These things are probably one of the best plastic sets I've seen in my unadmittably many years of wargaming. Seriously, I've been painting mini's longer than it takes most people to go through three career changes and I've still never had a plastic set this good. One of my favorite parts is that it doesn't seek propriety. This set knows its audience and embraces it with pieces like hands giving the bird, various fists clutching mugs, and very characterful faces. I'd love to find some issues with this, as I am a curmudgeon in most respects, but all I can do is write a glowing review and ask you to question your humanity if you have not yet snagged one. GW's pockets may get a bit lighter if Avatars of War continues on this path.

I have to agree that these are some excellent dwarf miniatures. Some of the best I've seen actually. The molding is very well done and finely detailed. My only complaint is that many of them are wearing loincloths or the like, which is not a look I prefer. Pants are easily molded on however and that's what I've done with some. I do like how most have boots on...I've never been a fan of the barefoot dwarf that GW puts out. Once I do a bit more assembly I'll post some pics.

Can you please test if the heads fit a Space marine? I want to use the heads and hands for making special Space Wolves

I think they are a little too small in my opinion. It may be possible to use greenstuff to make them look good but would be a bit of work.
