Mike's Might Dwarven Throng of Karak Blargh February (489pts)

Hurray for leap day, and the bonus day to help get over the finish line in the shortest month of the challenge. This month I was lucky enough to get to work on two of my favorite dwarf units, Bugman's Rangers and a imperial dwarf hero. The hero model in particular is similar to the on that appears in the center of the first dwarf army book cover.

The little fell  in the center in all his tiny glory.

I had not intended to paint this model, because when we started the challenge I didn't have him. But a conversation on favorite sculpts with a friend led to him giving me an extra he had from his secret lead vault (or more this closet storage of his metal miniature hoard). Luckily I had figured a hero into this challenge that was easily swapped for the one I had planned, and I could dive right into painting him.

The second version of Bugman's Rangers is probably my favorite version of the unit. The first version was good, but I dislike the single sculpt nature of the rank and file troops. With this version there is some variation in the sculpts that make it seem more natural. In the list I made or the challenge these will be fielded as a unit of crossbows. 

I still haven't decided what to do next month, but at least I've been whittling away at the rank and file troops.
