I recently spent some time on Ebay filling in some blanks in my Warhammer Dwarf army. While I was mainly looking for the elite infantry regiments I found a few deals on other models that I couldn't pass up.
This first regiment is ten of the metal Thunderers. I love these models and just had to have them when I saw them for a reasonable price.

There are four different sculpts in this set. Since I generally like to run my missile units in tens this is the perfect number. There are five firing and five at the ready.

The rear of the unit. |
These were really badly packed and came completely chipped and defaced. This required a complete re-paint of the regiment. This is the first time I've had an ebay buy that badly packed. On the other hand the price was a steal so I'm not too bothered with it.

I like the dragon barrel, third from left, the best, except for the silly santa hat. The sniper scope is also very nice and could be pulled out for a character or for RPGs quite easily.

The rear shot. The Santa hat is more obvious in this one. |
I don't really need any more Thunderers but, as I said, I love the sculpts so in they go. I am a fan of the plastic dwarfs for rank and file units but these metals are really lovely, an older style than the Dwarf lord from a couple of days ago, but still really nice.
Will you enter these repaints into your painting challenge?
ReplyDeleteJonathan, since they were already partially painted and I didn't bother with re-stripping them I finished them off before the challenge. It will be the same story with the next unit, which is 20 warriors.
