THE OATHSWORN - DWARF SLAYERS
Once proud members of the Battlefury Clan, this group of Dwarfs have taken the Slayer Oath and vowed two things, to follow Logan Battlefury to the death and to ensure that that death comes at the cost of many Greenskin lives. Every member of the Oathsworn lost a great number of fathers, brothers, and sons during the battle of Jorgen Pass.

HISTORY OF AN ARMY:

While excavating further tunnels in Karak Norn, a group of miners discovered a small rune bound chest. The discovery was brought to the immediate attention of the King of Karak Norn, who then called his greatest Runesmiths together to decipher the ancient text that seemed to bind the chest closed. After several days of deliberation, which is very fast in Dwarf terms, the answer was that the chest was "evil". During the trials, three of the Runesmiths were severely injured, there minds reduced to childish gibberish. Recognizing that the chest could pose a great threat, but unknowing of the exact nature of the threat, the King of Karak Norn decides to dispatch a small force to take the chest to the greatest Runelord still living, Thorek Ironbrow of Karak Azul.

Hoping to not cause great alarm in his own kingdom, the King sends a summons to a remote clan, the Stonefists. Kalar Stonefist, leader of the clan, immediately dispatches his eldest son, Karal Stonefist and his best warriors and quarrellers to meet with the King. Once Karal arrives, he is given the chest and a sealed letter to present to the other Dwarf Holds along his route south, with specific instructions not to read the letter. He is also given a great cannon and contingent of the Kings very own body guard to ensure success of the mission.

Heading south through the Grey Mountains, it is not long before Karal and his contingent are set upon by a Night Goblin tribe, attacking with a fury and precision unusual for the greedy Gobbos. All may have been lost, but as the battle began to turn a roaming band of Slayers arrived, pushing the tide of battle back in favor of the dwarves. Soon, the Night Goblins were in a full route. After explaining his mission to Logan Battlefury, the leader of the Slayers, Logan agrees to stay with the Stonefists until the expedition is complete.

KARAL STONEFIST, DWARF THANE, ELDEST SON OF KALAR STONEFIST
Karal Stonefist, the eldest son of the King of the Stonefist Clan Kalar Stonefist. Karal, a mere 108 years old, has been given a critical mission by his father, Kalar. He was tasked to travel to Karak Norn, retrieve a package from the king of Karak Norn, then proceed to travel to Karak Azul to present the package to Thorek Ironbrow for examination. A simple box inscribed with one glowing rune... Along with thsi the King of Karak Norn also gave him sent with him 10 of his best warriors, from his own personal guard (The Gryphons Talons), and a letter that he was told to present to each King that he came across on his way to Karak Azul, but oathsworn not to read himself.

LOGAN BATTLEFURY, DWARF DRAGONSLAYER
Logan Battlefury, brother of Logrim Battlefury and the original heir apparent to the Battlefury Clan. Logan took the slayer oath many years ago, after fighting a decisive battle against a hording Night Goblin army. Outnumbered nearly ten to one, Logan and his father charged into battle knowing that victory was not possible. The Battlefury Clan fought valiantly, and somehow managed to route the Gobbo's, but at a terrible cost. Logan's father lost his life, as did three fourths of the remaining dwarf army. From this day, Logan and a handful of the surviving Battlefury Clan took the slayer oath, vowing to erradicate the Gobbo incursion into the kingdoms of the Dwarves.

BHALGUR'S SUREFIRES - DWARF QUARRELLERS
Bhalgur Surefire, another dwarf of a young age, being born the same year as Karal Stonefist, has quickly become one of the best and most reliable hunters of the Stonefist Clan. Not having a "proper" fighting force, Karal asked Bhalgur to gather his best hunters together to form a fine crossbow regiment. Bhalgur did this, and within a matter of hours the Surefires were ready for this grand adventure.

