Stop it, I already have a hard time resisting temptation to paint one pink and purple just for the fun.

BE STRONG; the temptation will pass! Pink & Purple Ponies is SO GIRLY the thought of it is enough to make my teeth hurt.

If you'd ever care to swap some of your minis for some of my Tree/Mushroom Creatures drop moi a P.M..

Interesting suggestion, I'll keep it in mind.  8)

Are there going to be arm choices for all of them that include pistols?

Yes. They'll be available as either all pistols or all spears/swords.

These are excellent, those ponies look well and truly pissed off! Really like them all though.

Wait, now I think I may have misunderstood your question. Can you elaborate?  :)

No, you answered just fine.  I just wanted to know that if I were to spend my hard-earned cash on the little buggers, I wasn't going to be stuck with spears.

Not that I can justify the expenditure any time soon...

3 more dwarfs finished.



I think I'm going to use a lot of sallet helmets with the halberdiers unit. It helps to tie them together. And they look great.



I used a couple bits from the "pouches and dagger sprue" (namely, a pouch and the dagger) on the next one. These little details help to further customise the figures (aside from the head and arm options) and make each one look unique.


One of my plug-in types for the pike unit. Highlights sort of got washed out in the pictures. Unit is now 20 pikes strong, I will bring it up to 30 (including command) and later, after I rounded out some of the other units, I may expand it to a block of 40 or 50.

As always, fantastic job, WK. They look so good and nice crisp colours. 20 you say ??!? Not bad, and don't you think its time to show us a complete ranked unit? Hope so :)

Well, there are some marauders mixed in, so it's not a full WK unit. Will post unit shots soonish, when I've added command.

Won't hold that against you ;D

Always come down to needing those commands. Hopefully you got some old Marauders, or are yours just round the corner?

GREAT color choices are becoming a hallmark to your Dwarfs. Added paraphernalia is a Ffine way go give the minis added individuality/character. VERY WELL DONE!

I got some Marauders. Mine will still be a while as John hasn't got time to work on them this month.  :'(
