This entry is a single Dwarf Lord from GW. He was painted to accompany the two units and two artillery pieces that I finished right before the Challenge. The units were Ebay re-paints so wouldn't count and the artillery were sitting there mocking me and needed to be done.
I had not planned on painting this guy but I pulled him out to use in role playing and he is such a handsome model that I just had to throw him in.
His beard is truly massive, as is his axe. The helmet is amazing. The sculpting on the face is phenomenal and represents GW at its very best.

That is a great dwarf with a suitably noble proboscis. I particularly like his moustaches flowing around his great-axe and his Sutton Hoo-esque helmet tucked under his arm.
Good one!
First the Blood Bowl team and now this little gem! Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evan. He practically painted himself. None of the hard thinking that goes into so many models.
DeleteGreat first entry, always like a good dwarf

Cheers Ian.
DeleteWell done Aaron
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter.
DeleteDefinitely seeing that excellent sculpting in the face. Classic.
ReplyDeleteThe face is really amazing. Perhaps my favorite face sculpt ever.
DeleteOne of my favourite GW dwarf models, and you've certainly done him justice. Well done mate!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. I'm pleased with the result.
DeleteI like him. Very broody pose. The pictures may not be the best, as you say, but they show how you picked out the details in the sculpt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Padre. It makes me think of some old veterans that I know (or have become). It's a very believable pose to me.
DeleteOne of my fav GW dwarf scuplts. You've done a lovely job on him too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Millsy.
DeleteLooks great. I also have some WFB Dwarfs sitting out on my painting bench. I'm hoping to paint up a unit of Thunderers by the end of the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI finished one right before the challenge. They were old school metal scuplts. Very nice and characterful. I love the dwarf line.
DeleteVery nice, lovely figure!
ReplyDeleteCheers.
DeleteOne of my all time favourite GW Dwarfs and you have enhanced it with a top paint job well done
ReplyDeleteThank you James. I appreciate the sentiment.
DeleteHe is a handsome fellow. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rod.
DeleteYes, one of my favourite dwarf model too. Great brush work!
ReplyDeleteHe really is a great model. Thank you.
DeleteAnother post already? That really is a great miniature and you have done a stunning job - that looks like so much work for 5 points!
ReplyDeleteHe really is not a hard paint. Sometimes they just paint themselves.
DeleteWhat? Where can I buy these miniatures that paint themselves? The ones I bought have been sitting in the cupboard doing nothing for years.
DeleteExcellent work, very conveys the mood that exists in miniature.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex. I agree with the mood.
DeleteAnother little beauty!
ReplyDeleteCheers Clint.
DeleteGreat job, the armour is very nicely done. I also love this model, so full of character.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie. The armor is my go to. Steel with bronze highlights. It appears everywhere. I should probably consider learning another technique...
DeleteNice work on the face.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray. It's my favorite part of the model.
DeleteVery thoughtful dwarf. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate.
DeleteLovely work Aaron :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Tamsin.
DeleteA fine Gray-haired Dwarf lord. That helmet is excellent
ReplyDeleteThank you Adam. I do love the Sutton Hoo helmet on him.
DeleteGreat figure, nice paintwork on it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee.
DeleteGreat work on him Aaron!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite GW dwarf and I have one that has lead my dwarves for some time. I really dig his contemplative, stern look.
You really enhanced that vibe and a great choice for a RPG character too!
Thanks David. I'd have to be hard pressed to name a GW dwarf sculpt I like better. He was a lucky find on Ebay.
DeleteVery nice. I like a lot these models, so much character and axes!
ReplyDeleteA fine dwarf
ReplyDeleteDwarves rule! Great mini!
