Painted Dwarfs From All Over the Web...

No new miniatures update in while, but don't be worried, there's a lot of stuff in the pipeline, even though it is unlikely any of it will be released before the end of the year.

Meanwhile, take a look at some other people's brushwork on the dwarfs. The occasional Marauder dwarf snuck into the pictures as well. If you can spot them all you get a cookie (from the tin in the cupboard in your home).

First off, here are Darkblade's fantastic dwarf pikes. He's made excellent use of the sallet helmet variants for a striking unit of hard steel.

Then there's Blue's fantastic Zweihänder unit (spot the intruder), later joined by the new Zweihänder sergeant:

More Zweihänders, very well, how about this unit of 25 from the hand of Fanai Glimmerclaw:

And last but not least, certainly not LEAST, this massive horde painted by Alain Pigeaux. I could only show a small selection here, but he has lots more pictures of the whole force for you to check out!

Dwarfs with Greatswords - Part 1

At long last I managed to slap some paint on some of the first mastercastings of the dwarf zweihänders and I may be biased, but I think they look bloody fantastic. It's almost a shame that some of the wonderful detail is hidden on their backs as it really helps to set them apart from the rank and file. These are clearly better paid soldiers, with access to the very best fineries and equipment.

I went for a more uniformed look to these as they are professional elite soldiers and may be subject to more strict uniform regulations. There is of course room for individuality even within the most strict corset (not that they're wearing those underneath that armour) (I hope). I think the bright colours I use throughout the army work especially well on these figures.
