[WM] Hey Dwarfs Ho! & other stuff
« on: March 30, 2011, 04:43:43 PM »
Hi everyone!

Having finally painted my WM Dwarf Hammerers, I wanted to try out a friend's camera and took some pictures. Here they are:

Proud Dwarfs
 

Forward March!
 

Supporting Rangers
 

Rangers showing off
 

Flank Attack!!
 

Bases aren't quite finished yet, apart from that I'm happy (and finally nearing completion of my 3000pts. army...)

cheers,
M

Beautiful dwarves, kudos for completing an almost 3000p force in that quality!

Show us more! :D

Very nice! I really like the color scheme you chose they really make those units pop!

just wanted to show some of the buildings I made for WM (didn't want to start a new topic for it...)

     
(I put some DE to check the scale)

and in case you're wondering what they're for (the buildings not the unit ;) ):

 

close-up on the "stables":
 

main entrance:
 

I will post more pictures once the castle is finished (so long as I am happy with the result)

cheers,
M

Impressive buildings, what materials did you use?

Is the castle from Kalistra?

I am sure the dwarves look forward to defend this great stonework. :)

castle is from Kallistra, yes.

the roofs are made of thin sheets of wood (not balsa, but balsa'd do fine too I presume), while the "brick" walls were made from modeling clay - pressed flat, left to dry, and then carved the stonework with a tool. Found a tutorial for it on the Flames of War website (http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=110&art_id=708&kb_cat_id=24 - was done by casting the wall but it's more or less the same).

btw. here are some more buildings :)

 

these walls were made from something I don't know the English expression of - basically it's about 5mm thick, consists of foam with a thin layer of card on each side.
The wooden framework was made of wood, and the non-wood roof from old brush bristles.

cheers,
M

Foamcard or foamboard, and IIRC sometimes also Artistboard.
