This week was an easy week in the sense that I really only needed to paint the figure. He’s a nice little 28mm Reaper mini with quite a lot of detail and he had a pretty good pose for a chap standing outside his doorway before he goes off to hit some poor unfortunate over the head. Dwarfs I am given to understand can be a bit like that.
I had already left a suitable whole in the base for positioning the figure so other than some minor adjustments and a few touch ups there was very little else to do. Overall I am pleased with the outcome but I hope over time my imagination will inspire greater things but you have to start somewhere. For me identifying nice figures holds the key and I have a few already lined up so we will see where we end up. For now though the journey has begun.

TIM
The Imperfect Modeller 
He’s just locked up the door to his mine, and he’s heading to the pub for a nice throat cleansing ale or three.
The finished product looks great, as do all your models. But I’m a little partial to dwarves, so I like this one even more. Well done. I really like how you have given him a dash of colour, given that dwarves are often painted quite drab and a little dour.

Thanks Anthony, glad you like the little chap. Can’t say I noticed that dwarfs are often painted drab but now that you have pointed it out I see what you mean. Next time I might have to go down the Snow White route! 🙂

Thanks Alex. I’m guessing it is an old Reaper mini which explains the Old Hammer appearance. 🙂

It’s more how you’ve painted it & the work that has gone into the base I think – just a lovely classic vibe 😊

Cheers Alex but I’ll have to say it is no more than a coincidence on my part but more importantly I’m glad you like the little chap. 🙂

Excellent finish to the piece TIM, when looking at the scene all I could hear was OY ! What do you mean I’m late ! Everything in the scene works effortlessly and good to hear you’ve found more models to inspire more of these

Haha, cheers Dave. Hopefully I’ll retain the discipline to do the other figures I have bought but I can see more and more time being diverted to my army. 🙂

You could always do a mini diorama with your army, with the general and entourage, or the unit signallers

I did do a couple of little diroamas which you may not have seen (links below) and seeing some of the figures in the range now I feel certain I will do more at some point. 🙂

This came out really well and makes you think, where is the dwarf headed? I like the sculpt and pose of the dwarf. It fits this little scene very nicely. I’m looking forward to seeing more little projects like this as you have the time and desire.
