You know... *whispers* I've had this long-term plan of sculpting a bunch of landsknecht dwarves and potentially casting them. I've got thumbnail sketches and the first few figures framed & bulked out for some greatswords. Not even a face on them, yet, though.

Unfortunately, at my rate of distraction, I'll finish them sometime around my 173rd birthday.

Your ideas intrigue me, sir...I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

If you do get around to that, definitely let me know, please.

Sign me up for that newsletter too! I too would like to know how you plan on making it to your 173rd birthday!

Quick post before I'm off to Marauders Mayhem. I hit the road to Dayton in about 2 hours and I've just finished my somewhat rushed display board. It's not as nice as I had originally planned, but I was on ultra-tight schedule with it. Also, the flocking came out strangely splotchy.

A couple of quick pics before I pack it in the SteamCelica:

Wish me luck. I've only won like 3 games since the last GT at the beginning of summer. I've got a whole pile of draws and losses just waiting to be balanced out by a good tournament showing. Or something. I can dream...

And how did it go? Any change of your army in full glory on the field of the board?

Obi · « **Reply #158 on:** October 13, 2008, 01:30:30 PM »

You must have won this- your opponents couldn't have concentrated with such a splendid army facing them.

Thanks all!

Not alot of time right now, but I did pretty well - better than expected! I just put a few comments up my blog for now... http://zerotwentythree.blogspot.com/

Guess who finally won something on ebay?

They look like this: http://www.solegends.com/marauder/mm14dwfswivel.htm and will go nicely with my other Imperial dwarfs. For some reason these guys eluded me for ages.

I've still got to figure out how to actually use them in standard games. One option is to try mounting them on a multi-base to represent several handguners. Or maybe I should build some sort of dwarf vessel in the pay of Marienburg? (Ironclad? Steam-Wagon? Dirigible?)

I'm just happy I won anything on ebay. Only the second time it's happened. I guess I'm a cheap bastard.

Von Kurst · « **Reply #165 on:** October 22, 2008, 12:04:55 AM »

Are those regular dwarf crew or chaos dwarves? Mine came with chaos...

But I use them to repel boarders!

Sweet ships!!

Now I want to do naval battles. What rules do you use?

These are regular dwarfs in Empire style clothes, like some of the other figures I've posted.

I know the chaos swivel gun you're probably thinking of. I have that one too (and the mortar and the bazooka.) This is a different one, though.

Oh mate, don't get me started! We use primarily GC rules, with a bunch of house rules. In that battle we added swivel guns also from the GC but the siege section...

Mr NK was always talking about doing an Empire Pirate army. I'd bug him if you're looking for someone else to catch the ship craze... If you can pry him away from his Dark Elves!

There was a mortar? For a youngin' you got all the cool stuff!

(Thanks for not pointing out that I missed the link you provided in your original post...)

Youngin'? Heh. Thanks.

Actually I got all the chaos dwarf stuff and probably 70% of my empire-looking dwarfs back when they were brand new.

Is there any chance that we can better pictures of the units?

At some point I'll see if I can maybe try doing an illustrated army list, unit by unit, or something like that. Right now I'm in a painting mood, so I'm going to take advantage of that as much as I can.

I've been working on my historicals, but as I've previously commented, I'll include some of them here when relevent. I have used some of my previously painted pikemen in my Empire army, for example. So on to some new ones... Other than the bases and some standards (and finding a few command figures to add to the unit!) I'm done with the first unit of 25 Low Countries pikemen. I've got mixed feelings on the figures, but have already gone over that at my dedicated blog thing (link in sig.)

But I will post pics!

GamesPoet · « **Reply #172 on:** October 27, 2008, 12:25:38 AM »

Those pikes look super!

Obi · « **Reply #173 on:** October 27, 2008, 07:21:53 PM »

Awesome! Great pikes man, awesome conversion. It's clear that they can fight in 4 ranks all right

I love the painting also

Count Stephano · « **Reply #174 on:** October 27, 2008, 09:19:59 PM »

Great stuff!

No doubt they are pikes huh
