New Black Scorpion Dwarf Team

Post by axiom »

To be released at Salute:

Team - £22 for 11 figs

Linemen - £9 for 5 figs

I'd need to see closer pics before making my mind up, but they look OK; not sure what's going on with the chaps with the tall headgear - supposed to be slayers?

That's probably it.
Then Runners without helmet, Blitzers with face mask, and the rest of them should be liners.
They seem a nice alternative to the current ones but as you've mentioned close ups may help decide.

nice to see BS doing more FF stuff..

my only issue is the team doesn't look very coherent.. the slayers have some Spartan thing going on, the linemen and blitzers almost look like Chaos dwarves with their curly horns and scary facemasks..

nothing wrong with the sculpts per se, and I'm sure a matching paint job would help.. :-?

they might be a nice mix with the Warlord female minis, where again I liked some of their dwarves but not all of them..

anyhoo, already have 2 Dwarf teams and I don't like resin, so not likely to buy 'em..

I actually quite like the look of them and a nice price tag to go with. My only issue is trying to convince my other half to let me buy yet another team

I think they are quite nice, except the Slayer types which I agree seem a bit weird. If I was to make a dwarf team in the near future I think these would be my pick as I am not to keen on the GW ones.

I think those Slayer guys might be nekkid...

Love 'em. Don't need a sixth Dwarf team though.

did you need the 5th one out of interest?? :roll:

I think you have an un-natural interest in small, hairy, beligerent types, which is another reason I no longer attend Tulips TBH.. :P :lol: :wink:

They look pretty fantastic to me, though I'm also a bit unsure on the slayers without a closeup at least.

Also love some of the pirates that they seem to have on their site.

Great looking figures at a great price!
I just... I like but... I mean...
IF I ever get a Dwarf team, I probably want this one. If.
But I DO like the minis!

For the price, a very nicely done team. However, the big hat slayers are looking really weird....

Kick off return was my idea :)
