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

[Brother Meredith]

That ornithopter is amazing! Why have I not seen that before? Must add to my RPE wishlist.

Been looking at the Ral Partha Legacy site and their listing for the model https://ralparthalegacy.com/collections/dwarves/products/98-1274

They record the sculptor of both the craft and pilot as Steve Saunders, but for some reason the LostMini wiki has Bob Olley listed as the pilot sculptor on some pages… http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Fantasy_Armies_(FASA)#02-040

Don't know much about 'Steve Saunders' but there are 3 different pilots I know of and I don't think any of them are Bob Olley

 

[Brother Meredith]

Indeed, I wonder where this attribution came from…

 

[Grimfang Gogulk]

Some lovely stuff, great to see the progress! I especially love that 5th Ed cannon. Were some sweet releases there for Grudge of Drong. Him and the hammerers too.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Thanks! This is a big ongoing (out of control?) army project! Hope to get a few more units painted up this year. 😳

More recruits arrived in today’s post!



The poor old lads from @ManicMan must have been forced to march on their little legs from the South of England as they took a fortnight to make it here! They came baring stories about seeing off giants in red hampering their way…

when are you going to show what you picked up at lead & steel.

 

[Brother Meredith]

when are you going to shoe what you picked up at lead & steel.

A few more new/old recruits who finally made it from the continent thanks to @Ti Pouchon!

So Palldee (bottom right , broken hammer) is another Perry sculpt with “brewer” on the tab, there are a number of these which don’t appear to directly relate to the more famous Bugman’s regiment. Were they intended as a distinct range or just used an existing dolly and the tab wasn’t updated?
Does anyone have a full list of the dwarfs with brewer tabs? Perhaps compiling them will help answer these questions? Unfortunately Lost Minis Wiki doesn’t hyperlink this meta detail… http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=File:Citadel-D4-97-05.jpg

We touched upon this in your Buggy Bugman's thread. I think of them as later extras for Bugman's. There are a couple for the Dragon Company too.

Halfdan, Yak & Wounded from the WD97 D4 Adventurers release are very stylistically similar to the Bugman's regiment. Palldee (conversion of the regimental standard bearer?) too. He'd make a great Bugman's kegmeister with that mallet.

 

[Citizen Sade]

D4 Dwarf Adventurers: Yak, Halfdan & Wounded. You can just about make out 'BREWER' on Halfdan's tab.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Aye, would be handy to have a full list (not being an OCD collector or anything… 😅), but I keep an eye out for any others! 😉

 

[Rogue Blooper]

Are these gonna be the lot hammering my hobbits @Brother Meredith?

 

[The Serene Badger]

Citizen Sade beat me to Halfdan, but I don't know the rest

 

[Brother Meredith]

I will certainly bring my Slayers and hope to repair/paint a few of these chaps too!

Awesome! I tried buffing some of the halfling units in my army to slayer levels. It was like sharpening spoons.
