The Dwarf Fire Thrower

56 points for a couple of dwarfs. At the beginning, painting this team seemed a good idea to achieve more quickly my 2013 objective of a 1000 points dwarf army... How wrong I was!

I had to paint the loader twice because I couldn't get a satisfying color for his coat: first white, then black, then a kind of orange (ugh) and finally red and white. And once the models were fixed on their base, I realized that the highlights on the helmets were not oriented exactly in the same direction... so I had to unglue them to rework the NMM parts on the gunner.

So, after too many hours for only two miniatures, here is the final result... I have brushed the base, the gunner and the cannon with black pigments to represent soot and I don't know if I'll get a better result with my second team (if I ever try to paint these models again!).

  1. A definite labour of love then. You've beaten me to it again, I've got a set of these, in storage though. I just wish I had the same production rate! Great job.

  2. Ton NMM a un côté martelé du meilleur effet :)
    Le servant a une mine bien trop sérieuse pour un nain Citadel, marrant...
