Dwarf King in the shield wall

A Dwarf king and his elite guard take to the field.

 Amongst the Eagle helms of the shield wall is the kings champion himself. Nothing must get to the king and the champions blue axe, will see that nothing does.

I could use this base for King Balin when he tries to retake Moria. A future project of mine.
The King points out floors in the enemies formation to the chief engineer.
The Dragon standard flies over head echoing the Kings mighty dragon helm.
This base has been created for the upcoming Hobbit battle, replacing Dain's base in the ranks. This allows Dain to roam freely as a character on the field.

 The figures are beautiful old sculpts from Asgard and Citadel. There has been a bit of tweaking on a couple of them, like the axe and the standard.

Creating Draugr

I have an idea of making a few stands of Draugr, the Viking dead. I have bought some nice Colin Pattern sculpts but thought I'd have a go at making some.
I have loads of Viking sprues left over from the Lake town project, these I mixed with some Oathmark undead sprues. I will add some greenstuff to these to make them a little more Viking.
