Dwarf Reinforcements: 3 mm

I mentioned a while ago that there were some more 3 mm models I wanted to add to my Dwarf army and here they are.

Some were just to even out the units, like the Shieldwall company in the centre of the picture above.

Some were the other way round like the 3 companies of Outcasts/Berserkers, as previously I only had one company and that is plainly not enough!

I also had fun making a Gyrocopter. I will make at least 2 more of these. 

The aforementioned Shieldwall. 

Two companies of Bear riders, new to the army as well. There will have to be more of these.

Finally a Steam Tank, which was fun to create and paint. Can't have Dwarves without a Steam Tank of some sort. At least one more of these will make an appearance.

I tried to take a close up with Macro setting on my phone.... but could not get close enough for it to kick in, sorry.

I enjoyed making these, its a good way of adding to an existing army without too much struggle. Seven companies are quite doable.

Thanks for looking in, keep hydrated.

 

Modular Castle for 3mm sieges

It felt right that I should make some more 3 mm terrain and so set about building a simple castle.

I built it from the card packaging Amazon use to send books or flat ish items.

Its not bad quality I often use it for bases on 3 mm or 10 mm miniatures. It s good because it holds glue well, especially PVA and is good to cut with a knife.

The company of Dwarf warriors is for comparison, not because I see this as a Dwarf castle, in fact I intend creating some flags so it can be used by all the armies. 

I can also see myself making perhaps one extra building for each nation to make the structure more "their's".

Had fun making this over the last few days and will be getting down to paint it shortly.

One thing I had to do today was to slide some 1p pieces into the interior of the wall sections, to give them a little more weight. Helped towards making the sections more stable on the tabletop.

From above....obviously. (forgive my stupidity, its beyond my control).

All separated out into it constituent parts, wont be hard to store as its so small.

The next 3 mm project I'll be posting on will be the Free Men 3 mm army for Fantastic Battles that I am in the middle of making. Well at least the preliminary companies for the army anyway.
