Hello all.
Continuing to build my Warhammer armies, learning and relearning many things as I go through the boxed sets.
With the dwarf army near completion, my final boxed set to assemble were the Dwarf Hammerers.
I have to say, one thing that has always impressed me about GW kits is the HUGE amount of extra bits you get. I realized that with the bits left over, I could go on Ebay and just get a bunch of the GW generic dwarf body plastic component, and actually get two or three more full regiments of equipped models from the left over bits. That's really the only component that is "missing" from GW's boxed sets. They give you enough bodies to do the 10 or 20 models the kit is designed for.
But they also give you like three times as many heads, arms, weapons and shields than is needed! You're left with a lot of really cool leftovers.
The Hammerers are great-looking models. They ended up ranking up fairly easily, however you did have to be very careful with the placement of the feet so that the hammer heads did not interfere with the models to either side of them. Not a lot of leeway if you placed them too far to the left or right on the base. "Front to back" ranking (models one behind the other) was much easier. No matter what angle the hammers were placed at, they did not interfere with the models in front of them.
As such they could be ranked up in two ranks like I've shown here, and they could be ranked up in a deeper column or block formation.
