Check out page 425 of the Warhammer rulebook for rules for the Dwarf Thunderbarge, these models would be perfect to represent the Thunderbarge....

Airships with metal balloons. Hmmmmmmmm
Undecided on these. They look like mantic models and I don't mean that as a compliment

They look pretty cool to me - better then Mantic I'd say for sure!
Stylistically we now have two very different dwarf 'armies' release Fyreslayers (who look exactly like you'd expect) and steampunk dwarf pirates which are basically the next step from the dwarf flying models introduced in 8th.
I like the idea there are going to be different flavors of dwarfs released over time to fit different visions for them beyond the base Tolkien concept.

ERMAGERD
These are NOT the dwarfs of 1999. No more axes and runes stunty legs and rock.
Fluff wise, I don't like flying dwarfs. I like that even less than a dwarf on a boat.
But these really are cool sick and totally different models.
It's new. It's change. I fear change, but... I am trying to embrace it.
N.W.O.
I give this an 8.5 out of 10 score.
a half point fluff deduction, otherwise would be a 9.

Cheers to GW!
The minis are SOOO COOOL, but I can guarantee I won't buy those sets.

Love the air ship and overall idea, but the modeling its a little over the top for me and superfluous imo.
It says warhammer community, what is that from?

I love that they are producing and pushing the ideas of Dwarfs in more than one direction, but these models belong more in 40K than they do in Fantasy. I mean, heck, one of them even has a CHAINSWORD! There are more guns than axes and hammers! And Jumppacks?!? C'mon. They are truly trying to turn Fantasy into 40K.

Chainsword + Jump pack + Dreadnought. I thought the exact same thing.
Like Gary said... This not Tolkien's High Fantasy anymore.

This is the only one I find truly absurd. And truly 40K'ish. A fine mini, well designed, great details... just not my jam, y'know? |

It's more the design reminds me of mantic's 40k dwarves. |

I dislike nearly every aspect of the models. The only thing I like is the similarity in concept to the thunderbarge, but the metal spaceship anti grav balloons I can not buy into.
Just another example of GW moving heavily away from producing models I am interested in

Warhammer community is their new web destination for community interaction. www.warhammer-community.com/Also a youtube channel exists under the same name which I follow for the very very good painting videos by Duncan. The main web page has the videos but also some cool features on fan painted minis, conversions and other stuff. I like the improved approach to community interaction a lot. Seriously though does this thing from 8th ed look like it should fly? www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Gyrocopter |
