I've been sitting on these for a while now (a few months at least), hoping to share the whole set at once, but one can only be expected to sit one's own pool of froth for so long before cracking. So without further ado, here is the first half of the first set of elite dwarf infantry: the Zweihänders. They are all equipped with plate armour, a greatsword that's taller than they are, and a handweapon in it's scabbard. And big floppy hats of course.

First of, the unit champion. As befits his status, he has the biggest feather. I really like this pose a lot (which is a tribute to the old marauder ogre with greatsword).



Next, a couple of unit fillers:



I call these unitfillers because of their relatively static poses and the possibility to swap heads around (also with those from other sets).



Talking about unitfillers supposes there are also non-unitfillers, which are some one piece dwarfs. As it's an elite unit, fewer variants are required, so it was the occasion to include some more varied poses and do away with the limitations imposed by the multipart nature of the other figures.

The first one is at the ready...



... while the second one is not afraid to take the fight to the enemy.



That's it for now. The next batch will include the rest of the command set and a few more poses and variants for the unit.

Sorry, for going "elsewhere" for these - but these are certainly froth-worthy.

So nice seeing them, again ;)

Will need them all. Just invoice me when they are ready :)

These are GREAT!

My favourite has to be the champion though, he would make a great partnership with the Ogre you mentioned.

So sweet!  I love all the sculpts and they appear to fit perfectly with the marauder mm15 with the great sword... Who is perhaps the coolest mm15 of all.

I better get a lot of money for Xmas!  I'm falling behind on my WK purchases!

Keep up the great work!

The haflings are a different sculptor, so no time wasted here.

GORGEOUS stuff!

These would make brilliant Longbeards in my dwarf army I reckon!!!  :)

Now, I would love to see some armoured guard types!  ;)

Great models, I would deffinately want some, when the unit is ready.

I hope 2012 will leave me time to begin my journey into fantasy.

So, full armour, handweapon and shield? Sounds like the planned dwarf knights on foot (gens d'armes style) will do the trick then.  ;)

Basically, dwarf versions of this type of knight:
