Great painting there (love the chequered quilting on the guy swinging the axe, and the chap with the fancy beard and the cat on his chest looks awesome), and nice to see some old school minis too - I have the Sage or Elder or whatever he's called, the old Dwarf with the walking stick, but he doesn't look as nice as yours (by a long way).

I really love the scenery too - any chance of a wider shot?

Really awesome.

Really not my style, attempting to get down to Der Kriespieler stuff and early Ral Partha as much as possible.

Other then a  few Gyrocopters ands  Ornithopters...

These are very fun looking miniatures.  Good work.  I'd not hesitate to play with those on the tabletop any day.

Gracias,

Glenn

RESPECT!!!!!!!!!  :o
the houses are so FAT.
how long you need to built them?

if i see that, i become jealous of you.  ;)


if you don't play with the buildings, where do you
store them? only in a cupboard or have you a box
for them?
i ask because they rather big and in my experience its
one of the greatest problems to store buildings and other
stuff.

Sorry for the late answer!

Thanks! It took me and my children about 4 days to build them all 7 from scratch.
Thanks to my children who did the roughcast and the scissor work on the rooftiles, I had only to do glueing and painting.

I have a quite stuffed basement room with several cupboards for storage purposes. There I also do painting and scratchbuilding.

Nice village - I need my kids to hurry up and grow up if that's what is possible!

Oh and the dwarves are a good looking bunch too.

The one on the right; is that Snorri from Reaper?  I have him and compared to the rest of my dwarves he's flippin' huge.  Also, in his unpainted metal he reminds me irresistibly of Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments.

That is Snorri. I had the same size difference with Kragmarr from Reaper. He was quite a bit larger than most of my dwarves, the majority GW. I also got a Reaper dwarf from the Dark Havens(?) line that was tiny compared to GW, go figure.

Love the dwarves and buildings. What is the first pic, dwarf on the right?

Hi, Thanks for the kind words.

The mage on the right is a Wargames Foundry dwarf from this pack: http://wargamesfoundry.com/fantasy_ranges/single_packs/dwarves/any/lord_flashbeards_swashbuckler_dwarfs_sd001/?sector_id= (http://wargamesfoundry.com/fantasy_ranges/single_packs/dwarves/any/lord_flashbeards_swashbuckler_dwarfs_sd001/?sector_id=)
I bough him as part of a preview pack back in I think 2002.

 ;)
