Want to make an Impression...use a Hammer

Dwarf warriors know well the value of a finely balance heavy hammer.

One solid smashing blow will impress even the most noncompliant foe.

The two end ones are more of the solid castings dwarfs from Heartbreaker's Leviathan range. The middle dwarf with the pipe is from their Kev Adams Dwarves.  I painted them in the 1990's.

I Command!

Kaz Kaz Dunn Karzumn Warchief of the Low King of the Dwarfs command legions of loyal warriors.

With his magic warhammer "Orc's Doom" and standards of command he has never known defeat.

Kaz Kaz Dunn Karzumn is a plastic piece from Games Workshop that I painted in the early 2000's.

Crossbows, not just for Tall People

 Four of the finest archers of the Low King of the Dwarfs ready their crossbows.

As with all dwarf weapons, these crossbows have been mechanically improved with the latest advances...

like these improved hand cranks to speed up there reload time.

I painted these metal pieces in the 1990's, they are very solid castings but I don't remember the manufacturer.  This is the first of a series of pictures of one my favorite fantasy armies-the Under Kingdom of the Dwarf's.

 

Found out through the good fellows at Lead Adventure Forum, that these were from Heartbreaker's Leviathan range (now sold as Scotia Grendel).

Warriors of Qin

Ranks of 1/3rd scale warriors of Qin (Ch'in for those over 50) Shi Huang di stand in the positions their full scale brethren occupied as they guarded the tomb of their emperor.  Qin Shi Huang di was the 1st Emperor of China and to protect his tomb he ordered more than 7000 life size terra cotta warrior's created.  These copies are located at the China pavilion in Epcot Center in Walt Disney World.

Marines...Disembark!

On a distant planet of the Imperium, Ice World Space Marines disembark from their Rhino APC.

Armed with rapid fire bolters and a hand flamer, these Space Marines are ready to defend the Human Imperium in the hostile recesses of space.

All are plastic pieces from Games Workshops Warhammer 40k line.  I painted them in the mid-90's.

40th Century Rhino

The Rhino is the APC of choice Space Marines of the 40th century.

Fast, lightly armed and armored, the Rhino is designed to move Marines in quick...

but are not designed to take on the roll of heavy AFV's.

This is a plastic kit from Games Workshops Warhammer 40k.  I assembled and painted it in the 1990's.

Scouts of Goth

Alerikk the Goth is the leading eyes of a raiding party that has crossed Roman frontier.

Joined by two brothers in arms, Elerrikk and Sven (some questionable parentage involved with the latter), the three scouts are tasked with finding a path to rich loot in the lands of the Empire.

All three are plastic 28mm pieces from Warlord.
