A New Space Dwarf Army.

An Artillery Advisor, today :

[Freddy]

Looks cool, with that beard he is leaning a little bit towards the Chaos Dwarfs, isnt he?

Cheers and a big YEP. I felt that an artillery officer would suit the beard of an old-school chaos Dwarf because they were into their daemonic cannons and fire and explosions .

I recently downloaded the index cards for WH40k 10th edition (Astra Militarum) and it would appear that I have to make a few minor adjustments to the army...

1. My Army Commander (at present) has to be a special character (like Ironhand Straken, for example) because there isn't a vanilla army commander at the moment.
2. In order to have my advisors, I have to have a unit of three attachés so I will need to add a psyker and have a unit of three (Air, Artillery, psyker).
3. My Primaris Psykers can't join command squads so I'll have to spread them out amongst the squads.
4. I will turn a blind eye to some of the close combat weapon options due to not having any chainswords but plenty of hammers.

In all fairness, it's not too bad but it means that I have to sculpt an alternative psyker (Astropath advisor) in order for me to include the advisors and make a few small adjustments to where the characters would be added on the battlefield...

... it's lucky that I don't game but I would like to keep the army "Codex friendly" because the miniatures are being sold and to not have the option of including sculpted miniatures in the army due to there being a required character to add to them, is unfair... So I'll definitely be sorting a proxy Astropath.

I wish, sometimes, that GW would leave things alone... I am old and I fear change .

Inso,

Splendifferous stuff as ever!

I forgot to post an image of the finished platoon... so here it is :

These sculpts are fantastic! They nail the nostalgia wonderfully - like something that walked straight out of the 80s, and with loads of cheeky character to boot.

Thank you . The character of the '80s was what I was aiming for .

More painting . This is the first infantry squad for the second platoon :



I'll be starting the next one a bit later today .

[Inso]

Two more units for the second platoon; the command squad and second infantry squad :





The heavy weapon squad is now on the table and when that is finished, it will complete the second platoon .

[LouieN]

a nice force.  Well done

Cheers .

The last unit for the second platoon is on the work bench... then it's the third platoon and that's all the painting finished until I have sculpted some servitors and an astropath... then that'll be it for this army (unless I feel the need to paint up some of the spares ).

[Inso]

The final unit of second platoon is now finished; the heavy weapon squad:



I'll tee-up a photo of the second platoon at some point soon .

Now... it's on to the third platoon ... and I'll probably start with an infantry squad (to get the bigger unit finished first)...

[Steelwraith]

I've just finished Thor...



... and he really doesn't like being reminded about things...

I love him , he's so cool. I hope he's coming out soon, along with Santa and the Wine Witch. I am a fan of all your creations, and have invested in every Macrocosm Kickstarter where they've appeared. Now, I need to paint them all. Sigh, oh, well.

[Inso]

Cheers, Steelwraith . I'm glad you are enjoying my sculpts .

I am not sure what is happening with Thor... I'll ask Chris and see when/if he plans to release him. He's quite specialised so I'm not sure where he'd fit in the kickstarter/release schedule.

I'll find out and let you know .
