Mortar #2

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Dwarf Army 24 September 2012 - - - - - - · 461 views

Good afternoon dwarf associates!

Although painting in recent weeks has been slow going, I have finally tackled and finished this “dwarf mortar”. I actually started this for the August painting competition, but I was ill for a week and didn't end up finishing it in time.

The longbeards around here may remember the...

243 Dwarves, 9 War Machines And A Halfling

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Hobby, Dwarf Army 21 May 2012 - - - - - - · 861 views

Hello once more!

I mentioned in an earlier post that my dwarf army was about five hundred strong and had some requests to take a photo of my entire army. I used the opportunity to take stock of where my army repaint project is at and how much I still have left to paint.

I'm a bit behind where I thought I was; I reckoned I had finished about three...

More Metal Warriors

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Dwarf Army 11 May 2012 - - - - - - · 573 views

Greetings Bearded Brothers!

Another unit completed - proof that slow and steady does indeed win the race! Although I started re-painting these dwarves over twelve months ago, most were painted in the last six months.

I like this unit as it looks like the most badass group of dwarves in my army. It's full of menacing expressions, eye patches,...

04/2012 Competition Entry - Magic

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Competition Entries, Dwarf Army, Hobby 26 April 2012 - - - - - - · 399 views

Hi all!

It's been awhile since I entered one of these but I needed a break from the unit I'm painting and I've been looking for ways to practice my freehand.

This fellow is one of my favourite dwarves ever, from any manufacturer. I actually have two of them and want to paint one as a hero for the army, so I used this one as practice. ...

Battle Standard Bearer

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Hobby, Dwarf Army 14 March 2012 - - - - - - · 756 views

Hi everyone!

I've never had a battle standard bearer. Regular readers of this blog will know that the majority of my playing days were during 5th edition when there was no model available. Instead, I just substituted an unused bearer from one of my regular units when I...

Marauder Hammerers

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Dwarf Army, Army Background 29 February 2012 - - - - - - · 985 views

Hello again, fine dwarven folk!

Another major regiment finished! This time it's the hammerers. I can't tell you how happy I am to have this unit finished!

OK, so they're not all hammerers - I grabbed a few great hammer wielding clansmen to beef them up to make 40. I've...

Bolt Thrower #2

Hi Dwarf types!

If there's anyone around ancient enough to remember my blog post from September 2010, they will remember picked this up to match my original single bolt thrower. When I was collecting my army in 5th edition, there was no "core",...

Metal Thunderers

Evening, Dwarfs and Dwarfettes!

Another unit finished during my absence from the brewery; my thunderers. Like my warriors, these are a mixture of old and new paint jobs. The musician, you may recall, was my entry in the December 2010 painting competition,...

Mostly Metal Warriors

Hi everyone!

Here's my first finished infantry unit at my new standard size - 40 models. Some of these are improved members of my blog entry from August last year, some are newly painted (it's easy to spot which is which!). All are re-based.

I...

Three Engineers

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Dwarf Army 06 September 2011 - - - - - - · 424 views

Greetings dwarfy types,

Although my blog lapsed during my absence, that does not mean that my army painting stopped! These three old chaps will now serve as my army's engineers. The one on the right is the old "Oxy O'cetelene" model, however sadly I lack the tin man that should go with him. The others are two of the old dwarf sapper...

Project 100 New Bases - Completed!

Hello my stumpy friends!

I have finally completed the project I started in... wait, September? Has it really taken me six months!? Wow. Anyway, those who've been reading this blog since... September... will remember that I embarked on a project to re-base all my painted models, which worked out to be 154 new bases. Of course, in that time...

Grudge Of Drong Heroes

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Army Background, Dwarf Army 31 January 2011 - - - - - - · 741 views

Hello again!

After I set my Runesmith competition entry on the shelf, I realised I'd finally finished repainting my Grudge of Drong models. Readers of this blog will know how much I love Grudge of Drong, so I thought I'd post some pics and a little bit about their history in my dwarf army!

01/2011 Competition Entry - Runesmith

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Dwarf Army, Competition Entries, Hobby 21 January 2011 - - - - - - · 565 views

Well.

I almost didn't submit this as I don't feel it's up to my usual standard. Not that my usual standard would stand a good chance of winning the competition, but I promised myself I'd enter all these competitions as a way of improving my painting skills and motivating myself to keep plugging away at my huge pile of unpainted metal. In...

Dwarf Mortar

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Dwarf Army, Hobby 05 December 2010 - - - - - - · 698 views

Hi mates!

This 'dwarf mortar' is the solution to a problem I had. Namely to do with grudge throwers. I've never really used stone throwers much, as when I began playing my main opponents used small elite armies, unsuited to stone thrower use. It didn't help that there wasn't a stone thrower model available, despite there being...

5Th Edition Flame Cannon & Mordheim Engineer

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Mordheim, Dwarf Army 10 November 2010 - - - - - - · 484 views

Hello all!

I wasn't going to post this but United won so I'm in a good mood. I don't know what that has to do with it but some things just are.

This here's my flame cannon. One of the models I picked up with a job lot years ago and never felt the need to repaint it. Firstly, the paint job it has is passable. Secondly, I rarely used...

Marauder Swivel Guns

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Dwarf Army, Hobby 05 November 2010 - - - - - - · 504 views

Greetings my bearded brothers!

You may notice I've been posting a lot of artillery lately. It's mainly because re-basing 3 dwarfs is a lot quicker than 30. I am getting through the infantry too, I've a total of 83 dwarfs finished with the new basing scheme. I still have 72 to go, the difference in numbers from my original plan being...

Greetings once more!

Two days ago I uploaded my organ gun of unknown origin. A few readers of this blog took it upon themselves to help me track down its manufacturer. They were, however, unsuccessful and in their frustration suggested I was a chaos...

Organ Gun Of Unknown Origin

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Dwarf Army 30 October 2010 - - - - - - · 567 views

Hello my fellow dwarfs!

This is my organ gun of unknown origin. I eschewed the crew that came with it as unsuitable and herded up some likely looking dwarfs to use as crew. Two are siege gun extras (it came with five) and the other is a spare swivel gun crewman that I got somewhere along the line. It's an older paint job that I've...

Hello again!

In the same vein as the crossbowmen I posted recently, here are their black powder counterparts. These thunderers are some of my favorite models. Hmm. I've just noticed I say that about all my models. Anyway, who cares? You can't deny...

Marauder Crossbowmen

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Mordheim, Dwarf Army 16 October 2010 - - - - - - · 312 views

Greetings my fine bearded friends,

I got bas-es! I got bas-es! I got bas-es, who could ask for anything more?

So here's my first rebased infantry unit. Before there were “quarrelers” there were crossbowmen. I know, technically they're not crossbowmen, but that's what they were called. These were part of my original army...
