Awesome paints (as always), Seb. How is the master casting process coming along? Hopefully no major problems.

No news on batch 2 as the rubber for the mould hadn't arrived yet when I last asked.

Well, I don't use Griffin, but I do fear the Salute buildup is going to thwart my plans for getting these (and the dwarf and goblin command figures) productionmoulded and cast over the course of the next weeks. :-[

They look great.  I fear I may be forced to place a new order relatively soon. Theoretically I am cutting back since I am in a painting slump, but some figures are harder to resist than others...

Hoarding unpainted metal is a perfectly valid hobby in it's own right. ;)

True, I actually think that finding and collecting miniatures is just as large part of my hobby as painting and I use much more time collecting than gaming.

I've been asked several times for a group shot and I've always put it off. Well, now I had the dwarf figures out, so I thought it was the occasion to snap a few pictures.

All the currently painted dwarfs (all units are still being added to), a mix of mostly Marauder and WK dwarfs, with a few citadel ones and conversions sprinkled around:





And a closer look at the regiments:

.....dddddrrrroooolllll....
Seb...in a thread on Bugmans not long ago you saw someone's very colorful work on your pike dwarfs and commented something like "sometimes I wonder why I chose such a limited palette for my force"....well my friend...this is Why!  This force is as cohesive and painted to as high a level of any force I've seen...perhaps my favorite dwarf army ever...including my own!!!!

All of those pictures are stored for inspiration....thanks for sharing them.

Keep up the excellent work!

Absolutely lovely!

The army looks fantastic together. The overall look with all the bright colours looks amazing, especially with those lovely buildings as a backdrop.

No better advert for your own range than these pictures.

Great stuff!

Stunning ...

 - and it all make sense now - everybody can now see that you certainly need more dwarfs :D

So you haven't painted any artillery, yet?? This army certainlly needs a cannon or two - so no need to sit on your hands :P - keep on working, my friend :)
