Nice work as always - like the ballistics equations on the chief gunner's clipboard!

Nice stuff, WK! A world of difference on the grey beard! The yellow cloth on all are a lot better too!

I still think you should post up a total shot of them all, as they are now. Please! =)

3 more Marauder dwarves, unconverted this time. Two more handgunners and the first of the pikemen.









The complete unit so far:


And a group shot of the dwarves together:

I will. It's just that my knights are currently being touched up (and in the case of two figures converted) and in that intermediary phase where they look worse than before. So I'll do the group shot when they are done.

Been a while since I finished anything. Three more Marauder dwarf pikemen (unconverted).


Individual shots:






And with the one from before:

Not much to say that haven't been said allready - but they still look great! =D Especially the ginger chap turned out well, effective black lining on the face! If anything, I think you could have even darker shades inbetween fingers etc.

That's an impressive group shot - the new fellas are looking great too.

Got to say I know they're not very landsknechtly (if that's a word) but I always loved the highland flavoured dwarf clansmen that Marauder did back then too.

Not enough natural light to take pictures by, but it'll have to do. 3 more Marauder dwarves, all three converted to look a little different:



Hair- and beardextensions and a sash were added:


New beard and puffy sleeves and pants were added:


Beardextensions, new sleeves and pants and a feather in the hat.


The pikemen so far:


And a side by side with the unconverted models:

Seemless additions. I have said before you have talent with the putty. A bit of patience and you could knock out full original sculpts of this ilk. I know, "I dont have time or the inclination or my mum says I can't" etc  :D

The beards are so full and luxurious - fabulous extensions darling!  ;)

Nice way to get a bit of variation out of your minis too.  :D
