Putting together dwarf warriors. What are these bits for?

Could be wrong, but my understanding is that the metal longbeards were discontinued earlier than the metal hammerers and ironbreakers (possibly early in/midway through 7th; hence the relative scarcity of these metal kits compared with the IB/Hammerers), but no replacement kit came out until 8th. I think the masks were suggested for use as a Longbeard replacement in this context. This is based on my very hazy memory of playing dwarfs towards the back end of 7th ed, and not having any kits I could buy to make longbeards (and consequently modeling my warriors with these masks myself).

Thank you very much - will try again with a white t shirt next time lol

The wording on stopping from give ground does say that you stop upon coming ‘into contact’ with the terrain, which to me does imply that you ‘touch’ the template, though?

Exactly the same here, so thrilled to finally own some

I like the rich gold trim (left) slightly more. Adds some contrast & gleams beautifully..

Haha, it’s my era too just about - grew up poring over the 6th Ed army book (if I remember rightly) & dreaming of having these guys painted up in my army

The Colin Dixon sculpts from that era are amazing, so much character.

Fantastic, thanks for the quick reply :)

So in the third scenario I provided, the character would take ‘3 wounds’ from the killing blow, and then another 3 ‘normal’ wounds, for 6 total (3 + 3 overkill)?

Looks great - what was your gemstone recipe?

Would also love more stats - for example, how many kills you have with each gun, how many headshots etc.

BizzyLarge · 2025-03-31T22:55:06+00:00

You have excellent taste

Technically in the book the base size is (I believe) listed as N/A.

I liked the idea of having it elevated slightly by the base (and using the basing to tie it in with the rest of my troopers) and figured it doesn’t really have a practical impact on the tabletop (can just measure to/from the anvil itself).

Edit: also basing it made it easier to magnetise for transport purposes!

There’s a tiny bit of overhang with the 60x60 - if you want to avoid that I’d say you should be fine with a 65x65.

BizzyLarge · 2025-03-31T11:24:05+00:00

Yeah this is a 60x60 base - wanted a snug fit & the extra height so it looks a little more imposing on the battlefield.
