Heartbreaker Dwarves – Tale Of The Evil Eye

For full post see link


Welcome dear readers to another episode of the Moria Reclamation Project. In this tale of bravery and probable woe, we introduce dwarves sculpted by Kev Adams back in the day for Heartbreaker Miniatures. While Kev is universally known for his Orcs and Goblins, I have to say, these characterful dwarves are full of everything that is dwarfy and good! Pics and words follow, on to the adventure!


picture

Twenty doughty warriors from the Heartbreaker Clan

picture

The pointing fella is Prince Helfast of the Heartbreak Hills, and behind him is his perpetually pipeweed smoking counsellor, Thadar the Wise.

picture

The other pointy fellow here, is scout Garric the Ham-fisted.

Scout Garric: "Prince Helfast, Moria is thataways! The clans have taken level 1 and 2. They report little resistance, but have sighted greenskins and night elves watching them as they build their colony."


Prince Helfast: "Thadar, assemble the troops and prepare to march to Moria!"


Counsellor Thadar: "Time for roll call!"

picture

Counsellor Thadar: All right, heartbreakers, you're a team and there's nothin' to worry about. We come here, and we gonna conquer, and we gonna kick some, is that understood?

picture

That's what we gonna do, sweethearts, we are going to go and get some. All right, people, on the ready line! Are ya lean?

picture

Get on the ready line, Marines, get some today! Get on the ready line! Move it out! Move it out, goddammit! Get hot! One, two, three, four! Get out, get out, get out! Move it out, move it out, move it out! Move it out, move it out, move it out! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven! Yeah, absolutely badass! Let's pack 'em in! Get in there!

picture

What's this? Its Prince Ulther with a very precious shipment of beer. And not just any beer, its Bugmans Beer! The dwarves greet each other warmly!

picture

With such a mighty escort of warriors, surely the Beer Cart will make it to the Mines of Moria!

picture

But wait, what is the monstrosity ahead! Alarms! Fear, Fire, Foe!

picture

Its a Beholder! A dreaded Eye Tyrant, an aberration from another dimension.

Nice old school look to these dwarves – Kev did a brilliant job on them :)

I had a full Heartbreaker goblin army years ago.
Very easy to paint and looked darn good to boot.

Are they available anywhere?

Now those are real dwarves. I especially like the guy with the pipe! Thank you for sharing.
