I wasn't really planning on doing any green stuff on these guys, but I had some time so I jumped at it. I always seem to mix up too much putty for what I need, the spare was plastered onto bases to create uneven ground.
The odd blanket roll helps with the campaign look.
I thought I would add some straps for the shields, again this wasn't really nessacary, but they do look better with them.
This was the main reason for all the sculpting, I like this GW iron breaker dwarf with his big axe. Unfortunately he is wearing thick plate armour which isn't really Middle Earth. I needed to cover most of it so the figure would fit into the chain mail posse.
A quick job but it looks better than heavy plate. The rest should be quite hidden when on the base.
The Alternative Armies dwarves are great, I have a soft spot for them. This lightly armoured dwarf sports a new axe and a bedroll.
It was a bit of extra work but I think when the figures are painted, the time would of been well spent.

Great conversion work, Simon, love the cloak.
Thanks Ray, it's always nice to add some sort of personal touch. It also helps when it comes to pushing through the painting que.
