Pumping Out Warriors

*Update*

This is as done as they will get. 

About two weeks ago, I decided to buy a box of dwarf warriors. Why?  

Well, there are two reasons I guess. The first, I can use more warriors instead of using so many proxies.  The second, the store I buy GW stuff from only had a single box of dwarf warriors in stock. And they haven't had new stock in the last three weeks. 

One of the difficult (obviously) things about living in South Korea and being a wargaming is getting models. It really isn't too big a deal for most games, but for GW, we are limited. I either have to rely on the single store in Seoul, order from that store or maybe use the GW online site, but I am not sure how easy that is with their stupid regulations.

Anyways, I didn't have too much motivation to paint these guys, but I did manage to get them to about 90% in about 4 hours this morning. 

They turned out...standard. The dwarf warriors are just so boring to paint. The part I especially hate about them is the cloth. I haven't been able to make it work. This time, I used a sky blue color (oops) that didn't go on as well as I had hoped. 

I also tried messing around with the bases, but I don't like the result. It was too rushed, but oh well. 

I am happy that they are basically done. I will spend a few hours tonight before bed touching up each model and basing them with flock. I will likely end up redoing the sky blue as well. 

The only cool thing that came out of this was the model on the far right. 

I actually had a set of arms left over from Grimm (shooty dwarf guy). I decided to slap them on this model and he ended up looking badass. I will certainly spend more time with him later. 

I think if I make any more dwarf purchases, it will just be with elite units. I may end up getting a few copters and a few more boxes of Ironbreakers. 

Dwarfs (Warriors and Thunderers)

I received a Dwarf battleline last week. It contains 59 models. Battle forces and big boxes of models have a tendency to discourage me from painting. This weekend, however, I decided to tackle the box. 

I started by assembling the 20 warriors. 

Tons and tons of bits. I also realized that if I were to put the arms on, that it would be nearly impossible to paint their faces. This added a bit more time to the job. 

I then decided to put together 20 thunderers as well. The intention was to get them primed all at once. 

Then the priming started. 

Messy stuff. 

But it didn't take too long with the airbrush. 

I then applied Leadbelcher and Dwarf Bronze to a few pieces. 

The next step was a brown wash. 

This was the end of night one. 

The next day I started with a silver dry brushing. 

This is where I had intended to paint them 5 or 10 at a time. 

But once I got started on their beards, I just couldn't help but continuing. 

After I painted on the beards and skin, I decided to glue them all up. 

The next step was getting to the fabric and details. 

After a bit more work on Sunday and Monday morning, this was the final result. 

It was a long long long weekend of painting, but I am pretty happy with the results. 

These models are definitely not as clean or detailed as some of my other dwarfs, but the fact that I got 40 done in one weekend makes me very happy. These are just core units, so I don't think I have to invest too much effort into them. 

My next project will be finishing off the battleline.
