2 more Marauder dwarves (unconverted). Handgunners this time. The first one is one of the MM15 set. The next few updates will include more imperial dwarf handgunners.

I converted a standardbearer for my metal handgunners. It was also my first attempt at a freehand banner. It's nowhere as good as I want it to be, but it'll have to do.





The standardbearer was converted from this artillery crew figure, by adding a greenstuff beard and feather and making a standard from wire and a plastic standard top.

I'm rather happy with the striped pants on the first dwarf. Those had me worried at first. :happy:

This is one of the most interesteing and wonderful threads on the whole forum, in my opinion! I´m buying OOP minis on the net myself, I love to paint those old ones. :biggriin:

4 more Marauder dwarfs with handguns. The one waving his hat is one of my favourite models from the range.

I don't recognise the one on the right in the last picture, with two guns and a hat. Where's it from?

That's the old citadel Dwarf With No Name. He's from the preslotta era (so has a thin solid base), but he's such a cult classic that I had to include him.

3 more Marauder dwarfs with handguns. The one with the pipe is one of those models that didn't look very exciting until it started coming to life under the brush.

I've never seen that before. It's great.


Brilliant painting too.

Watch and wheep that it fell in my hands (and under my mediocre paintbrush) instead of coming to you where it would have found a paintjob worthy of it's rarity. Alas, 't is what it is, and here is my take on the unreleased marauder dwarf general:







While I had the camera out, I did a quick group shot of the dwarfs so far.

I was lucky enough to obtain one from a good soul who wasn't after crazy ebay money (and no, it's not a recast, it's the real thing). :happy:
