Cheers Yea they will have shields eventually, prolly do those in batches of 5 or 10 (hate painting shields...)

OK 

Here's the musician for the Longbeards. Not finished yet, but maybe as finished as he'll get

Me too even though I've hardly painted any... I got 63 goblin shields to do someday...  But not this week, I'm bringing my unit of 50 bowmen to the table, see if they plus some fanatics and Shaman can help my cause...

I think it's great to see the older orcs.....! Love the original FB stuff.

Me it's not so much the shields I hate, but the banners. Especially if you have to make them yourself and then fiddle with attaching them in an acceptable fashion.

[Thantsants]

Banners are a right pain - nice job on yours Hetz and I love the musician - where's he from?

[rob_the_robgoblin]

I don't mind shields, but yeah, banners are a pain.

Loving the dwarfs so far, you've given me a few ideas. I'm surprised how some of the modern sculpts sort of fit in with the modern ones. They just look a bit over detailed.

I'm considering buying some of the new plastics and converting them like crazy.

[white knight]

In my opnion the current plastics are barely detailed, rotund, gorilla-armed shit.

If you want to convert them into something to fit with the classic figures, use the 6th edition plastics, like I did.

[AKULA]

blimey, i didn't know you could paint....?

Mm yeah.
I have a few of the 6th ed ones. They seem a bit weedy to me, but bulking them out should be no difficult task.

Beautiful, just beautiful

Pay attention Matt 

In my opinion plastics are barely detailed, rotund, gorilla-armed shit.

Fixed   OK, that's my opinion on all the Dwarf plastics.

Thants, the Dwarf musician is a later edition dwarf - as is the leader - 5th or 6th maybe?

I like doing banners, the one on this unit is a temporary one. How fast can you get through a tube of tomato puree? I'm finding out...

Anyways here's a complete unit pic.

[Thantsants]

Thats a good idea - paper's a bit fiddly at times and doesn't bend where you want it...

Spag Bol for tea tonight!! 

[white knight]

I use aluminium food containers for flags and banners (the empire handgunner banner in my thread is made from this stuff). The good thing is I can buy a pack of these unused and don't have to eat stuff for them.

You can cut it with scissiors, curl it around the standardshaft and bend it into the position you want and it will keep that shape unless you exert pressure on it and bend it out of shape.
