Dwarfs with Pikes - Part 10

Two more figures for the pikedwarf unit, this time original Marauder minis.

The first one is the one from the legendary MM15 set, which explains why he got a bit more attention from the sculptor. It's a single part model and looks great. I'm pretty happy with how he came out, as I think the colours work for him.

The second one is one of the marauder dwarfs with plug-in weapons (pikes, crossbows and handguns were made for them), and since I already painted copies of this body for my handgunners and crossbows, it's a bit less interesting, though I did manage to come up with another colour scheme for him that's different enough from my previous copies, while still respecting the general scheme.

A quick picture with similarly armed "WK" dwarfs:

Dwarf Halberdiers - Part 7

Finished off another two figures for my dwarf halberdiers. I think I'm going to use a lot of sallet helmets with this unit. It helps to tie them together.

I used a couple bits from the "pouches and dagger sprue" (namely, a pouch and the dagger) on this one. These little details help to further customise the figures (aside from the head and arm options) and make each one look unique.

Dwarfs with Pikes - Part 9

Another one for the pike unit, this time one of my plug-in types. Highlights sort of got washed out in the pictures. Unit is now 20 pikes strong, I will bring it up to 30 (including command) and then, after I rounded out some of the other units, I may expand it to a block of 40 or 50.

Seen here with the two halberdiers I did at the same time:

Imperial Dwarf Greys - Part 1

First of a unit of "Imperial Dwarf Greys". Where most other regiments rely on pistols or lances to soften up the enemy, the Greys charge directly in to battle with nothing but their swords, yelling out their defiance. They are famous for only riding grey ponies, making them instantly recognisable on the field of war.

Seen here with some light cavalry from different pony units (Light Lancers and Pistoliers):

Painted Ponyriders - Light Lancers

First of the Imperial Dwarf Light Lancers. Sort of botched up whatever is visible of the face (oops). This regiment will have dark brown ponies to set them apart from the pistoliers and the greys.

Side by side with an Imperial Dwarf Grey:

Dwarfs with Pikes - Part 8

Another three dwarfs with pikes. One is the Marauder MB1 Sergeant figure, the other two are from the second infantry set of my commissioned dwarves.

First the Marauder sergeant. This has been one of my favourite marauder dwarfs for a long time, so glad I could finally slap some paint on it. I wasn't too sure about some of the choices midpainting,  but in the end, I think he came out pretty well.

Secondly, one of my dwarfs, using the "amish" looking head. It's one of the best heads in the set IMO and it works well with this body. I also used one of the separate swords in scabbards to add some more detail:

The last one is also from the second core infantry set and is probably the combination of parts that has the most puff & slash for that much craved for landsknecht mercenary feel. Even his hat has them!

Some more pictures, the first of the 4 body poses from set two, the second a (non-exhaustive) selection of poses from sets 1-3, all armed with pikes.

Ponyriders 2 - Part 2

The new ponyriders have arrived and I've had a chance to play around a bit with them and tack them together. The pictures aren't the greatest, but will hopefully give an idea of the possibilities. They are currently all packed again and ready to go to the mouldmaker for mastermoulding.

First, the bits:

The two bodies with spears (two spear arm variants):

Pistoliers (two pistol arm variants):

The two bodies with swords (three variants)

Other Painters Doing WK Dwarfs - Part 3

Time for another round of WK dwarfs painted by other collectors. The first set is painted by Darkblade, whose work you can check out here.

Meanwhile, Clam has been busy with his copies, including a converted champion and the first ever painted Peaseblossom. There are more pictures on his blog here.

The next ones are painted by Purplebeard who's planning a massive Renaissance dwarf army. This pic is just a teaser, you can see more of them on his painting log.

Blue-in-VT hasn't been idle either and painted these two dwarves from set 3. Go check out the other pics on his blog.

Finally, Fanai Glimmerclaw has posted this converted standardbearer and a couple rank and file dwarfs (except for the middle one):

Ponyrider Greens 2 - Part 1

The new ponyrider variants are making their way to me and for various reasons it will take a little while before I can show some pictures of the assembled figures, including new heads to go with them, but here's a teaser:
