Dwarvember Week One

Dwarvember is officially underway! But we’re off to a slow start, so hopefully we’ll have more participants next week. I’ll continue to add more Week One submissions (should I receive any) to this post through tomorrow evening, so check back soon.

On with the show! First up is a Reaper Bones Dwarf from TMP’s 144artist:

You can find a link to his blog, Tactical Simulation Gaming, over in the sidebar. He’s got lots more dwarfs over there, including a Kings of War army he’s working on presently. I like the painting technique he used to achieve the look of the chest hair.

Up next are two from TMP’s Black Cavalier. First up, a Reaper Dorn Ironspike, a classic Sandra Garrity sculpt:

And second, an old Citadel Chaos Dwarf swivel gunner:

Well done, Black Cavalier!

And here’s one from TMP’s CBPill, a Dark Fable Egyptian dwarf:

Zartan of the Cobra Cult 1

I was unfamiliar with this line of miniatures until I received this submission, so thanks, CBPill! You can find his blog (Duelling Scrolls) over on the sidebar as well!

And lastly, here is my submission: my unit of Dwarf Warriors from the Battle for Skull Pass boxed set. Although some of these were painted last month, I finished the unit in November, so it counts! Sorry for the blurriness of the picture. I need photography lessons.

Next week I’ll submit an individual dwarf or two rather than a unit. Happy painting until then!

Dwarvember Returns

A couple of years back, fellow  (or perhaps former, he’s been inactive lately) TMPer Sam Sagace hosted Dwarvember, a month-long celebration of all things Dwarvish held in November. Basically, hobbyists were invited to paint at least one dwarf figure per week and post the results. But, since it doesn’t seem like Sam (or anyone else) has hosted this event since 2013, I’m humbly stepping in to bring it back. I need very little incentive to paint dwarfs.

Here are the “rules”:

Pics/links will be posted here every Saturday in November, starting on the 7th. So hurry up and get your dwarf painted! The other dates will be the 14th, 21st and 28th.

Dwarf miniatures may be from any company, and any scale.

Send your pictures or a link to your blog to angrypiper@angrypiper.com. I will post my own dwarf here, as well as any pictures I receive. I will link to your picture if you wish to host it on your own blog. And I’ll put a link to your blog on the sidebar for good measure.

First post is on the 7th, so get painting!
