"Need a Dwarf with a Morningstar" Topic

Anyone know where I can find a 28mm Dwarf miniature with a morningstar? Note: by morningstar, I mean a flail-ish weapon, like this:

Some folks refer to a mace with a spiky ball on the end as a Morningstar, but I want one with a chain.

As a guy who has butt-loads of Dwarf miniatures, I am having a really hard time finding one armed with this weapon, and it vexes me. Manufacturer is unimportant, as long as it's 28mm.

And yes, I know I can buy a weapon pack and convert a miniature, but I'm hoping to avoid that.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Denizen Miniatutes ( denizenminiatures.co.uk ) . Look for D12 or D18.

These are the same miniatures that were carry by Ral Partha ( imports ) in the 80's and still among my favorite dwarf figs.

Few of the figs are pictures but check the gallery for some samples.

try to find someone with those GW chaos marauders and get a spare one for converting .

If you go the converting route i have several to spare from the Fireforge games Templars

Chronopia dwarf range had some models (Dark Tusk clan Darkstar warriors?) with two-handed morning stars, but those tend to be a bit different in style from traditional dwarves.

If you have spare GW plastic dwarf somewhere, then the converting route (from chaos marauders or Fireforge knights) should be pretty straightforward.

That's the correct usage in historical terms. As far as I know, TSR or someone else in the mid 20th century got it all confused.

It's been a very long time since I've seen a mini maker advertise a flail as a morning star. They may advertise it as a ball and chain to be clear though. So, I'd suggest using those for search terms first.

How about this one it's oop but turns up on ebay pretty often

As FABET01 suggests, Denizen (which are 25mm)

or Prince August Warzone

I've searched in the Mithril range, but don't find (because he don't exist !) a Dwarf with Morningstar…
I've noticed that they use the term "Morningstar" for a Troll:
M48:

but it's not the model with the chain…

(I've this very rare figure and I can say that he's very impressive !)

Thanks to all. I wasn't even aware of the Denizen range.

I'm thinking more and more that it's going to be a conversion. While I like the Denizen range a lot, I would prefer a dwarf without a face-obscuring helmet. Not a fan of the Chronopia stuff for this reason too.

The Marauder dwarf is cool, but I'd prefer a one-headed flail and converting it might be harder than a simple weapon swap.

I'm fussy, I know. But this dwarf is supposed to represent one of my MERP characters from my youth.

Goodman Games.
Dwarf with the weapon you are looking for.

mace= stick with a heavy ball/thingy on end.

morning star= stick with a heavy ball/thingy on end with spikes.

a heavy ball thingy on the end of a chain is not a 'mace', but a 'ball and chain' (or a 'flail', esp. with multiple chains)

This leaves a heavy ball on the end of a chain with spikes undefined, but semantics would place this closer to a morning star than a mace (because it has spikes).

A warhammer with spikes on the end of a chain is a 'gobsmakspinktenflaler'…

DS6151: PERFECT!!!!! Thank you! Not wild about the shield device, but that's easily changed.

You'd be surprised how often it comes up in conversation.
