Warhammer Fantasy: Dwarf Hammerers painted



Sorry for the long delay between posts, i've mostly been scouring eBay for warhammer fortresses to get the walls for the vampire hunter campaign, I was originally planning on building my own walls but 2 weekends after starting I had only finished one and I simply don't have that much spare time!

Anyway, back on topic, here are 8 more Warhammer fantasy dwarf hammerer conversions, mostly painted (red still needs highlights, blue still needs a bit of shading) the bases obviously are not finished, as per most of my projects I like to finish ALL the models before basing.

If your curious as to how these guys were made, I believe there are WIP shots further back in the blog, I even did a tutorial of sorts for the female ones, though i'm not sure that made it onto the blog (i'll have to re-write that).

I have 29 of these lads / lasses in total to get though, so once I have done with the red / blue i'll be basically 1/3rd of the way through.... this is why I don't play mass battle games anymore....
Gold gold gold gold, gold gold gold gol, gold gold gold gold...... yes ok I like gold on my dwarves....
Back rank
Hip flask = celtic silver bead for anyone curious, 2 guts on the left have beards from "avatars of war "beserkers


Front / Middle Rank
My ape faced lass conversion second from the right, the shoulder armour does look a little like an armband.... nevermind.

Yes the guy second from the left is a short ball with legs.....

Skaven Clans: Eshin Sorcerer


So, you can't really have a bunch of Mordheim warbands without at least one skaven one can you?....

As it happens I picked up this figure as a damaged figure on eBay, the miniature had no head (missing) and his left hand and banner pole had been removed. he's been sitting in a bits box for years since then, until I finally decided I should do 1+ Skaven warbands too. I just decided to paint this figure for a bit of a change really lol having not painted any skaven since about a year after Mordheim was released.

The head and pointing hand are from the plastic stormvermin kit, and TBH I have no idea where the staff top came from. I haven't got an assasin yet to lead the band, they always seem to go for a fair bit of cash :( and I have none, particularily as i've been trying to buy the terrain I need for the Vampire hunters campaign.

He's been painted very simply using my usual method of block colours, inks and then highlights in the same colour as used for the blocking, the eye and chunk of Wyrdstone got a bit more effort, painted white and then using progressive mixes of water and green washed (a couple of times as I messed it up the first time) the right side of his face still needs more work, I tried giving him painted whiskers.... yeah that didn't work, so it's been re-painted, needs to be inked again.
 

Anyway , I hope you like him, i'll re-ink the face, varnish him and pop him in the cabinet with all the rest of the painted models until I get an assasin or some other inspiration for the rat things.

Long term I hope to make an Clan Eshin, Clan Pestilen and Clan Moulder warband, I may also do a few models for Clan Skryre and Clan Mors, perhaps they could be skaven hired swords.

Anyway that's all for now.
