Looks better than anything I have ever achievedThe bold headed dwarf is by far the most challenging greenstuff I've ever tried but I'm hoping it will look good when completed and painted up.
I bet it will not be noticable as a conversion once painted among the rest.twisted moon

I recently found an old Bood Pony that I was halfway through converting and decided to use it to test my sculpting skills. It was missing all its legs and its tail so I was unsure if I would be able to finish it but luckily I was able to do a decent enough job that once painted you can hardly tell the difference.
The greenstuffed model
Painted up
As with previous dwarf cavalry I wanted to give the impression of movement and happy with the look and feel I was able to get in to the model.

So way back when I first started this Bood Dwarf army I was always trying to find a nice two handed weapon I could use. Back then I ended up with a Dane axe type weapon I made from a piece of plastic rod and an axe head from some manufacturer but was never really happy and was always looking for a nice alternative (you can see some examples on a previous page). Anyway fast forward to a couple of days ago when I came across a model on Instagram and a reference to Fireforge weapon packs, a quick look and then a visit to ebay and I had a pack of Bardiche weapons heading my way. They turned up today and couldn't resist taking a few of my older models removing the axes and having a little play around. I really like the look but would be interested in others opinions. They may be slightly big for dwarfs ?

Sorry, ManicMan, but if these are supposed to be axes, I indeed would say they are too big, even for double handed ones.
They look good on the models though, if you call them halberds, in my opinion.

I think they look great as polearms, and such dwarfs look good with polearms!

Oh, these just keep getting better and better. I love the resculpted nose of the fellow on the pony and the bald headed fellow looks especially nice plainted up. Great work! And they look absolutely lovely as an army.
