Miner's Report! (Part 2)

I keep doing this: I set up a new 'series' or 'thread' as a Part 1 post only to  have Part 2 never materialize or show up extremely late. This is one of the later examples but this one isn't nearly as late as some other examples we could find on this blog. But, hey, at least I get back around to these things eventually. And that's what we have here today, an update on my Dwarf Miners. 

Command section.


Back in Part 1 I had made the statement that I was probably going to paint over all of these guys, but I had a change of heart when my young daughter said how much she loved the dwarfs with the pink beards. So I opted to keep the beards as they were: metallic pink. I think they turned out OK, but my daughter thinks they're the best thing ever so, who am I to challenge a 4 year old girl's innocent perspective?

The full line of eight.


With those guys as finished as I felt I was going to get them, I turned my attention to the two metal guys that I was going to use as filler to get the unit up to a ten man dwarf squad. But they look radically different. They project a completely more hardened vibe. And they look better. So, after I finished these two chaps I decided that I am going to track down more of these metal dwarfs to make a whole new unit out of them. Gee, I think the whole "dwarf miners" theme is starting to dominate my dwarf army. 

Two metal guys (cue bad-ass guitar solo).

Ok, I got to ask: does anyone know if someone out there has ever painted any dwarfs (dwarves if non-GW) in Disney's Snow White color scheme? Not that I want to do it, I'm just curious...
