Drowning in Dwarfs

So, most of the guys at my game shop already know this, but in addition to my already formidable tau and black templar armies...I picked up a third. This time it's in warhammer fantasy, and I may have gone a bit overboard.

Most people start an army small and build up unit by unit. In fact that is how I built up my Templars and tau. But not this time. This time I had NTC coming and being gone from the hobby for the next month and a half only meant I had like 4 paychecks for minis all at once. I found great deal after great deal and soon had a whole dwarf army before I even started assembling them.

How big an army? 200 dwarves. Exactly 200. Only cost me a total of around $380 so I wasn't kidding when I said I got them at great prices. Anyhow, I got pdf copy of the codex while I was waiting for my hardcover to arrive back home, then I spent the next month and a half in the desert writing out army plans so I could immediately start assembling when I got back. And now I am back...and here is what I have:


  • Dwarf Lord on Oathstone
  • Runelord with Rune Staff
  • Thane with BSB
  • Slayer
  • 27 Longbeards - 3 metal full command and 24 cloak bodies (BSB will attach)
  • 30 Dwarf Warriors - Great Weapons
  • 30 Dwarf Warriors - Great Weapons
  • 12 Dwarf Warriors - Hand Axes and Shields (Auxiliaries to Longbeards)
  • 20 Quarrelers - With Great Weapons
  • 20 Quarrelers - With Great Weapons
  • 14 Thunderers - With Shields
  • 28 Miners - With a Blasting Charge and Steam Drill
  • 2 Cannons - Crew plus Engineer (8 total)
  • 2 Organ Gun - Normal crew (6 total)
  •  Master Engineer - Kitbashed from last crewmember and bits 
So there I am, a whole dwarf army. Just recently started and my thumbs already have the cut up pleasure to prove it. Further posts will have pictures of the units as I progress and I will even do a basing tutorial for the cobblestone them I am going for, trays included.
