So here are the first of the figures that I intend to keep - five thunderers & five warriors.

I am aiming for a specific look and feel to this army. Firstly snow. All the bases will have a
wintry theme. Not deep uniform snow more drifts and clumps as though the wind keeps moving it around.

Secondly the figures will have a very distinct colour scheme, about which I will divulge in later posts but what you see here is the basis for the army.

I've
kept to my usual painting style for these figures although there is a greater than usual reliance on the
GW washes.

Also I gloss varnished the figures and then applied a
matt coat (
Humbrol Mattcoat) over the flesh, beard and clothes.
Nice job ol' boy, despite their grotesqueness stumpys are always a favourite with me, those bases look awesome freeze the balls off of a lead dwarf. good luck with the new blog
