Evil Dave's Warmaster Dwarves - More Characters

[Evil Dave]

The last meaningful work I did on my Warmaster Dwarves was seven years ago (nearly to the day). I'd been humming and hawing about a Warmaster army for awhile now, and settled on the Dwarves when I got back from Scotland a few weeks ago. Since then I've finished the silver and gold, and laid down the first layer for the wood. I have no idea if I'll get these to a usable state before Fall In! in November, but I'm trying.

Great start, looking forward to following your progress.

[Evil Dave]

Thanks jambo.

The wood and white have now been finished up and I started in on the blue on the dwarves. This is going to be a long one, I think. There's a lot of small areas that I'll need to be careful on. After that it's leathers, flesh and hair. Fourish weeks left before Fall In, still hoping to make it.

They’ll look great when they’re done 

[Lovejoy]

They're looking great - I love the proper 'army' feel you get from Warmaster. You've inspired me to dig out my Chaos stuff and finally open the blisters... 

[Evil Dave]

Thanks guys.

I'm gaming tonight so I won't get getting any further on these guys this week. The blue shade and base color are down, it needs 1-2 highlights next and I made hit it with a wash to see if I like it better that way. Leathers, flesh, hair and basing to go!

[Shahbahraz]

Looking forward to seeing these finished. They look excellent so far.

[Brandlin]

As a life long dwarf fan all I can say is "must resist buying a new scale...."

[warlord frod]

Looking great. Watching your progress

Great work Dave.

Interesting to see the all over silver technique - I’ve not used that on 10mm for some time, but it was the go to method back when I did my High Elves.

Looking forward to seeing these progress

[Evil Dave]

Thanks guys.

There's a lot of metal on them, fred, (at least on the warriors) so I figured it would save me some time when I did it 7 years ago. I did the same for my High Elves as well.

I'm liking the silver less and less though as I slog on. I dry brushed it, I may go back and try to shade it a little better if I have time.

[Evil Dave]

I put the final two highlights on the blue this past week, managed to get the bases and boots based coated, and now I'm working through all the leather belts, straps and satchels on the dwarves.







I was also curious last night and took one figure to completion. I didn't use a wash on the skin, I'm not sure if that's the way to go yet. You can also see the leather on this guy too, not sure if it needs one more highlight or not. Thoughts?

[von Lucky]

These are lovely. Nice gold/blue choices.

[Evil Dave]

Thanks, they're getting there.

I finished the leather on the dwarves this week, man did that suck. There's just a bunch of tiny leather details everywhere. Anyway, the base-coat for the flesh is down now so it's that and the hair, plus decals and basing.







It's unlikely that I'll get to these before Fall In! but they're playable at least.

You are bringing out some impressive detail in these little dudes!

What colour are you going for, for the shields?
