This is a potential project I’m thinking about doing because I would like to collect all three types of Duardin. The ‘regular’ Dispossessed minis don’t really do it for me anymore. I find them too small and harmless looking these days, especially when compared to the more modern Age Of Sigmar minis. However, the longbeard/hammerer kit and the iron breaker kit? That’s much more like it! Bigger, chunkier, more armoured and more intimidating. Worthy to stand beside the Fyreslayers!

Also, the Viking style pointy helmets are a little bit played out too imo. I want to do something different. Luckily, the kit comes with just that, with the more interesting looking bucket helmets of the hammerers and irondrakes. So I’m up for some kitbashing!

Here are my questions;

If I was to take the hammerer/longbeard kit, and assemble them thus; hammerer/longbeard body, hammerer head, longbeard weapon and shield arms and iron breaker shields, would you guys accept them as regular duardin warriors? Are the iron breaker shields compatible with the longbeard arms?

Second, are the hammerer arms and ironbreaker/irondrake bodies compatible? See if I was making beefed up duardin warriors I’d need even beefier looking hammerers. Hammerers wearing plate mail with fully enclosed helmets.

Basically, how compatible are the longbeard and ironbreaker kits is what I’m asking.
