Looking good!
I wonder if it'll be worth trying to carve a few runes into the stone?

Looking good! I wonder if it'll be worth trying to carve a few runes into the stone? Thank you! As fot the runes, I might be painting some or glue some from bits. It's a real rock and quite hard too, I won't be able to carve anything without destroying it. |

I also created a quick list of the models I have and that are yet to be painted. this is not a comprehensive list, as I went from memory and haven't checked my collection yet or put any of the vast majority of heroes (we're probably missing another 100 or so miniatures) These are obviously "naked" units and lack any Runic upgrade. the cost of command has been included for those units I know for sure I have the models. For artillery I'm counting 4 models a piece (war machine + 3 crews) even though many of them came with 4 or more crews. the extra crews (which I have yet to tally up) will end up as Engineers characters. the Lord on shield bearers I wasn't unsure on whether to count as 1 or 3 miniatures, so I count them as 2. The first observation is that I have way less miniatures than I thought. Which is a really good thing as the whole project looks a lot less daunting than I thought it was going to be. the second thing that jumps to the eye is the fact that I sorted most them in groups of 10, for the most part. This is done intentionally as it's either how I obtained them (Thank you Battle for Skull Pass for providing years of dirt cheap dwarfs), or it's done to make painting easier as I'd be focusing on 2 ranks of 5 at the time. The list will be updated over the next few days as I go through my collection and many boxes to see what I have and what I forgot I had Less than 1000 miniatures is a much more approachable goal that I can actually see myself complete, wish me luck Edit: I forgot to post the link to the list. Here it is
Edit 2: If you sort them by ascending name (just click on "unit Name") you'll actually sort them by Core-special-Rare etc, since I numbered them accordingly |

I really like the way you've done the green. The Horn blower especially looks excellent.

Flip Luigiano, that's quite a throng! Not quite sure what you'll use those 5 boltthrowers for though I've bought 1, just so I have a model! Can only see me using it against a flyer-heavy list |

xz I really like the way you've done the green. The Horn blower especially looks excellent. Thank you! I'm particoluarly fond of him too. The more i paint them the more I realize little metal works really well for Dwarfs/ Flip Luigino, that's quite a throng! Not quite sure what you'll use those 5 boltthrowers for though I've bought 1, just so I have a model! Can only see me using it against a flyer-heavy list Yeah, I can't wait to have more and more painted. As for as the BT I used to have way more, like 12 or something. I ended up trading some and also had a couple stolen (along some other long OOP artillery and miniatures). Back in the old book Bolt Throwers were hands down the best artillery in the game. Cheap, reliable, runable, champion engineer option, 2 counted as a single special choice (so you could field 12 in a grand army! and trust me I absolutely did)…… I miss the old bolt throwers more than I miss the old anvil. |

New update. I've finally finished all the hammerers I had primed and prepped. I still have some 25-30 others hidden somewhere but they have to be found, stripped, and primed. I absolutely LOATHE painting these models. I'm not sure why, but they're just a pain to paint. for now I'm calling this unit finished, here they are. The Green Maul  I also touched up and based this crew member/engineer  More interestingly, I've finally started working on my main army standard. I still don't have a model picked out for the BSB himself so, the Thane here is just for scale  and here's with a quick paper mock-up  I might remove the cone/tip but I'm liking it more than I originally thought I would |

Wow that banner is going to be HUGE!!
Is your hold-thane compensating for something, short-strider??

They actually are.
They're compensating for the lack of grudges: they've struck too many out of their book so they're finding themselves short (ah!) of things to do.
The banner will work as an invite to start shit.

yeah, that flag is something else. I can also tell that you have no intentions of ever playing outside the comforts of your own home |
