Dwarf Army - for BOYL, TOW and beyond - progress reports

Little more progress, browns and some Pale Sand to cover some mistake and lighten up the black prime that was insufficiently hit by the white zenithal spray.

Another closely fought battle at Powder Monkey Games, this time against a force of the undead lead by an ancient vampire and necromancer. Their shambling undead played the defensive and fortunately their magic rarely penetrated. My slayers charged up the board, but only smashed a unit and ghouls. My Runesmith made his debut and aided the unit of Quarrellers who fought off ghouls, direwolfs and monstrous bats! Zamuel Bugman lead his rangers up the board too, but the strength of the skeleton horde was too much and they were pushed back and whittled away by magic in the final turn. A close loss, but made up by the addition of a defector from Thain Gruu‘s army (perhaps he prefers our brewing!?). ;)

Few more colours laid down, also joined by a few other stunties who will comprise my BOYL-heim ranger warband.

Been a hectic week at work which has hampered progress and energy levels… but plan to make more progress in the morning
 
ah, of course. Just really reminds me of one I thought they did ^_^ which I thought I had.. well, not surprise they did a look-a-like ^_^
 
This evening’s TOW battle was against some sneaky Dark Elves! They were mainly on mounts and had dragged a monstrous sea kreature with them.
The battle started well, it seems Bugman’s have recovered from their hangover and almost took out an entire unit of elf crossbowmen in the first fire! Unfortunately it went downhill from there… My cannon misfired and blew itself up. Zamuel Bugman was too buoyed up with foul Warpstone and charged into battle with the kraken and was stomped to death. His Rangers attempted to rescue the head brewer, but were equally pummelled. The angry slayers charged up the battlefield and slew a number of cold one riders, but were unable to catch the cowardly unit as it retreated. The newly recruited Imperial hammer bearers were no match against the Elf general charging them in his chariot (remember to pack your shields next time lads rather than polish your fancy hats!).
Leaderless the wise Runesmith decided to concede defeat having been pincered atop a hillock leading the remaining quallerers…

Almost done the unit of skeletons! Few more freehand shield designs to complete, then weathering and finish off the bases!

I like these loads - fiddly little fellas them. Not quite skeleton horde (I think having separate hips and spine/shoulders wasn't actually that clever?)
Top work fella and I bet you got glooey fingers (my least favourite thing in the world)

These are the OG plastic Skelton sprues; single legs/bodies, separate heads and arms? The Skeleton Horde box came with reduced number of sprues and no horses compared to the later bigger Skeleton Army box. They are kinda delicate, but the plastic has sufficient flex to it. https://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Skeleton_Horde_(Citadel)

Let me sneak in to ask: I want to talk to you about some dwarves but I can't find how to start a private conversation in the forum (I'm either too new or you've restricted that). ;) thanks!
 
normally, move over username and click 'start conversation' BUT you might need to ask Eric about your age. Not saying you are too young or anything but yeah..

HAHA, that's funny (because I can't message him for the same reason... I'll have to highjack another thread by him). Thanks a lot!

To Brother Meredith: I forgot to say I loved your choice of the bleeding hearts on the shields. Chef's kiss.
