Dwarves Hospitaller

[Vermis]

Excellent.  I can imagine how barmy the crosses drove you, but the're very well done.  As is the rest.

Ugh, can I chop your hands off and replace mine with them?

Oh yeah Maxxev, like you are some sort of painting slouch or something eh? Pfft  :-)

In other words, superb paint job you talented git.

And i agree 100%. Damn nice paint job. I never liked the crossbow on that model. No wrongs to you about it. Your paint scheme is excellent though.

Cracking job and the hospitaller theme works really well 

[Bugsda]

Excellent! Great paintwork and an idea worth nicking 

[JollyBob]

Thanks again chaps, I'm very happy that you like them. 

I really hope that Hasslefree release some more dwarves in this style, with the flat-top helms and tabards. I have a bundle of the Norman-style ones to do, but could use another two or three of these just to bulk out the gang.

Currently I have them in my head as a Brother-Knight, two Sergeants and a Lay-Brother, and I could use one more of each of the Sergeants and Lay-Brothers to make up a full "Lance".

The Vertically Challenged Crusaders look FANTASTIC...your usual high standard brushwork & basing with a very clever theme. As always VERY WELL DONE!

[jthomlin]

Very nice!

The Nasal helms would work well as normal foot soldiers, give them less uniformed approach but with a red/white cross badge?

[OSHIROmodels]

Does anyone else see these as possible LotR dwarves?

cheers

That's pretty much my plan, although they won't necessarily be crusaders. Need to look at some proper Norman shield designs before I make any decisions.

I think that's been suggested on the Forum of Doom, and IIRC Kev White said that's what he had in mind.

I certainly do, but maybe not what you guys are thinking.

I was thinking that, anatomically, they remind me of Dwarves as illustrated in the MERP books.

To my mind, that will always be what Dwarves should look like.

I am sure you could get some Heater shields fomr the like of Front Rank to change them from the Norman look, that way you could tie in the design

Top job Rob-Bob! The crosses looks like transfers, in a good way! Very nice!
