Dwarf Miners

Having bought some metal models recently from Warhammer World, I have been thinking about how I could build my Old World Dwarf army. There are plenty of plastics now available, as well as some metal models.

This was very much an impulse buy. I was in my FLGS looking at the shelves across The Old World range and decided I would get some dwarf miniatures.

I went for the Dwarf Miner box, which gives you twenty miners and four miner’s carts.

Dwarf Miners often join their brethren when they march to war. As a point of pride, they wield the same heavy, two-handed mining picks and mattocks they use to carve out tunnels, rather than the axes and hammers typically favoured by other Dwarfs. They are accompanied into battle by sturdy wooden carts drawn by rugged draft ponies to ensure they are properly equipped to face the trials that await them.

I like the candles on the helmets, but in reality how long would they stay alight on the battlefield? You get four large sprues and a bundle of bases in the box.

I am planning to paint them in the same way as some (metal) Dwarf Miners I painted a while back, a long while back.

I am thinking I might have to go to the eBay to get some OOP miniatures.
