From TeemuL - 28mm Dwarf Bolt Throwers (50 points)

At the start of the Challenge, I planned to paint 2 (or maybe 3) models a week and the bonus rounds. That was what I thought manageable with my current hobby time. So how in the earth I'm painting two war machines with crew of three for each in one week? Both of the war machines are different and all the crew are unique, so that's not helping either. Somehow I managed to have quite a lot of hobby time (and little bit less sleeping time) during the week and weekend and I got them finished. Without the schedule, I might be fixing and painting them forever. However, without the schedule they wouldn't be this ready, so I'm quite happy with the result. And in the end they don't look that bad. :)

In the opening post I wrote, that I'm planning to play some Warhammer with 5ed rules and I'm lacking firepower for the "good" side. These two dwarven bolt throwers will give a nice fix for that problem. Some time ago I bought a mixed bag of dwarf war machines and dwarf miniatures. There were two and half bolt throwers and random set of dwarfs mostly unrelated to warmachines. As you can see from the war machine design, they are Old and Older. The crew on the other hand is mostly Incorrect, some Newer and one Right. As the war machine crew members need to operate the machine and defend it, there's no problem having some warriorlike dwarfs there as well. And if I happen to get proper crew members in the future, I can always reassign some of these to warrior regiments or something.

I have not based the warmachines, although the Older design has a base. I don't know how these might work with later editions of Warhammer, but at the moment I don't care. They are quite simple looking and the paint job follows closely the design... They are mostly wood, so that's what you get.

The first two crew members are real Bolt Thrower crew members, but from a Newer edition, 6th I think. These two are manning the Old Bolt Thrower with the third guy, who is older and I think it reads Bumbo and 198? or something in his base. I mean the dwarf with the axe.

The first of the Older Bolt Thrower crew members is actually an original crew member of the Older Bolt Thrower. The second one is Officer from the 90s I think, don't know much else. I started to think that he might even be a Chaos Dwarf from the non-Big-Hat era, because that crownlike hat doesn't look that dwarfish to me.  Third one is probably some kind of a criminal, because all the identifications were filed off from his base. He is old one, no doubt, the metal looked old and I haven't seen scale armored dwarf in a while.

As I said, the "crew members" of the bag were not really crew members, so I went through my dwarf models and picked some suitable looking guys. I need to browse through the solegends and other sites to find out who they really are. All the help is appreciated, so if you know some of three unknown, please drop a comment.
Edit: The villain is a Norse Dwarf from 1988, by Perry Twins - thanks Steve
Bumbo is Bumbo (or Gomorax by other name), an Imperial Dwarf from 1987, by Perry Twins as well - you can by your own Bumbo from ebay at a modest price of 24GBP... 

And of course, the pictures are bad, it's winter here, it's dark in day time and it's almost midnight now...

They are all 28mm Citadel/GW products (not sure about the "criminal"). 6 foot figures is 30 points and two crew served weapons is 20 points. That's 50 points unless some are deducted because of the lack of the basing. Anyway, those points should keep me in the top half of the challenge and I can focus on the Epic Fail bonus round.

I love these very colourful Dwarves - you've done a great job of finding figures to stand in for actual crew members. Nice work Teemu and, yes, these do score you 50 points.
