Hey guys, Ive just started collecting some dwarfs.
So far I have some miners and a hero! Slow but steady, isnt that the dwarf way?

Be keen to know any advise you guys can give me when playing them.

Grab the Battalion box its always a good way to start off. Best place to go for advice is bugmans brewery lots of stuff on there about Dwarf tactics etc.

Look into the Battle for Skull Pass box set too. Its a nice cheap way to build your numbers a little, especially if you can go in halfs with an O&G player.

There seem to be a lot of them on trademe (like your ebay) but im not too sure.
Are they different to normal released models?

Yeah a little. They are one piece for the most part. I've picked up two boxes just for the extra models, I just mix them in with the rest of my models. Here are a few examples of what comes in the box:

Cannon & Crew from BfSP

Dragonslayer from BfSP

Thane from BfSP

Thunderers from BfSP(All but the two end figures in the front rank)

I'm selling a lot of my Dwarfs on Trade Me at the moment Konrad - just look for auctions listed by tolpuddle - 30 x Standard Dwarf Warriors, 36 x BFSP Warriors, 16 x Old Edition Warriors and some mixed stuff.

I'm cutting down on my collections to concentrate on building tournament armies, so dont need so many points anymore.

No Konrad, it's never too late !

Smelt them down and turn them into Vampires ;)

On that note, it's 12.26am here and time for me to go to bed (someone else's) and find that darned awkward carotid artery :)

Signing off from Castle von Sigmar,
Goodnight all.
