Marienburg vs. the Undeadish (update: undead & spooky stuff)

[ZeroTwentythree]

Got a couple of orc command packs from Scotia Grendel for cheap a little while ago so I could see how the figures looked & scaled up in person. Had been considering them as options for my ongoing & loosely defined half-orc project. Left is Great Orc, right is Stygian orc.

Real father and son vibe!

Took some photos of old dwarfs. Haven't painted any of these recently, but wanted a group photo. I've considered them part of the Marienburg army, but have been thinking about expanding just a little bit into a small dwarf mercenary sub-faction similar to the way I now have small forces of sea elves, wood elves, half-orcs, etc.




Handguns, pistols, and a couple of crossbows.




Artillery




Spear/pike in back, dwarf style zweihanders in front




Light artillery in the back, sword & buckler dwarfs in front.




Dwarf wizard. There are multiple definitions of that word available for use. 




Future additions. Maybe some painted soon?




Still in reserve -- cannon, a few more spear/pike & artillery crew, a couple of odds & ends.

Great work on those Dwarves!

[LazyStudent]

Brilliant little minis! What make are the dwarves?

Great work on the Dwarf army.  They are certainly not short of artillery!

[boneio]

Lovely dwarves!

I somehow missed that Stygian orc - that's my favourite orc range.

Mostly Marauder, some old Citadel, and one from White Knight/TAG. I've got a few more of the White Knight/TAG figures among the unpainted.

Great work on the Dwarf army.  They are certainly not short of artillery!

Thank you. Well, the artillery may not be short, but the crew...

I had been looking at the whole range for a while and the sygian orcs are my favorite of the various orcs.

Beautiful work, I have a pile of the same dwarves waiting for attention that they are now never going to recieve! 

[ZeroTwentythree]

Started on some of the dwarfs, but not much to show yet.

However, I did finish the giant forest troll from Sandstorm Miniatures/Satyr Art Studio!

I was really intimidated about painting it, but once I got started it was a lot of fun.

That is a very cool figure and an excellent paint job! I hadn’t heard of that manufacturer before, thanks for posting. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with the dwarves - the ones you’be already done look great.

[Little Odo]

You have done a sterling job on a unique and interesting figure. Great job.

[Roo]

Cool miniature but my god what a paint job😳

[peleset]

That is a rather nice Troll Giant Thingy.

Reminds me of the McDeath Giant...
