Continued the dwarfhold as promised, by means of a rock-shaped mold plaster in various forms.


Here's the result. The pieces of stone have beautiful texture and detail, and I love the tactile feeling of a nice plaster cast, but they're prone to shattering (Bad mix ratios?) It makes me nervous how they'll behave when I stick them onto the piece itself. More mixing is still to come anyway though, so I can justify a few cracked rocks in the name of learning.



In addition, heres some army pics to top of this week's update.

First our orc warboss: Grimaxe the Brvtal!
I think he's coming along nicely.



I'm going to build a box around the base of his trophy stick, and 
try to make the guy getting run over less unrealistic (Nice life jacket, dead guy.) before I paint him. The base also needs work to make it blend and fit the scene. No globs of unsanded green stuff cluttering my generals' path, please!

I also snapped two shots of my dwarfs. Behold the mountainhomes' grand warriors!
All four of them!



Poor lighting makes them look both worse and better than they actually are. 
Beards are a lot of fun to paint, skin tones not so much.

Anyway, that's all this week. My opponent got sick for our scheduled game, so my little army has its combat prowess are yet untested. Ah well, more time to make them pretty! If you want me to show anything specific, leave a comment and I'll see to it.
