Dwarf High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer

On my most recent visit to Warhammer World there was the lovely model of the Dwarf High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer at Warhammer World.

Thorgrim Grudgebearer is the current High King of the Dwarfs and the ruler of Karaz-a-Karak. He is a throwback to the High Kings of old — eager for new conquests, mighty in battle, and a merciless enemy. Yet upon his worn brow, there also sits a pearl of great wisdom, and he is able to uphold the ancient traditions as well as to accept, if not embrace these needed changes, such as alliances and new technology. Thorgrim is forever brooding upon how to return his people to their former glory. As the ultimate ruler of the Dwarfs, the Dammaz Kron or the Great Book of Grudges is entrusted into his honourable keeping.

This model was painted years ago (years and years ago). Here is the same model from Games Day 2005.

This is an old classic Citadel Miniature. The background is a printed photograph.

Dwarf Defenders

A Dwarf defensive line.

These are very old Citadel Miniatures from the 1980s. If you look carefully you can see a couple of Bugman’s Rangers. A fair few are pre-slottabse, but have been based on slottabases for consistency.

The buildings are from Steve Barber Models.

Dwarf Steam Wagon

This really nice model of a Dwarf Steam Wagon is from Old Glory. It is armed with a large cannon, similar to the ones you would find on sailing ships of the line.

I originally purchased it to use within some Flintloque games.

As it is an all metal model, it is very heavy and weighty on the tabletop.

Long Drong’s Slayer Pirates

Long Drong’s Slayer Pirates are a Regiment of Renown. These are the ‘Eavy Metal versions in Warhammer World. I always liked the idea of these models, they are still available on the GW website

Space Dwarfs

Here are a couple of very old Space Dwarfs, which were from the very early days of Warhammer 40000.

There is a commander with power fist and one dwarf with a heavy bolter. These dwarves were in many ways like the Imperial Guard of that era but with shorter legs. As a result they weren’t as popular with gamers. They did evolve a little into the biker gangs (which I didn’t like) and then were unsummarily deleted from the range by Games Workshop.

Rumours abound that they are coming back… one day perhaps…

Chaos Dwarf with Bazooka

Old school Chaos Dwarf with Bazooka, this dwarf was released before all that top hat and bull nonsense that came later. These Chaos Dwarfs were like mini Chaos Warriors.

It’s from the days when Dwarfs did do magic and had wizards…
