Howdy all...

Well...to fuel the WK dwarf lust a bit more...I finally finished two of the 2nd Release dwarfs that WK was kind enough to share with me...I was very excited that a couple of armored and helmeted options were included as I think this is one area the Marauder Pikes were lacking...and here they are:

More pics...including another comparison shot available at my Blog (see my signature)

More painted versions to come in the next few days...including some 3rd release poses...

Cheers,

NO! - what have you done to them - told you to send them over here so I could fix it for you and save you ass

Nah, kidding of course - just jealous that you already got these gems, that it really.

As always, you did great. Fantastic colours and executed in your usual high standard. My hat goes of to you, my friend

As I said elsewhere, they look amazing and the colours suit them very well.

Great stuff blue! Especially like the wood grain effect on the spears!

Ahh the Karl Franz's own Altdorf Dwarven Volnteer Regiment.. very nice, excellent painting. I honestly think to some extent Marauder has been reborn in it's hey day. Just need to persuade WK to make some marauder style human civilians now..

Lovely painting as ever, Blue.

Now that's a good idea - are you listening, White Knight?

No, but I'm reading.

My thoughts do occasionally dwell to other races, but currently the dwarfs and goblins are all I can manage. Maybe further down the line.

I shall keep my eyes open, then

those minis just ooze charecter, I might have to get some for myself.

Nice paintjobs there fella

Thanks all for the kind words...but I have to say that the figures do half the work here...John Pickford has really done an spectacular job of bringing WK's vision into reality here...and the amount of variability possible with all the head/body/weapon combos is quite amazing...I must have spent 2 hours trying different heads on bodies...mixing heads from the different releases and just imagining whole units of these guys on the table top.

Cheers,

Blue

VERY COOL Little Guys & BEAUTIFULLY painted! I love your choice of colors; the way you did your metallic pieces, & the woodwork on the spears...VERY WELL DONE!

A man must have his priorities straight...Dwarves & GOBLINS are wise choices.

I agree and especially like the wooden texture at the shaft of this upper dwarf (pic on the left side)! Longing to see the whole regiment, if there is one (memo: must check the blog)

Did You get these texture just by bravery and accident or willpower and a steady hand? Was it meant that way or pure luck? Whenever I try these lines I horribly fail with wooden texture on smooth surfaces.

best wishes
