These do look very fun. Depending on my other projects I may end up backing.
Good luck with smashing your kick starter.

As a dwarf collector these KSs are all great but I'll wait for wide sale.
Plus they fit with my collection of older dwarfs from the '80s-'90s.

I don't think that he was being literal - and that it was meant as a compliment. These look a lot like the GW/Marauder dwarfs from the 80s and 90s - and those dwarfs are among my favorite miniatures of all time.

Its a bit hard to tell sometimes, with the internet being what it is!
Its good to hear your not the only one that has mentioned the Marauder dwarves from that period, Alessio must be doing something right.
The Black Knight has been unlocked and is a £5 add-on.

Only I have a KoW Dwarf army, I would definitely do a full Norman Dwarf Army led by Rollo.
Perhaps I could add a unit or two though especially if the vikings are cool scuplts.

Yes it is quite nice, as quite a few people liked the artwork some of it is now available signed by the artist!

I was thinking of using these with my KOW Dwarves, a mix of Norman and Vikings for me, but the WWI stuff is mighty tempting.
