Today we have Dwarfs!
A race that we have barely painted in all these 3 years as painters, something rare because Dwarfs are one of the most popular and classic armies in Warhammer.
We have two 4th edition war machines that belong to the same customer of these other 4 models painted in a previuos order. In fact we must take into account their antiquity and rarity because they are very hard to find and only preserved by collectors.
So welcome to a new Grupo Afternoon post!
You will be able to compare how the way of modeling has changed from the 90's: sizes, proportions, and esthetic has evolved. For example, just look at the Anvil of Doom which even has a comic touch with those huge standards and a Runesmith on it. The Catapult brings with its crew (a crew of 6 models!!) all kind of dwarfs, from the ones that are cooking the lunch to the ones that are getting ready the catapult mechanisms. They definitely have plenty of charm and a great amount of funny details which we miss today. No doubt: they are 100% Oldhammer. Do you want to see them? Let's go!
ANVIL OF DOOM
This Anvil of Doom has been painted with the same original scheme of colors than the one you can find in the 5th edition Warhammer Fantasy: Dwarfs codex. In concrete it is the Kragg's Anvil of Doom, one of the most powerful runesmiths. You can find more info here. Unfortunately, Games Workshop didn't included this character in its next editions.
The loyal protectors and bodyguards of Kragg.
The Anvil and Kragg overview. We want to highlight the multiple runes that you can see all over the anvil and the huge standards. Colors are very showy, specially for the combination of green and red, two complementary colors.
Here you can see better the standards They have been scanned and colored and have practically the same appearance than the ones of the original 4th edition codex. A great work of design made by our mate Borja.
DWARF CATAPULT
Another curious dwarf war machine. Its style is much more primitive than the present one and the crew wear more medieval clothes, inspired on the XIV century british army.
The catapult and its crew have a lot of small funny details. Here you can see the collection of Goblin limbs nailed to the catapult.
Another curiosity: this machine does not hurls rocks but...Goblins!!
The most funny model: these brave and strong dwarfs deserve to eat a proper meal after killing a nice pile of Goblins. What could be better than a roasted pig?
We don't understand very well what the first model is doing, but the second is guarding the catapult projectiles!
The other members of the crew in charge of the war machine.
Thank you for reading and see you soon with our next post!
