More Dwarves: 5 more Ironbreakers to take me up to 25: 4 more Irondrakes plus a Champion with the pistols (my other Champion has a Trollhammer Torpedo) to give me an alternate command option: I need to get an army shot done for my Dawi, but have a few bits and pieces to finish off first

How do your metallics always look so crisp? Do you not use washes on them? I think i might have been overdoing the nuln oil

How do your metallics always look so crisp? Do you not use washes on them? I think i might have been overdoing the nuln oil Thanks! My painting recipes for my Dwarves are deliberately really simple: - Spray with Leadbelcher. If any bits (e.g. undersides of shields) get missed in this, correct manually by brushing Leadbelcher on.
- Wash all over with Nuln Oil.
- Drybrush with Stormhost Silver.
That's it for the silver. The other metals are: - Copper-brass: base Screaming Skull, layer Hashut Copper.
- Gold: base Retributor Armour.
- Both the Copper and Gold areas are then washed with Reikland Fleshshade, followed by a much lighter drybrush of Stormhost Silver for the highlights.
If you want muzzle burn (e.g. for cannons), lightly drybrush that on last of all with Abaddon Black. I really should do that for my Irondrakes, but I can't be bothered.

It's never felt right having a large Dwarf army without any regular Dwarf Warriors, but the old GW models didn't fit my army's aesthetic and for a long time the Avatars of War models weren't available. Well I finally picked some up a couple of months ago, and here they are: Pity they don't do them with great weapons - they have the parts for it, as their Rangers have two-handed axes that would fit onto these sculpts.

They are sweet! Maybe you can ask them if it possible to ship with those great weapons if you buy more? Thats a benefit from ordering from a smaller company you can get a bit special.

Those look great, sedge! I bought the command group for my Warriors and I love 'em! The Rangers DO have a few GW options, but a word of warning; they rank up HORRIBLY! They're sculpted so that they hold the GWs low and the axe head sticks WAY out to the side. I always wind up putting them along the right side of the unit. But even then, that's somewhat limiting on your options. You'd really have to zig-zag their poses.

Painted up my Pirates - from Black Scorpion Miniatures. They don't fit as a particular 8th edition unit, what with their lack of armour, plus their cutlasses, pistols and rifles. But since everyone knows Dwarf pirates as Long Drong's Slayers, that's what I painted them as. Fun models, especially the parrot and monkey. If I want to (re)finish my Dwarf army, I need to do 3 x goat riders, a Grudge Pony plus a random converted Engineer. I'll probably do them by the end of the year.

Never seen these minis before but I think I like them more than GW ones tbh. I may have to splash out for some!

They are very cool models. Painted to your normal standard! What’s the casting like with Black Scorpion minis?

They're no Mierce or Forge World, but it's good for the price. There's not loads of clean up but the detail isn't the sharpest. I'd buy their stuff again.

Awesome Dwarf pirates! Love the hats! Good call making them orange, it is a nice visual connection to Long Drong's.
