Dwarves of the Twin-Peaked Mountain

So this month I've painted a whole wargaming unit! Admittedly, this is an elite foot unit for Dragon Rampant, and therefore only six figures, but I'm happy nonetheless. I did eyes and freehand shields and everything! Have some phone photos as proof...




Those of you who know this figure range well will perhaps notice that fist-pumping boss dwarf (red mantle and golden dog crest) has been slightly modified. I removed the lump for a shield from the back of his hand because I thought it looked better.

Blue and white is obviously a nod to Wayne England's classic army from the pages of White Dwarf (back when it was good), although I decided out of pure caprice that for dwarves it is the colours that matter in heraldry rather than the usual human insistence on pattern.

I hope you like them,
Rab

    Fine work, Rab. The checkered cloak is particularly nicely done.

      Thanks, Dean - don't look to closely or you'll see how varied they are in size...

    Those little fellas are full of charm.I think there have been a lot of Dwarves painted blue and white in Tribute to Wayne England this month. Your unit are a lovely tribute.

      Thanks, rv! I hope you're right about the colours, it would only be fitting.
