Demonworld Dwarf Army

I figured that a "ranged combat" type unit could be useful to a Dwarven army, so I invested in some crossbowmen. The crossbowmen were painted by Bohdan Pirgatch of Old Guard Painters. (I still need to base them.)

I have no idea if this unit will be useful - but when I saw it, I knew I had to have one!

I didn't want to spend a lot of points on a general, but I was required to take one with at least a ** command rating. So I picked Argam Rustbeard. It also seemed like a good idea to take some magic along, so I paid the points for Thorbal, Servant of Fire. (In Demonworld, Dwarves don't have mages, but they do have Fire Priests.) The leaders were painted by Gary Leitzell, a professional painter. I still need to base them.

I dislike armies that are made up solely of "star" units, so I made sure to include some "plain Jane"-type infantry. These miners are basically Dwarven militia, called up from the mines to defend their realm. The miners were painted and based by Rusty of 4 Demons Painting.

Since I had two conventional infantry units, I wanted to choose something "splashy" for the third. The Orc-Slayers drew me in because of their background and their look - sort of Celtic Dwarves, wild folk, seeking to avenge their clan against the Orcs! The original artist dropped the ball (and kept the figures...), but Philgreg Painters completed a second set for us!

Our Dwarven mage can summon a Fire Elemental, so we'll need one of these.

I wanted to give the army at least one big "monster" type combatant, and eventually settled on a Rock Giant (the largest giants available to a Dwarven army). It was painted by J. Ira Monroe of Bwana Art Studio.
