Hello Brothers...

As a former D&D player I am a huge fan of dwarfs who don’t look like gnomes =D

There is a lot about personal style on this comparison, but for my taste the mantic dwarfs are the better option on market (at least as cheap plastic guys). The first time I crossed with GWs Dwarf Army book, I loved the ilustrations of bold, stubborn vikings, but feel disappointed when I finally see the respective models. They looks like Asterix HQs...

GWs dwarf are great for gnomish guys, but they don’t looks like prideful, ale drinking, strong as stone warriors.

Mantics models have a some hard problems, like the "I’m staring at the floor" pose (wich I hope to correct with carefully painting), and the triangular shields (dwarfs must use circular shields), but those are minor mistakes.

That is a matter of taste anyway, but I like them…
