I already have a dwarf army project for the old world in a red/white and silver scheme.

But I got the urge to paint some dwarves differently the other night, ran with it, and now I have the following:





These are EM4 plastic dwarves with extra shields from the Wargames Atlantic Irish set.

My intention here is to paint a small army in this green color scheme, so I have an opposing force to demo kings of war with.

The name comes from the basic free-hand of a mountain range I did on the shields. I intend to use up extra shields on this project, and other bits like axe and hammer heads, and stuff like that.

Next 4 axemen added.

Nice job on these guys, the EM4 minis are great value. How’d you find the clean up? The ones I have are really tough to clean on the seams

Not too bad. A good hobby knife if your friend.

I cleaned the axe head, then the helmet. I worked down from the helmet on each side.

Less than a minute of clean up per model. Then, when painted, I cut the base down to size and glued it it on to the multi base.

Nice work on these guys and a good solid color scheme. I like the freehand sigil on their shields- well done! A bit of backstory without having to say a word.

Really simple too. I am surprised, as usually freehand is not my strong suit but those basic lines really do a good job.
