Hello, I am looking for artwork for the Dwarves of the iron hills as described in the Hobbit; the book not the movie. Are there any reference pictures out there somewhere? "Each one of his folk was clad in a hauberk of steel mail that hung to his knees, and his legs were covered with hose of a fine and flexible metal mesh, the secret of whose making was possessed by Dain's people. …In battle they wielded heavy two-handed mattocks; but each of them had also a short broad sword at his side and a round shield slung at his back. Their beards were forked and plaited and thrust into their belts. Their caps were of iron and they were shod with iron, and their faces were grim." Thanks |

The Brothers Hildebrandt kept to the stories and descriptions pretty faithfully as I recall, but I don't have access to a collection of their art. |

Those were originally Vendel miniatures. They are now available from Sgt Major miniatures under their Bloody Day line. link |
