More Conqueror and Vendel Dwarves
« on: 09 May 2020, 11:55:16 AM »
More dwarves in progress on the painting table. No basing yet as I need to add some banners and some of the hornblowers need to be based up with heroes who are yet to be painted.

The limited colour scheme is being tentatively expanded with some dark blues. Think it’s working so far, though the next batch may be darker.

Figures mostly by Conqueror and Vendel (now Thistle and Rose) with a few interlopers from other ranges. Shields are a mix of LBM transfers and freehand.

Lovely work James  :-* :-* :-*

They really have a grittier look to them than then LotR GW stuff. A brilliant imaginative rendition of The Silmarillion :)

Great stuff James.  Very much how I imagine Tolkien's Dwarves should look.

Yes!  Having given up saying it at school, I seem to have picked it up again from Nick Northstar and Dave Woodward. Dunno if it’s a Nottingham thing or what.

Anyway, glad you liked the dwarves.
