From ReillyOG - Dwarf Irondrakes(100 points)

Whilst not technically my first painting challenge, this is my first real go at one and I'm really happy with my start. Recently a small Warhammer 8th edition replay of the old "Grudge of Drong" campaign has resparked the love for fantasy and with it, my love for little hairy lads with big axes and even bigger tankards. So the first victim of  AHPC XI had to be these GW Irondrake Dwarfs. These boys in blue are joining my old school Throng of Zhufbar, made up of largely old 2000ish GW metals with this unit being the exception. These fellas really forced me to get in the zone as I had been challenged to a positively mahoosive game as a finale to our campaign but 48 hours after challenge start, and their presence was needed to hold the flanks.


The unit all squared up in its unit tray, eager to follow through on the ancient grudges

The new irondrakes charging the final chariot as they attempt to protect the rune-laden great cannon.

They hold the line better than most, most beasts of war flee at the sight of their flaming blunderbusses.

So there we have it, the first entry of many. 20 infantry figures in the unit at 28mm counts for 100 points total. Happy Painting!
