available from the guys at Ral Partha Europe
 (great company) - but there are also 2 boxes of the 'Iron Lords Orc Foes Of Earth Fast' set included in this collection (yeah, it's mine) which where somewhat harder to get hold of.

Fantastic job Zed, these beauties are stunning :D

Now that my big box of dwarves has arrived, I can confirm these guys look even better in the flesh.

Fantastic paint.  You really brought those sculpts to life.
