The Dwarves of Delveholme (Part I)


Among the stockpile, there's about twenty-odd dwarves awaiting some attention, between warriors and civilians. The first and fourth models are from Splintered Light's Dwarf Treasure Hunting Party. This is a great little pack which seems to draw a bit of inspiration from The Hobbit, note the mini-Gandalf above.

The second and third models are from the same company's Dwarf Adventurer set, which cover all the roleplaying classes.

The last dwarf is from Ral Partha's Questing Heroes. The scale mismatch is actually disguised by his armour and he blends in perfectly.

The "Gandalf" looked a bit plain in his initial plain grey robes so I gave him some orange trim. I had Rincewind in mind as I did. Must keep an eye out for a suitable wizard mini for that particular gentleman.

The armoured dwarves are quite straightforward. Paint metal, wash metal, great success. The photo has highlighted some little areas that need retouching though.

The civilian with the torch really let me happily mess around with colours as there were a lot of little details to pick out. There's something very satisfying about the Treasure Hunter sculpts, more of those on the way.