DREGAR'S TREESTOMPERS - DWARF WARRIORS
Every dwarf of the Stonefist clan, no matter his station, is required to have a proffession and to be a warrior. In times of war the Stonefist clan calls its levies together into loose groups of individuals. In this case, the tree cutters of the Stonefist clan have banded together under the leadership of Dregar Treestump when they heard of the expedition of Karal. Sharpening their blades for the journey, this group is anxious to prove its worth in battle.

DRAGON'S DEFENDERS - DWARF THUNDERERS
The Dragon's Defenders are a small detachment of marksmen, hired directly by Thorgrin Dragonsbreath, to defend the Dragon's Breath Cannon, allowing it to maximize damage on the battlefield and protecting it during transport.

THE GRYPHON'S CLAW - DWARF LONGBEARDS
The Gryphon's Claw is an elite guild within Karak Norn that comprises some of the mightiest warriors within the hold, all of whom are oathsworn to the King of Karak Norn himself and would gladly give their lives in his service. The King has granted this small contingent to protect Karal on his quest, knowing what few other Dwarfs know, that the outcome of this mission could very well be the end for what remains of the Dwarven Empire.

THE DRAGON'S BREATH - DWARF CANNON
The pride and joy of Karak Norn, the Dragons Breath is the oldest and still the most reliable cannon still in service. Led by the Engineer, Thorgrin Dragonbreath, this Cannon and its crew have turned the tide of many battles to the favor of the Dawi. As a final gesture of faith and confidence in the mission, the King of Karak Norn has gifted the use of the cannon for the duration of his quest.

Woah, it all looks really good! I cant wait to see some shots of the entire army when its done!

I always loved seeing fully-painted Dwarf Armies.

They're lookin' absolutely fantastic, keep it up!

Oh, he has a sword! What a characterful miniature.

Fantastic paint job sir, that is one stunning army.

Once again Mousekiller, your fantasy work impresses. It makes me so nostalgic for the Eavy Metal and Blanchitsu pages of old White Dwarfs with your subtle colours and realism.

A pleasure to look at and as with the other armies, great to watch unfold.

I am a shameless fan mate.

You sir, are a god!

Fantastic job on that dragonslayer! That's the first time I've seen someone take the time to make a dynamic dwarven model, and the results are brilliant.

I had to admit, I almost skipped this thread because I misread the title as "Mousekiller's Dwarven Thong".

Whats the base for the Dwarven hero?

Great work! I somehow want to do a Fantasy army now...

I think awesome is the word.

I agree, that's looking great.

The dwarf with the telescope is almost coming to life!

Looking good.

It's always interesting to see old and new models meshed together this well...

BARDAL THE MAD

One of the runesmiths tasked with testing the rune bound chest in Karak Norn, Bardal was once the head smith of the clan. During the final attempt to break the bindings on the chest, Bardal and two other runesmiths were hit with powerful enegy from the chest, wiping there minds free. Bardal now can speak only in gibberish, but the one phrase that continues to come is "He is coming!". Where once he wielded proud hammer and pounded runes against anvil, Bardal now wields a field scythe and somehow maintains much of his power, carving intricate runes into the earth itself. After the expedition left, Bardal followed and continues following, though for reasons of his own imagining he stays hidden in the shadows, unbeknownst to the Dwarfs he follows.

COMPLETION.... that is to say... a drop in the bucket of what needs to be done overall...

Anyway, the cannon is done. I have updated the beginning of the thread (as I always do, I go back and edit in the completed photos from the beginning) with A LOT of pictures of the cannon and a bit of history on this cannon. I am going to post some pics here just of the overall model, but if you want to see it in more detail scroll back to the beginning of the thread and scroll down to where the cannon is, and if you haven't seen the rest of the army you can check them out as well.

Fantastic, the bases really take the models to the next level

I'm tempted to try the little fellows myself now

wow I doff my hat to you sir truly amazing painting

That's truly incredible. The whole package... story, theme, colors, consistency, basing & painting. Wow!

Awesome stuff! It's great to see so much attention being paid to the bases... it's something I'm really bad at. The painting is pretty good too

It's also making me regret selling my Dwarfs
