Robert's And so it begins (Bugmans Brewers 312 points)

Month number one is in the bag and I'm feeling pretty good about where this army is going to take me. I knocked out a good amount of points and I probably should have saved some for the following two months with me moving to a new state in March, but that kinda talk can be left on the field of bones. 

For this month I really wanted to get a feel for my colors and how my over army was going to look. I had this idea knocking around that I was really keen on and figured why the hell not. So the inspiration for my army was the Saami people of Northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland.  To me they have a very Dwarven feel to their clothing so I ran with it.

For this first unit of Dwarves I went pretty deep with hero's. Having a Level 5 Foe Smiter (48 pts), a Level 10 Anvil Cleaver (88 pts) and a Level 5 Spell Smith (78 pts) I was already at a whopping 214 points. Not wanting to take the easy route I finished off the other 7 Longbeards for another 98 points. This brought me to a total of 312 points for the first month.

One of the dwarves from the "Dwarf Lords of Legend" box set. I am going to see about painting them all up and adding them to the different units in my army.

One of the few magic/Rune Smith Dwarves I will be adding to this army.

Another shot of the shields I sculpted for the army. I am super stoked at how they turned out I can't wait to sculpt more.

I was really happy with the way the shields turned out considering it was the first time I had ever sculpted anything like them. I am excited to really dive into this army and I think next month I may need to add some good ol fashion Dwarven war machines. Nothing is more Dwarven than a few drunk Dwarves walking around with a flame cannon strapped to them. 

The background is one of the paintings I did during my Bob Ross Instructor certification course. I will be using it as a backdrop for my OWACIII miniature photos.

Remember there are no mistakes only happy accidents.

Till next month Skal!
