Fallen Dwarves Head South from Miniatures of the North
October 11, 2012 by brennon
Some deadly looking Dwarves are heading south from Miniatures of the North. Both Crossbowmen and Command models are soon going to be available. Check out the miniatures and see what you think of these cutthroat fellows...
The typical Babylonian style that is a common feature of 'Fallen' Dwarves has worked its way into these from Miniatures of the North too. While it certainly sets them apart from the typical Dwarf it might be nice to see someone actually do something different with the idea. That's not to say that these more TRU-Scale Dwarves are bad looking, but it might be fun to try and work out how else to do 'evil' in these bearded fellows.
While they might not fit into most existing games they could be good alternatives for the Lord of the Rings Dwarves from Games Workshop.
What do you think of these folks?
What is it with Babylonian beards? The convention seems to have originated with GW so there is no real reason for it.
If they are truley fallen they would, (sit down Ben)…
SHAVE OFF THEIR BEARDS! *GASP!*
I know, I know, too horrendous but surely that would be the ultimate repudiation of their origins?
Curly wurly shiny beards are hard maintenance. So I am told. I definitely do not put my whiskers in curlers and cover them in boot polish. No sirree bob!
honest :*)
ps they do look jolly spiffing by the way
(The minis, not my non curled shiny whiskers)
I agree on the beards, surely “fallen” dwarfs would have ragged unkempt beards? That aside, they look great, and even if it really does bother you, greenstuffing a matted raggedy beard over the top should be easy enough.
It’s the Dremel for these boyos’ beards! Or else GS to fashion the curls into Chthuluesque tentacurls! lol
I agree though and do like the style of armour.
ha ha! That made me laugh, fallen so far, the beards came clean off!
