"Like a dull star, something was reflecting the moonshine past the mountain passage, as if a large jewel had made its way through the mountain wall...
...As they came closer, the scouts began to argue between themselves what it was, the colour seemed to be brown, or red, but some said it clearly was gold. But soon they realized that the object must be copper...
...They reached it, a copper gate, well high enough to let an ent walk through it without effort, and wide enough for half a dosen horses to walk in or out aside eachother without pushing against eachother..."
The gates to the Coppermine, or Arebror, as the inhabitants called it, could be seen from bree. It was actually from bree that Nurin had went with his men, as no single tavern at the time had room for 21 dwarves.
Their original idea was to take shelter at the weathertop, on the southernmost plateou of the Weather Hills, but in the dark, stormy night, they went lost. They found a creak in which they took shelter for the night, and in the morning, Nurin awoke to notice his cape had red stains on it. He had laid on a copper vein, a small one, but Nurin thought it was worth to investigate.
Within a week they had found that the mountain was rich of copper, which just so happened to be Nurin's favourite metal for its unique colour. They made a small settlement whilst they start carving out their new home out of the mountain, starting in a cave not far from where they had fallen asleep.

That is the beginning of the Coppermine Dwarves' story, now to what project there'll be:
An army, starting at 300 points:
Nurin - Dwarf King (with a 2-handed axe).
20 Khazad-Guards.
The painting progress of the first Khazad Guards will come up once I've finished painting them, Nurin's painting progress will be shown aswell once I've decided which model to use.
A game-playing board:
The copper gates, with the small valley outside, along with the first hall on the inside and a gatehouse.
All I need is to find out where I can buy Foamboard in Sweden... *scratches head*
