Andy updates his Dwarf collection.<\/em><\/p>\n

Over the past few years I\u2019ve picked up quite a few Games Workshop Lord of the Rings Dwarves at bring and buys and from E-bay. These will be opponents for my Moria Goblin collection. I have painted around half of them, time to finish the rest, in instalments.<\/p>\n

I use the Goblins and Dwarves with Osprey\u2019s Dragon Rampant more than the Games Workshop rules, so the unit sizes in DR will determine what I paint up.<\/p>\n

First contingent comprises five Khaz\u00e2d Guard, Gimli, and warrior supposedly with a double handed axe. The latter figure however was slightly damaged as the blade had broken off; so, he needed some remedial action. I thought the simplest fix was to cut a short length of matchstick, drill a hole in it to fit the remaining axe shaft and paint it up as a warhammer. As he will be a bit different to the other figures, I\u2019ll make him a Captain to lead one of the units of Khaz\u00e2d Guard, which in Dragon Rampant I\u2019ll treat as Elite Foot, needing a total of 6 figures per unit.<\/p>\n

I used short sections of matchstick to fill in the base slots where necessary, then added some 4Ground base render to level the slots up to base level, the bases were then given a layer of grit and sand mixed with PVA glue and allowed to dry. The figures were then sprayed matt black and the bases painted US Olive Drab and dry-brushed London Grey.<\/p>\n

The Khaz\u00e2d Guard and the Captain have a mixture of mail and scale armour. I dry brushed the mail with Silver, and painted the scale and helmets Bronze for the Guard and Gunmetal for the Captain. The armour was washed with AP Dark Tone. Tunics are Red, with AP Red Tone wash, boots and gloves German Camouflage Black Brown and belts Chocolate Brown.
\nAxe shafts Gunmetal and blades and hammer Silver. Pouches and beards\/hair are various shades of brown or black.<\/p>\n

As the Captain has a silver hammer, I think he should be called Maxwell.<\/p>\n

Gimli was painted in a similar way to the Guard, but he has a Light Brown tunic with detail shaded with AP Red Tone wash with a German Camouflage Black Brown jerkin. Red trousers and Mahogany Brown hair and beard.<\/p>\n

Bases were finished off with some static grass, and the figures matt varnished. <\/p>\n

For Dragon Rampant games I wanted a Dwarf Wizard, I found one as part of the Northstar Oathmark range, in a command pack that also contains a King and musician. Once I got these home, I found that they are little larger than the Games Workshop figures. Instead of mounting these on slottabases I use some thinner 25mm diameter washers to ty and disguise the height difference.<\/p>\n

These figures were painted in the same style as the Games Workshop figures.<\/p>\n
