Norse Dwarves: are they Norse or are they Dwarves? Yes.

Post by Pitch Invader »

One of my last teams is a double-dip team, Norse Dwarves, so with a few extra minis I can run them as either a Norse team or a Dwarf team.
Most recently I ran them as Norse because I can't resist playing a team with a Big Guy just for the visual appeal of a center piece.

Maybe since they could be Norse Heff won't have to automatically hate them- only hate them half the time :wink:

and a few linemen/blockers:

Forum limits the size, so maybe hard to see the whole team picture, but can see it full size & some other detail shots here:

Beutifully painted Norse, I like.

Horrible Dwarves, I hate.

Do a couple more wearboars/hobgobblins and an extra deathroller/bull centaur and you would have chaos dwarves, I would like.

So currently 50% approval with an option to go to 67%.

If you cannot stall out for an 8 turn drive to score with dwarves then you need to go and play canasta with your dad..if you can find him.

As always, a laughing ferret epic paint job.

Amazing troll, His eye is very well done !

As norse, they are perhaps a bit unappropriate in term of roleplay. A norse of this size won't survive very long in snow ;)
But in term of gameplay, there is no problem in both team, all positionnal can be very easily identified.

The eye wasn't too tough. Light color for the eye, shade it for darker for closer to the lids, mid blue iris,couple lighter shades of blue inside that circle for variation and to get that 'wolf eye' look of a darker ring around the outside of the iris, and darkest for pupil.

You sir are brilliant! A triple-dip team. I have some confrontation minis set aside for the majority of a new Chaos Dwarf team (for someday in the future) but I really like these boars and will definitely get some more and make the CD option for the team. Hmm.. have a slightly different ideal for the Bull Centaurs- not sure when I'll get to expanding the team, but stay tuned- it'll happen.

Forgot to include, the prone/stun marker I made for the snow troll, since he is far too big to lay down on the pitch!

Can't really say I'm a fan of the miniatures, but the paintjob is flawless. Well done
