I didn't photograph these when I first did them for some reason. So here they are now.

This is the first Dwarf team I painted, all from Black Scorpion apart from the DR which is a converted Skaven thing I can't remember the name of.

Dwarfs remain my favourite race in the Warhammer World, and I've just bought my third and fourth Dwarf teams. I don't care, I'm a very bad player.

Slayers:

Blockers:

Final Blocker and Death Roller:

Runner and assorted bits:

Thanks for looking and sorry (not sorry) for all the bruises they've inflicted.

Wow I love the tones you've used for them! And the deathroller and slayer minis are awesome! Who is the producer?

They are from Black Scorpion Miniatures.
I also bought a team but didn't like the Slayers to be naked, what I haven't seen on the picture in their shop.

Death Roller is a Doom Flayer apparently, with the Skaven-esque blades and runes cut away and the crew cut off. Easy work on a resin model.
Not everyone's cup of tea but it works and fits snugly inside a square.

These are remarkable. I found them a real challenge. Just painted the linemen and found the faces a bit squished. You have nice fluid tones and layers though. Might have another go.

great paint job! I thought those Black Scorpion dwarves were a great team for the price, but I never pulled the trigger. I just couldn't get over the troll slayers with their cash and prizes hanging out...

this is the only team from black scorpion i don't own. i think they look great. very nice paint work.
hav'ng said that, the slayer figures are kinda goofy. mean to say, if there was only one place on my body i could cover, my junk would get covered.
but i quite like the team. and at the price they ask? good team and great price. :D

Great job on the painting, my only problem is those Troll Slayers should each have a blue testicle. :)

Very nice looking team, Congrats!

I tried that. They just looked a bit frustrated.

I must agree with the excellent painting!
Also, I quite like the sculpts (especially the Slayers... they have nothing to lose after all :wink:), but there is just not enough destinction between the Blitzers and the Blockers for my taste. At least not in an actual game where you look at them from a meter or more away...

What a beautiful team. I really like the colour scheme and your clean, subtle painting style. The highlights and shading are just right for my tastes.
