They look very nice. Dwarf Champion looks good, I was thinking about getting that model but it's too expensive and It's nearly impossible to find the SBG rules for it.

I went a bit dwarf mad t'other day and added a load of finecast stuff to my collection

The axes were all a bit warped/broken/miscast, but luckily I had access to a large supply of the fellowship sprues

So eleven armless gimlis later and I have COOLER looking iron guard

ooooo that's a nice looking collection. You prefer the finecast over the metals? Wouldn't mind buying a pack of dwarves after seeing this.

Finecast is a hell of a lot easier to work with, but has its flaws for definite. Miscasts and bubbles being the main problem, but as I had the axes available to swap out (never really liked the tiny axes they had anyway) I thought I'd get them. I tend to find that the bubbles end up in places where you don't see them, like the underside of the model.
Metal is nice and reliable, but still suffers from the occasional miscast, and is a LOT harder to fix when it miscasts. I also dislike making metal models and since finecast have purchased lots of models I wouldn't normally if they were metal.

Looking forward to seeing you paint the Dwarves. Finecast definitely has it's benefits, my favourite being the ease of converting when compared to metal minis.

Dezartfox · **Posted:** Wed Dec 21, 2011 9:18 am

Well I got them based, sprayed silver, washed and the gold washed. And then I went home for Christmas

So they'll be updated in two weeks!

Going to work on my photography next

Got some new stuff for the Uruks:

Dezartfox · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2012 1:14 pm

Well I purchased a few things yesterday

Unfortunately my Watcher in the water is at the shop as I couldnt get it home!
Drum is pretty easy to convert to foot for when he falls off horse.

Also the dead of dunharrow are now in the fiefdoms list, and with bow limit rounding up AND the dead being able to take shields and spears (defence 8 baby!) I've made this small army of dead and blackroot vale archers.
