This tough looking Dwarf leads a band of stalwarts in their bid to reclaim their ancestral home. He is a lovely sculpt and has all the hallmarks of Mark Copplestone. Looking at him, he would make for a great Thorin figure.
These are all part of another two bases of Dwarves I had created before moving house. Most of them sport some green stuff and nearly all are converted from different kits.
This archer is a funny one, I didn’t really like him to start with. However, after adding a shield on his back with an Elven sword I now love him. I think the shield has made all the difference.
These two figures are old Nick Lund sculpts that he did for Grenadier Miniatures. I do like mixing up orc blood for figures and I’m always trying to improve the recipe. This blood is black paint stippled on with a sponge, then washed with green ink. It’s the same look that Peter Jackson came up with for the films, a black green.

Some fantastic looking dwarfs those are!
Great looking figures!
Super minis! Love that archer.
You have really brought out the character in those figures! Well done!

Those are great, particularly the banner/shield designs. Red and off white is very striking indeed, and should look amazing on the table.
More splendid looking dwarves and I totally agree about the Thorin figure!

Dwarfs are hard to get right, they need some detail and the right mix of colours. Good job.
