Hoping to illustrate all known Dwarf Miniatures
« on: May 17, 2009, 09:42:20 PM »
Hi to Everyone,
   Greetings: The Dwarves of the Lead Mountains bid you welcome!

At.......  www.stunties.com

We are seriously trying to illustrate examples of all Dwarves made
for gaming/roleplaying, from the earliest, up to the present day.

To try and give as much information as we can, to help collectors
and players, in their search for Dwarves.

Some Gnomes and Halflings are here too.

There are trade pages, for anyone interested.

A page where unidentified Dwarves can be scrutinized (but gently
please, There has already been one identified as "Kneehigh Smith of
25 Midget Lane, Lilliput ----not very kind at all!)

All Dwarves displayed reside at Stunties, and if anyone should need
an alternate view, or other info,  we could help.

We would be very grateful for any help in locating other Dwarves,
hiding out there in obscurity, and will buy or trade in order to
secure them.

For example; is there anyone with unknown Dwarves in their
collection ? As these strays could be of great interest to us, and
could serve to throw some light on forgotten brands of long ago.
Please tell us about them.

Could you help with letting us know who the sculptor was ? when they
were made ? if there are more ? etc, or if you have pics or an advert for
some not covered....... please help.

Finally enjoy.......... Boki Gromdal

Interesting project. I'd like to see more but your website asks for a password?

Yep! Same thing here, the link doesn’t work... Apparently we need a password to access the site… that’s odd  :?

A side devoted to dwarfs is a good idea, but what are stunties? ;)

A good question ?    The term 'stunties' was and is used by some gamers/collectors as a derogatory name for Dwarves...... mostly by officiado's of green skinned, foul smelling, genetically challenged uglies....  or  '*^&$**!^&*'s  as they are known to our lads.  :o)
   We (the Dwarves at Stunties) however feel that it's basically true, we are smaller, there is no getting away from the fact, so we have embraced the name,
and have adopted it as an term for all the vertically challenged races. So now, when the greenies sneer 'stunties'  we laugh in their faces, pick up our axes and
show them, small as we are, that we are a seriously big problem for them.......    Boki

Well, there are far too many lanky gits around like Elves, Numenoreans etc, so a site purely for Dwarf minis is a great idea  :D

Good explanation. Btw, count me in if you're talking about 'we'. I'm a dwarf at heart and always will be.

I tried to locate the special edition Thorgrim Branadim (spelling???) from the first Warhammer Boexed edition. However over 50% of the pictures are only white blanks for me... Is it under Citadel miniatures?

Nice site (even if they are all midgets).
When I was a child (in what my son refers to as the time of horses and carts) I had a host of these guys http://www.stunties.com/wiki/index.php/Minifigs_-_Mythical_Earth
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

We Dwarves of the Lead mountains, still only have horses and carts (small ones)  and the odd steam tank of course, but perhaps in the dim memory of your illustrious Dwarven past,  would you perhaps remember with the M10 - 2 mounted hobbits set. What it consisted of in total ?   have you still got any, or pics perhaps ?    I have 2 hobbits riders who rode in, sharing the same horse, but have yet to confirm their identity ?
           So over to you,  please...........  oh, and a bit less of the M word in future, the lads are scribbling away in a big book if that means anything to you ??
               lol  Boki

Sorry about the M word! Being over 6 foot I tend to look down alot!

I don't think I had the mounted hobbits - I certainly had the ones on foot. The ME range by Minifigs was awesome in the mid 70s - it looks really dated now.
