rob, as you know I still have a shitload of the hammerers. ;) Posting up a lead mountain clearance thread today, check the bazaar later.

Sorry about the hijack, Thants... =P

Sorry about continuing the hijack, but dear god, I wish I had time to finish the WHFB project and add in your stuff! 'fraid Napoleoniques and VSF take up my time usually!!!  lol What with the release of Darkestorme, I'm all tied up in that too!  :)

No worries Rob - you sound like a busy man!

Got another two dwarfs done for the Ashak Rise scenario - they're only little so don't take long!  :D

Not sure about the treasure hunter's face - was getting hot and bothered so not my best work - may retouch it at a later date...  >:(

Anyways great minis which fit well with the backstory that these fellas have deserted the Grand League and are illicitly panning for gold!

Steve, did you paint that face after the BBQ? =P

Don't think he looks too bad - not keen on the mini itself though. On the other hand, that hooded club wielding guy is great!

Yeah he's a bit of an ugly mug and the weapon isn't great - bought him just cos he had a treasure chest under his arm and thought it fitted nicely with the Ashak Rise scenario - deserting dwarfs fighting off an orc invasion which has inconveniently disturbed their illicit gold mining operation!

How could you tell!  :o

Don't know whether it was the beers and half bottle of wine at lunch time or heatstroke...  ;D

Reckon if I can sort the eyes out he won't look too bad...

I love the dwarf with the dragon helmet (comes from boxed set DRAG3 Green Dragon & Dwarf). While his face could be better, I really like to see a dwarf with a treasure chest under his arm, raising his axe as if to shout: "that treasure is mine, MINE!" Oh and I am really, really fond of this dragon helmet.

Dwarfs are the best in every fantasy world.

Cheers Welf - exactly the reasons he caught my eye!

I'm more of a green skin man myself but the short ones are growing on me!

Still find green skin easier to paint than normal skin tones...  :D

As spiderman once said - With great minis comes great responsibility...  ;)

I shall no longer shirk my duties in favour of bank holiday frivolity and endeavour to post some pics tomorrow and play a game this week...

Well here's a little something to tide you over...

Finally finished a unit! Well, kind of...

Fernbreth the Elf makes the last of the Druid Snart's patients who can still wield a sword in defence of the hospital. A nice old Jes Goodwin sculpt instead of the original scenario model (still lokking if anyone has a spare one?  :D).
