I've never been a collector of things I end up just looking at. With this sprue you could create a unique model to place on the table. Since no one ever clips the sprue, you will probably have the most unique "no-conversion" model around. I would definitely build it! It looks like a nice sprue.

I keep checking here waiting for the finished pictures ... hurry up would ya

If there's something I learned in this hobby - it'd be the art of being patient.

(Eh Perv? Two months to ship a package from England to here ... )

It was sent on the back of a Dwarf, they've got short legs and dont swim too well

[Helbrimm Proudbeard]

I'm currently working on a other conversion project in which I'm attempting to convert a Forgeworld Chaos War Mammoth to a Dwarven War Mammoth and thus the sprue hasn't gotten any attention just yet.

I'll see if I can find some time tomorrow or the day after that to work on putting the model together. Sorry for keeping you waiting .

Patience may be a virtue, but the squeeky wheel gets the greese ..

I guess if I was a dwarf I would be an engineer ...

Can't wait to see the photos of it assembled and what bits that left for you to play around with...

Unassembled I know, but my mammoth project is currently taking up all of my time.

Truly a pity it was never released, as I like the set quite alot. It's still plastic, but with no doubt the nicest set I've seen so far.

Who exactly is supposed to carry the Dwarf Lord? I see arm bits that could be used for this purpose, but where are the carriers themselves? Plain Warriors, maybe?

There are 2 Dwarf heads, 2 Dwarf bodies and 2 Dwarf bodies with head in the sprue so you can create the full model with just this sprue.

I may be asking a repeated question, but how many of these unreleased sprues were created before they discontinued the model? Secondly what's the quickest and cheapest way to get a hold of one?

[Tungdil Goldhand]

Ebay is your best bet.

I still don't get it Helbrimm - you'd need two bearers and the Lord himself, making three models, right?

Look at the top right quarter of the sprue in the first picture (or the entire 2nd picture). From left-right, you'll see - 2x Shieldbearers, 2x Shieldbearer Arms (plus what looks like a shoulder guard), 2x Dwarf Legs/cloaks, and 2x Dwarf Head/torsos.

End result = 2x Shieldbearers, and Dwarf Lord for on top (with additional body parts for a Thane or Standard Bearer).



Huge thanks to Helbrimm for the pics. They were definately worth the wait and make for a much better look than we've ever had of the sprue.

Just a thought...

It's so sad that this was never released.

Imagine all the other bits would would have had for unit champions.
I hope it sees the light of day at some point.

[Lord Azaghul]

What’s amazing to me is to look at the difference in detail between this and the new chaos chosen knights. I hope to do make another go at this type of sprue when our next book is released.

Has anyone translated the runes on the oathstone or banner? I'll maybe take a crack at it this weekend if someone doesn't beat me to it.

I had a go at the Oathstone, but either it's beyond my translating skills, or it's just a bunch of random runes - more likely the former in this case .

I got the following words...

"Or" - Which translates to "I" (as in me).
"In" or "An" - no obvious Khazalid translation.
"Grimeni" - best guess is "The one who is unyielding"
"Addrengakha" - best guess is "SLAIN!!!"

So something like, "I am unyielding. I am slain!"

I'm very impressed with the runes so far. It appears some decent thought has gone into them.
