Dwarf Sprue Pics

Ideally, I want something not too distant from this appearance.

Anyone done something similar or got some suggestions on how to proceed?

It did not look like what you want btw, but it was a cool little side-project I did for a evening...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/417827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/417827.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/417832.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/417832.page GMT
With time and effort the army can look amazing. He's won several best painted awards in Tournaments/Grand Tournaments.

He even placed exceptionally high in Bell of lost Souls design your own regiment contest. His were the Golgothan Brotherhood.

Essentially he used Dwarf bodies, Cadian arms, backpacks i think from the Cadian sprues, added searchlights to all their shoulders...and then greenstuffed visors on to them all, looked pretty sweet

He also did Exo-suits counting as Ogryns, made from terminators and heavilly coverted (think lowered, lol), and he modified his tanks to be all low profile.

Essentially for the tanks he removed the turrets and hull mounted all the weapons, then added a tonne of Dwarfish iconography.

And thats not even mentioning the tirkes he did for his Rough Riders, or the mole mortars, or the rapiers as autocannons, etc, etc...

Take some time, play with the sprues a bit, the army is a great oppurtunity to show off modelling skills (trust me, it takes a tonne of conversions and $$ to make the army look nice )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/418232.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/418232.page GMT
Currently I'mm looking at scratch building a Land-train and maybe one of the larger vehicles, maybe a Leviathan. Comparisons within the epic rage make me feel the table area of the Leviathan is not much greater than a baneblade, perhaps half as big again.

But before I get ahead of myself with scratch building vehicles I'd like to start with a box of dwarf figures to get myself in the mood.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/418999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/418999.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/419136.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220881/419136.page GMT IIRC without the horns some helmets (thunderers?)look like WWII french army helmets. Also as you pointed out GS the chainmail to longcoats and the helmet faceplates to high tech visors.

Don´t use Cadian arms unless you cut them a little bit, too big for the mini, if using thunderers a straight weapon swap might do the trick.
