Title: Velard Space Dwarfs
Post by: Inso on September 21, 2011, 05:36:53 PM

I just picked up some rather nice Space Dwarfs from E-Bay:

Very nicely cast and about £13-00 for the five of them (including postage from Russia).

They are from Velard Miniatures and I think that they are operating under the search lights by posting occasional auctions on E-Bay.  I remember a while back there appeared to be IP issues with some of their stuff and everything went quiet.  They had some fantastic Victorian Dwarfs who were extremely characterful and overly round...

...Definitely worth a look though :)

IP with what? GW aren't the only ones with dwarfs in space (not that they have them now) and the squat(ish) look of them can hardly be copyrighted.

I don't know to be honest...but these weren't the only miniatures they had.  I seem to remember perfect replicas of melta and plasmaguns though...

They have lots of very nice and very close to the wind GWesque stuff too a lovely resin vehicle if memory serves and some adeptus custodes too.
