What an adventure this has been. Six months of Dwarven painting and I have a decent playable force. This photo is the first time I have them all out on the table and man it felt good, a feeling of accomplishment and pride filled me once they were all set out.
For this final month I wanted to paint up something a little different, a little thematic, and a lot of beer. I finished off my adventure with the Runesmith on his mighty Anvil of Doom (278 pts). I wanted the anvil to look weathered and a little "Grimdark" so I worked with a mix of dark greens and browns. For the Runesmith I needed to replace his missing staff and so I decided to sculpt Bugman's mug as a symbol for the forces to rally around (cause you know beer, dwarves love it so what better way to get em to follow you than to carry a large beer mug).
During this adventure I also ended up painting the hill and the huts in these photos. I wanted at least one hill to place my war machines on during games and the huts I wanted to use as Bugman's camp for a few scenarios.

I had a great time painting the Dwarve's and I cant wait to get them on the table to go head to head with my Wood Elf army from OWACII.
Here is the force that inspired my OWACIII army.
I am super happy that I was able to do this force and bring to life an army I would read about in the old reports. (I may have to go down that crazy road and do the rest of the forces in this old battle report now).
Till the next adventure whether it is a Fantasy army or a Rogue force I will see you all in the next OWAC.
While we pass the time to the next OWAC do not disappoint the Squirrel of Judgment for he can be a harsh little bugger.
One of my favourite army of this challenge, loads of classic figures and great concept!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful classic figs well done! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteStraight up glorious!
ReplyDeleteHaving painted these last year, I really enjoyed watching you paint yours, and they look flipping brilliant! Extra kudos for collecting the scenario force - a cracking idea.
Congratulations!
Wow! Nice army! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteDwarfs, beer....and more beer! What;s not to love about this army? I really like the cohesive theme and i'm pleased to see someone taking inspiration for the armies upon the pages of White Dwarf from yesteryears. Well done. Have flagon on me!
ReplyDeleteExcellently done! They look carved into the stone! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteImpressive output and an impressive army!
ReplyDeleteSome classic models really well painted in there.
Skal indeed! I love seeing these recreations of old WD battle report armies and this was an absolute classic to try and recreate - lovely paint work and a brilliant final result :)
