Dwarf Cannon 3 + Crew conversion


It is still so hot here ! So painting is no option.
That is why i converted the third Cannon and crew.
I placed a dragon skull on the Cannon from the Giant box.
The flames are from empire boxes. 
The bald dwarfs hair is from the beserkers box from Avatars of War.

This Cannon & crew will be the first in the Iron Hill army. ( grey bases )


Cannon 1 & 2 for comparison.

Paint Table Saturday 37th edition !


Paint Table Saturday 37th edition !


This week was not productive for me as the temperature is to high here to paint ( 30+ degrees ).
I managed to finish 6 Dwarf warriors ( based and all ).
The others will have to wait until the temperature drops, so the paint does not dry on my brush after a second.



Since I have bought 3 more sets of Dwarfs of 'Battle for skull pass'. 
So with the 2 sets, already painted, the total is 5 sets of warriors, thunderers & miners. I'm running out of ideas for converting. 
So all ideas are welcome !
So far i have 2 thunderers groups & planning to have 2 Quarrellers groups ( conversion at Paint Table Saturday 35 part 2 ). 
So i need one more idea for the Thunderers , 3 for the miners & 2 for warriors.

Hope you had a great weekend !
Mine was too hot !

Paint Table Saturday 35th edition part 2


Paint Table Saturday 35th edition part 2

I could not wait to start converting on the group of Thunderers.
And here is the result !
I turned them into Quarrelers using bits from the Quarrelers box.
I used a standard from the warriors box ( I think ).
And I used a horn from an old chaos miniature ( I needed a dragon like one to fit with the rest )
These are now ready to prime & then paint.
But first now are the warriors to paint.




Have a great weekend !

Paint Table Saturday 35th edition !


Paint Table Saturday 35th edition !

I've managed to buy some second hand Dwarfs from the battle for skull pass box.
( 12 warriors , 8 miners , 10 thunderers , cannon + crew , thane & slayer )
This is my third set of these Dwarfs & I converted them with bitz from the Ironbreakers box ( shields & standard ) and the Hammerers box ( hamer & axe-blades ).
I kept these warriors simple ( 4th set of Battle for skull pass Dwarfs also bought ).
Weapons are the same, just bigger axes
& diffrent shields. 
And of course a hero , musician and standardbearer to match.
This is my second conversion of these warriors ( first ones with flails ).
Next up : painting !

Does anyone have converting idea's for the thunderers & miners ?
