That's a threat

 

Precisely! Take no prisoners! #mentalwarfare

 

So your saying we should be homicidal maniacs andkill them all?

 

That seems pretty fitting in the Warhammer universe!

 

You really are a chaos spawn

 

fixed that for you ↑

 

They are only a thin line from each other mate

 

True... the same thin line that separates insanity and genius.

 

Lol, Stunties aren't very tall, they have to stand out somehow!

 

Extremely embellished wargear

 

They do have the bling (Runes)!

 

Sometimes even hammered into thier flesh (ow?)

 

My Irondrakes are primed and I have the unit champ painted. Just 9 more to go!

 

Cool beans.

My only issue is that they look very dark. The paint scheme I mean. So things like beards and flesh get muted into the armor

 

Personally, I like the dark look. It makes better aesthetic sense in terms of Dwarfs living underground.

 

Yeah, that's kinda what I was going for. I wanted to stick to earth tones (seeing as how they mostly dwell in the earth) as much as possible, as well as metallics. The usual bright blues and greens that so many use, just don't feel very "Dwarvy" to me. Meh, to each his own.

The dark bronze (Tin Bitz actually) is to set the unit apart from the rest of the standard metallic colors as well as represent their "Forge-Proven Gromril Armor". The red is my main army color, so each model has at least some representation of it on their body, and the gold is highlight. If you put them up next to other units, (Dark Grey for Longbeards, Standard Metal for Ironbreakers, Dark Red for Hammerers, and other similar color schemes for other individual units, it works rather well.

As far as the beard colors, I mix 'em up. Just so happens that this guy is the only one who's beard is actually showing. I didn't over think it and just went with back that is slowly turning grey (indicating his age and experience).

 

I like that concept and you were successful in its application because that was immediately the impression it gave me.

 

Awesome! Thanks, Nightbringer!

Here's some more progress:


I'll try finishing them up tonight.

 

You work fast my friend. Great progress.

 

Well, I have good motivation. I have a game coming up Saturday and I'll be using this unit.
